BillParticipantJac I have owned both an Elmira and a Stanley which I believe is made in you country both are good stoves Stanley is a no frill stove very functional and a good heater as well warming boxes on the Elmira are nice mine had stainless water coil and side water tank a nice looking stove with a big fire box and oven I like the grates in the stanley otherwise a toss up Stanley a little cheaper to buy the bell dampers on both models good once you learn how to use them

We don’t offer store milk to guests, but do “warn” them that our milk and cream is raw. Just about everyone is fine with it, which sort of surprises me. Sometimes somebody asks if there is a risk, but they generally dive in when they gauge my own unqualified belief in the safety and benefits of real milk.
when family friends kids friends etc come to the farm they all know how we live and eat so all eat what we eat or leave hungry on all occassions people leave satisfied and with a new appreciation for real food and where it came from they even get to know the names of the animals they have eaten
