		<description><![CDATA[It has been six months since Maple was born. In that time he lead a grand life, in the high style&#8230;.for a male dairy calf, that is. Hazel, his mother, was ill just after his birth‚Äîketosis‚Äîso we weaned him a week earlier than were going to. At first we bottle fed Maple, but within the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sweet Success</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When we moved to Claddagh Farm, some of the first livestock I wanted to get was some bees. I was forunate enough to meet Ed Wynn, a local school teacher and avid beekeeper, who helped me realize I didn&#8217;t have time, money or energy for bees my first, second, or maybe even third year getting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Apples Aplenty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been funny weather today. First, hot and sunny, then a heavy downpour. After milking this morning I launched into a project I&#8217;ve been itching to do, but haven&#8217;t had the time, inclination or the equipment. That all changed with the temporary loan of a GPS system. It took me most of the morning, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Duck from Start to Finish</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well&#8230;perhaps not start, after all I didn&#8217;t breed ducks to lay the eggs which were hatched to get these ducklings, but you get the drift. On the morning of a mad September day I hatched out a scheme to raise a flock of ducks with the express purpose of getting some fellow cooks together to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whew! I&#8217;m finally feeling like I have a little chance to breath. Last week I slaughtered our annual pig and this weekend I butchered and processed it.
