Broad-winged Farm is a permaculture landscape in process. Situated on six acres of prime swampland, our goals are energy efficiency, food sustainablility, and land stewardship. BWF is also the umbrella for several community minded organizations that are intent on bringing nature, traditional foods, and ancestral skills into people's everyday lives.
2/7/12 Recently built a cold smoker and fired it up last weekend. It worked better than expected. Smoked a small ham and bacon for about 5 hours and that was just about perfect. Unfortunately, they came out very salty, so I must have over done the sodium during the cure. I'm soaking the bacon to see if I can pull some of the salt out.
11/10/11 Beds are top dressed with composted cow manure. Grapes are pruned. Garlic is planted. Zone 1 is ready for winter. Time to go deer hunting.
11/10/11 Pigs are getting close to the 200lb mark. When the temps get cold enough it will be time to send them to freezer camp. My neighbor is going to show us how to scald, scrape, and cut the old fashioned way. We'll start with the male and see how it goes.
We've become a Shaklee distributor since we had trouble finding one near us. Shaklee is an old and reputable company that is dedicated to products that are completely safe for people and the environment- something we are deeply committed to ourselves. We will be donating 50% of our profits to the Homesteading Arts Cooperative and 50% to the Maine Primitive Gathering, so your purchase will not only help yourself and the planet, it will also help a great group of people.
