Questions and Answers

Good Morning,
Here are a few answers to a few questions.
Do you sell the metal chicken box nest that FarmMan builds?

If you can come to the farm and pick them up, yes they are for sell. He has a few of the 2 hole ones and several of the 4 hole ones made. Just email me gacountrygirl75@gmail.com for the info.

Can you ship the nest boxes?
No, the weight makes it expensive to ship.

What are you doing with all those eggs?


A whole lot of omelets for one thing. Egg salad sandwiches, scrambled eggs and boiled eggs. Even BoDog gets scrambled eggs.

Relatives and neighbors are enjoying the eggs also. Before too long, we hope to have an incubator going to start hatching baby chicks/biddies.

What does okra taste like?

Fried up it tastes like all our Southern fried dishes.
My Southern recipe: If it ain't wiggling put some egg and flour on it and fry it up. If it is wiggling wait until it stops, then flour it good and fry it up. Mmm good.


Pickled it taste like a dill cucumber pickle.

and boiled it just taste slimy. (my opinion)Not my favorite way.
I do like in vegetable soup and gumbo.

How many cuttings of hay do you get a year?

This year we only had one cutting due to the drought. Most years 2 cuttings and rarely we had 3 cuttings.

What kind of hay do you grow?

We have some coastal Bermuda(about 3 acres) some Millet and the rest whatever came up and survived through the drought this year. A lot of crabgrass. Crabgrass is a high quality summer annual forage grass that is well adapted to the sandy soils and climatic conditions of the southern Coastal Plain.

Do the bales you grow feed your animals all winter?

Yes. We only have 4 cows, 9 goats, and Jack right now. We had about 15 bales left from last year that we are using around the farm to cover grass seeds and washes(if we ever get a good rain).

Can I come pick persimmons at your place? Do you sell them?

Sorry, no. If you can beat the wild animals to them you are lucky. Coyotes, opossums, foxes, rabbits and who ever else gets to the persimmons first gets them and it's usually not me.
If you like peeling pears now.... I am still canning pears and making pear sauce.

I'll have more answers later on to your questions. Feel free to email me anytime to ask also.
Thank-you for your visits. I appreciate it.
Have a great day.
