Welcome to Knotalotta Acres, where there is never Knotalotta going on! 🌻 We technically began our journey in 2010 with the hopes of having a successful garden. We harvested everything from corn to beans and herbs to lettuce. It was decent, but we both learned a lot from that first garden. In 2011 we had a little more luck with our produce and we added a flock of chickens. We built a chicken tracto

r and they spent much of their time grazing in the yard. However we had bigger plans for them. In 2012 we moved the garden to a larger part of the yard, and let the chickens have that space to roam. We also added some guinea hens and ducks to our flock, which we later decided wasn't such a good idea and traded them for some bantams. In 2012, we harvested 400+ pounds of produce. Yet again we had bigger plans for the following year...

This year we have added meat birds (cornish X rocks), and are adding Black Australorps, Auraucanas, and White Orpingtons. We are trying to produce our own meat chickens for a whole year. On top of adding meat chickens, we also added some Flemish Giants, Anne and Henry, who produced a litter of 7 on 1/23/13. We are hoping to crossbreed with either Californians or New Zealands for a smaller meat rabbit. Our other goal for 2013 is to produce 800+ pounds of produce. So join us on our journey of trials and tribulations. We hope to inspire everyone in our approach to a more simple, self sufficient life. We'll be doing everything from butchering our first rabbits and meat birds, canning and food preservation, producing heirloom fruits and vegetables, cooking with our produce and home grown meat, and everything in between.

I was busy yesterday!!
Made 3 different sourdough breads...Asiago (by request), Cinnamon Swirl, and Pumpkin Spice.

I harvested 4 cabbages Monday, so I'm working on sauerkraut, which I've never been fully successful at. Usually it ends up molding. But I'm determined to get this batch right. I'm also fermenting jalapenos. Only because I'm not getting enough to make Cowboy Candy...my personal favorite. And I'm curious how fermented jalapenos will taste.

Canned 21 pints of pinto beans because we've been out of them for a while. Today will probably be kidney beans, because chili season is right around the corner!

And slowly started putting up fall decor. Because to me, fall starts Sept 1st 🍂 Even though it was 90° yesterday 😂 I got this cute rustic pumpkin at a garage sale over the summer and I just love him!!

I didn't realize it was gonna be rainy all day tomorrow (too busy in the kitchen and in the garden to check the forecast☺️)
So we will be closed all day tomorrow. But that gives me a chance to make more fall candles!! 🍂
