[Homesteadingfamily] Re: [raw_goatmilk] ummm question

Thank you all so much for responding at least I feel my annoyance is
validated. I have left a general phone message at the paper and sent
a more detailed email explaining that the author was not given
permission to use pics of my farm animals or products. We will see
what i hear back and I will update you tomorrow.This was a hugh
centerfold 2 page spread from our ex apprentice on her experiences on
a goat farm in our town and although our farm name was not mentioned
our town name was and the whole town only has about 600 people-so the
whole county knows us!
I tell ya I knew she has dreams of being a writter but to see our
animals faces with names along side not a month after we asked her to
leave was a shock! I will definately have to add a new claus to the
new apprentice description!
I will be reading all the links supplied and for you local folks it
this weeks downeast coastal right dead center! Kim Roos
