Amish Barn Raising Finale

The local Amish told us they were going to put up our poultry barn. :) The barn is 12' x 24'. I couldn't do a constant live video as the Amish do not believe in getting their pics taken/videos. They have been such a blessing to us. In this video, you will see why. They finished their part of it. We'll show you the inside and Hub's plan for finishing. #appalachianmercantile #sustainable #growyourownfood #semioffgrid #greenliving #earthing #gardenplanning #almostamish

Nice barn!
Have you raised turkeys previously? Will you be selling poultry or is it just for your own use? Will you process yourself? We have Amish in our area that process for $3.00 per bird. It’s not terribly expensive but when added to the price of the bird and feed it can add up. I. Wondering what type of birds you’ll raise also? Wow, I’ve peppered you with lots of questions there 🙂

I had turkey growing up. We will be selling and eating. We do process ourselves. These birds are a heritage breed called Bronze turkeys. They differ from your grocery store turkey in that all the meat tastes like dark meat. It is more flavorful and not dry like typical breast meat. Once you have eaten a heritage breed turkey, you will never eat another 'grocery store' turkey again. Thanks for watching and commenting!
