We are basically done with our grass fed beef from 3 years ago and will most likely buy a quarter or half from Wundrows in the coming months.  We purchased 1/2 a pig from Ibelings after fair and are quickly making our way through it.  We purchased a lamb from Knutsens in the spring and are slowly making our way through it :)  It is stronger flavored and also pricier so we are spreading it out.  The meat chickens did well this year and are disappearing all too quickly.  The 5 new layers started laying, but then stopped so they are a disappointment so far as they've been here since May and we've gotten only a few dozen if we are lucky.  The 2 year old girls molted and also stopped laying so we are basically eggless right now.  Kelby is eating duck eggs from Wundrows and other friends.  Milk still comes from Wundrows, honey from the neighbor on 140 and most of the produce is from our own gardens.  It was a late, but productive tomato year for us.  We got apples from Marcee, our tree and Aunt Betty, strawberries from our patch and Wundrows, Peaches from Michigan through Kauffmans.  Syrup still from Troy, but may need to price other places as he is getting higher and gave us less for the higher price this year.  Have a bunch of squashes and pumpkins that are partially cooked and partially waiting to be cooked.  They were bought at Aldi and at the 4 way stop in Clinton.  Potatoes did terrible in the ground this year and will be back in a raised bed for sure!  All in all it has been a good year and our freezers and shelves are very full!
