Not just fruits and veggies



What about wood?  Yes, we do harvest wood from our land.  This weekend we harvested two trees.  A maple and a birch, both of which were dying anyways and are part of the hardwood family.  Hardwood is the kind of wood that is used to burn longer and it works very well with our soapstone stove. We rented a splitter to make smaller pieces of wood and then our plans are to "season" the wood, which means leave it in a sunny spot for at least 8 months, so that is ready to use after that.
