With the transmission blown in the truck and no funds to fix it, the wagon for the smart car is getting a lot of use. I had to load the chickens in it last night, thanks to my friend Dale and his nephew, who came to catch them for me. This morning I hitched the wagon to the car and took the roosters to the processing plant in St. Paul. There, while in the line up, I had the good fortune to meet a like minded person who is attempting to farm organically using permaculture methods, very similar to me, only he does not raise as many animals. I am looking into perennial vegetables that will grow in this area for next spring and also will be planting an orchard of fruit trees as an experimental plot. The trees that do well will be repeated in another area along with berries, nuts and ground fruits.
In the meantime, I am very thankful to my deceased friend, Bil, who designed the super easy trailer hitch and sold me his little wagon to go along with it. The boys at the processors were amused by the unusual mode of transport for the chickens, but whew, it was surely better than having them in the car with me- the chickens, not the boys!
