Well folks, we have almost made it through another year, a new year is almost upon us.
So what is everyone's general goals for 2017.
In my house we have: X $ value of saving for our farm.
New skills to learn, smoking meat (if I can get my smoker that I have my eye on), making powdered egg (we now have the recipe, we just need to get the food dehydrator).
We have just purchased a number of test solar charged lights, to test to see how much we can save in electricity by using off grid lighting. We have just spend a week, fine tuning our fridges and freezers to the optimal temp to save money again. Fridge 3-5 Deg C, Freezers -15 to -18 Deg C, apparently is optimal for both food preservation and cost savings.
Oh and improving our veggie beds, possibly with shade cloth areas for certain plants.

Great Idea mate:
We have a list 3 feet long...lol
Getting my work shop will be a priority for next year, and if the weather holds we can get our containers moved.
Jinny wants a cover over the pool, and the verandahs finished next year.
Food wise, I want to get a ship load of hard wheat put away. (Wheat, rice, beans, buckwheat and such will last years...where canned food 5-10 years max)
That will do for now.
