Well, here we are. John and I decided about a week ago that we'd like to have a writing outlet to express his ideas regarding the animals here at the Beekman and for myself to blog about all of the opportunities for creative development relating to life with those animals here on the farm. A farm, after all, is not only breeding ground for baby animals... it is also for physical labor - labor that needs to be done daily... twice! And since "necessity is the mother of invention", the farm turns out to be a breeding ground for innovation too!
And that's where I come in. I'm an "Idea Man" and my goal is to not only help my partner by haying, watering, and sweeping after his herd, but to simplify and streamline his workflow too.
So this website will be the place to read about what I'm working on now. It's been a "Multi Bottle Feeder" for the goat kids, an "Egg Condo" for the Beekman hens, a "3 in 1 Hay Feeder" for our buck boys, and even John's "8 Milking Goat Stanchion" that I created for him just recently. (Photos of all of these are at the bottom of my intro page.)
But my upcoming projects will not be work related. The barn is, for now, in great shape. So my energies are being shifted to more art related farm products. I will explain more deeply about this in my next post.
I am extremely excited to be here blogging with you at this stage in my life. I look forward to when next we meet!
