Becker Farms: Wide Awake!

Sunday, March 29, 2009

Wide Awake!

Isn't it funny how I hit snooze 5 times on workdays and can still barely get up when I have to - and then this weekend I bounded out of bed by 7:30 AM all on my own, with no alarm at all!? My husband likes to say that he can work 14 hours on the farm and not feel as tired as after 8 hours on the clock.

This promises to be a productive day and I'll be back later on to post about it. Just thought I'd stop in and wish every one a good morning! Enjoy your day! :)

Local & Eco-friendly Changes We've Made

We've given up Pop Tarts in place of fried eggs (from our chickens), canned fruit, and homemade granola bars.
A Sigg and Klean Kanteen have replaced often reused Powerade bottles.
Locally grown & ground flours have replaced ones shipped from far away.
Homemade laundry soap and dishwashing detergent have replaced the store bought versions.
Thanks to Crunchy Chicken I now use Crystal deodorant and The Diva Cup instead of traditional products
Wal-mart is now completely boycotted! (I have to admit I've been there occas. lately, and still not happy with their service!)
No buying fruit out of season
Shopping is rare and includes e-bay, craigslist, and freecycle most of the time
Locally grown popcorn from the farmer's market has replaced the microwaveable junk around here
Canning season has expanded to include: applesauce, apple pie filling, peaches, pears, & tomato sauce. Hopefully the fruit will last all year!
Homemade baked goods have replaced store-bought: bread, bagels, granola bars
No more plastic grocery bags, I either take my own or when I forget I opt for paper which we reuse for wrapping gifts, etc.
Giving "green" gifts
Recycling at my work - turning out to be a huge success!
Ramped up recycling at home
