Brothers M. Mondays – Care of the Earth

Brothers M. Mondays – A new post each Monday until the 2018 market season starts on 5/26.

We recycle at our house and in the past have reused our plastic bags for Brothers M. Poultry.  With the increasing awareness of waste plastic polluting the environment, we’re switching to paper bags made from recycled material.  They look nice and are better for the environment.  Get one free with every chicken purchase.

Brothers M. Mondays – Tarps

Each year the chicken tractor tarps need to be replaced.   These are an important part of the tractor providing shelter from rain and storms as well as shade. Therefore they need to be in good shape each year.

 

Brothers M. Mondays – New Sign painted by our artist

Brothers M. Mondays – A new post each Monday until the 2018 market season starts on 5/26.

We needed new signs for the farmers markets.  Samantha offered her talents to help with the creation.  She likes painting and does a good job, so filling in the tracing lines was a snap for her.

The signs are made of recycled pallet wood.  They feature a rope handle and space in the middle to carry most of our farmers market materials.

We used a home made carbon paper method to transfer the outline to the boards for painting.  Basically cover the back side with pencil graphite then traced real hard.
