Watching Port Protection on disney plus really makes me yearn for a community like theirs.
One guy taught a newcomer how to skin a beaver and tan the hide and he took the meat to another neighbor in trade for jam.
That is who I was raised. Helping your neighbors, trading knowledge and bounty

Did you know waterfowl need essential vitamins like vitamin B and E for proper growth! Peas are a great source of vitamin B. We like to boil, rinse in cold water and makes pea smothies for our younger ducks.

Did you know garlic is fairly easy to grow?
In the fall before the frost plant largest cloves root down, In spring you will start to see sprouts and by june/july depending on climate you will have full bulbs of garlic. Just pull, shake off the dirt and hang to dry for 2-4 weeks in a dark dry space!

This is the updated Bill for anyone who is interested.
The summary says this :the amendment clarifies that a county or municipality may not adopt an ordinance that prohibits a person from keeping chickens on that person’s residential property! #chickens #maine
