Flores Permaculture

Thank you Nouria and Philip for all your help and carpentry skills. The Wwoofer Cabana now has another wall to keep the elements out, but to allow the sunlight in. The view from inside, as the wall is finished and the door is mounted.  The final product.  We used all recycled materials for this job.  Only the nails and studs were store bought. The Wwoofer Cabana  is nearly a fully functioning house now, ready to host all of our wonderful volunteers.  Thank you all so muh, the farm would not be possible without you!

In my ongoing quest to provide high quality and healthy protein to all those living on my farm, I have been raising chickens and Guinea Fowl for eggs and meat.   This year it is time to eat the old and introduce the new.  This is to introduce new genetic material into the flock and to eat the older hens that no longer lay eggs reliably. The first step is to catch the rooster and hens that are on the menu. We give them a last cuddle and thank them for their service before slaughtering them.  They are friends and helpers that deserve respect. We remove their heads and feathers first. Sofie and Sofia are awesome helpers and quick learners!  Thank you ladies. Next the meat is removed from the carcass and the rest added to the compost pile for recycling into next years gardens. The new Rooster is introduced to the remaining flock.  Later in the season eggs will be collected and incubated to pass on his genetics ...
