What do farmers do in the winter? Great question!
Dear Friendly Farmer,
My daughter has a pet rabbit and we like to feed it a little hay from time to time. Since we only need a little bit at a time, I usually just buy a bale at my local feed store, but the last time I went, hay DOUBLED in price! What gives? Can I get it cheaper from a local farmer?
Signed,
Hay Now
I want to grow as many vegetables as I can for my family, but I am new to vegetable gardening. I’ve harvested my garlic and my peas are all dried up. What can I plant in their place?
Dear Friendly Farmer,
I sent my husband to the local pet store to get some dog food in Mid-March and he came home with six fluffy and adorable baby chicks. We thought they were all hens, but one has started to crow! How do I find a new home for this rooster before my neighbors want to kill me? Help!
I recently moved to a town with many more farms than we’ve ever lived near before. I’m used to shopping in the grocery store and usually look for organic when I can afford it. Now I’ll be looking for farmer’s markets or farm stores to shop in during the growing season, but I’m nervous. How do I go about finding these places? Will they have all the stuff I need?
