In 2009, I was not happy with the politics of the development where we were living.
I thought moving to the area where our daughter was living, so I check out houses in the area.
There was just something wrong with all of them.
I found a place that out in the country though close enough that I could get to a store that sold groceries. Dear hubby was always complaining how much he hated the place.
The place we live now was in an area near a place that our daughter had a dear lease.
The remoteness has its drawback though we both love it here and am glad I picked this place.
1 9 inch pie shell 1 cup dried rose hips 1⁄4 cup milk 1 1⁄2 cups sifted flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 dash salt 1⁄2 cup shortening 1 3⁄4 cups brown sugar 2 egg yolks, beaten 2 egg whites pecan halves (optional)
directions
1. Prepare pastry and line a pie pan.
2. Soften rose hips in milk.
3. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cream in shortening and brown sugar, mixing well. This makes a crumbly mixture--reserve one cup for topping. To the remainder add the egg yolks and rose hips.
4. Beat the egg whites until peaks form. Fold into the berry mixture.
5. Spoon into pie pan and sprinkle with crumbly topping. Garnish with pecans if desired.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes
So, I'm finding a need more surface area for the meat to cure in. Using the cement mixing tub (which I'm still using), the salt absorbs the moisture, but then the moisture doesn't have any place to go to. I turned it a couple of times yesterday, which allows the air to get to the top layer and evaporates the moisture from the salt, but the layers underneath stay damp.
Some ideas I had last night, could use a table frame, with screening, could use old cotton pillow cases like bags and hang them
I heard this one on a TV show though it seems to be a very popular joke as it is everywhere:
A boy comes up to the Mexican border on his bicycle. He’s got two large bags over his shoulders. The guard stops him and says, "What’s in the bags?" "Sand," he answered. What is this boy smuggling?
If that were my tank I would use 2 x 4s to build a cage around the tank. Maybe three in the front and three in the back anchored in concrete the with horizontal 2 x 4s for braces on all sides.
Situating the tank on a bed of sand might also help.
We used 2x6 tongue and groove boards for our countertops. On the the underside we fastened the the boards together with pocket screws so we didn't have to use any glue. We applied a couple of coats of linseed oil to the top and reapply every 6 months or so.

Set up a farmers market or road side stand to sell vegetables and other items. Members could donate items to sell until gardens are producing enough to sell.
As for selling produce… i dont think that will be enough to pay for much of anything.
Our farmers market here has a lot more than produce. As I suggested, member's would donate items to sell at the farmers market or road side stand.
Breads and other baked goods, salsas, jellies and pickles, microgreens and sprouts, and even meats products like jerky.
What about custom made jewelry or pottery? Things that member's can donate.

In the fall, pumpkins are a great fund raiser.

Have a bingo Night, an Auction,bake Sale, a cook-off are some other great fund raisers.
In the organization I have been a part of the Auctions have generated the most money. Members donate the items to be auctioned.
I have also be involved with candy or cookie sales and car washes.
