That's how many jars of preserves we ended up with when all was said and done. Plus the 12 jars of apricots. Then there's all the different liqueurs Nin's made. Got my brother a book on root cellaring, so maybe next year we can do some long term storage of veggies and such. He's also going to put in apple trees in the spring. More fruit! I still think we need a goat [g]

Woot! That's awesome :) The liqueurs sound particularly interesting.

No goats! *is alarmed for you* Even though they look cute - Goats escape (a goat could have escaped from Alcatraz), they eat things you don't want them to eat, and boy goats smell and often have bad tempers :) Can you tell I've had bad experiences with them??

We were thinking of little pygmy goats, or maybe pygoras like a freind has. And we have such a lot of land with all sorts of sagebrush that turns into tumbleweeds, plus the deadfall fruit, that they'd be helpful -- plus I could start making cheese!

Wow cheese making too? That would be awesome.

I've toyed with the idea :) Would probably have to build a separate outbuilding for such endeavours however - maybe combine it with wine making.
