Farm Diaries
« on: January 25, 2011, 10:49:47 am »
Yon Yonson and I are working on a grass fed farm together in Oregon. We are eating plenty of sheep and beef from the farm here.
Yesterday we bought a local live dungenous crab and killed and ate it. Wild albacore tuna is amazing here.
I will post more videos of the daily work we do like feeding hey etc.
We also rigged up a dehydrating system in our room with strings and a heater.

there will be more vids to come. I will make em shorter perhaps 5min in length next time.

@ys We work for food in shelter. The best thing is the experience I am getting. It's truly amazing to experience this. The work is easy and the farmer's are truly very good people. :)

www.meadowharvest.com is their website.

Eric is scrounging around cracking these tiny nuts from Texas hahaha.

Hmm, at some later stage I might well try something like this in Europe. Won't bother with the heater, though.

Yeah, the heater is a fan that blows warm air. Can adjust the temp. Pretty cool.


A bale of hay fell on lamb today. It ate away at the stack at teh bottom which cause the stack to fall. It died, Eric and I butchered it and ate the brain eyeballs etc. Glad it didn't go to waste.

What surprises me is that this farmer presumably allows you to eat raw meats. While I personally have no problems eating rawpalaeo while at home or with acquaintances at home, when I'm living with other people, I always feel the need to either just eat raw fruits and the like, or feel forced to try a little cooked animal food, if staying for longer.

Ah! Very lucky, you guys are!

I might go back to Switzerland and work at a farm for food, shelter and "pocket money" some time, but I don't know about the choices for getting any meats..

If there's ever room up there in Oregon, I'd love to give it a try some time to help out.

Nice videos!

Do you know the prices for suitable grassland in your area? (buying/renting) I'm just curios, as I am currently comparing land prices in europe for my own farming project...

No I am not sure on land prices. I am in Oregon volunteering, I am from Wisconsin. Sorry can't help much.

Def. do some vol. work especially if you can find a grass fed farm.
I use a JVC camera. Was about 240 bucks I think. A sales woman tried to talk me out of getting it. Recomending sony etc. instead.
 I decided to get the JVC. I am very happy with it for what I am using it for. I was actually able to get it from gov. aid money from Uni. :)

I am using windows movie maker for my videos. The movie maker 2.6 for windows xp i download because I like it more (has slow motion effect) than the movie maker on my windows 7 laptop. XP movie maker doesn't except my video file my camera has though, but the windows 7 editor does. SO I save the video files on W7 to convert them, then edit them on xp 2.6 movie maker.

Yeah a lot of process, but it's pretty simple. I want to get adopbe premiere so I can be a bit more creative with my videos and have a better aspect ratio.
