Not 1 a day any longer

I have been putting up a post a day for since January 1, 2007. The first year was all about chickens, the next about cows and this year about farms. My appreciation for farmers has grown immensely since moving to the middle of Nowhere in Upstate NY in 2005. A great friend and her family run a grassfed farm with cows, chickens, pigs, and various other animals. It is a great place to visit.
Through knowing more farmers and makers in general, my husband and I decided to no longer immerse ourselves in technology, which we do not enjoy, but to become maker’s ourselves. Not farmers, but restauranteers. Just about as risky as owning a farm.
So, my days will now be filled with making and serving BBQ and the items that go with it. You can follow our progress at chachahut.com. And if you are ever in the middle of nowhere in Upstate NY (also known as Roxbury), look us up.
I will still put up items that I find interesting about maker’s, farmers, organic farming and the like, it just will be far more sporadic.
Thank you for spending time with me over the last few years.
