[Nfb-krafters-korner] Susan and her farm was RE: any bulky machineknitters?

[Susan Roe]

That's one of the plans in the future.  LOL
I'm hoping he'll want to get the sheep before the two dairy goats, because 
the sheep will be less time consumeing than the dairy goats.  I like to get 
one thing set and settled before moving onto the next.  Right now, my three 
flocks of chickens fit as a fiddle and I have a good customer base for my 
eggs.  This year, he is planting grapes and starting with his first bee 
hive.
