We started Farm Blogs at http://www.farmblogs.org to give farms who may be daunted by getting their own website an option for easily getting their own blogs with either their own domain name, or theirname.farmblogs.org. If they know how, they can set up and maintain their blogs, or we can even help them get them set up and teach them how to easily maintain their blog.'
The purpose of this blog is to gather in one place the best farm blogs from around the world. Recommended farm blogs are asked to send a brief email (to info AT ianwalthew.com) about their farm and their blog, and to include their own recommended farm blogs. I then make a posting. If it gets any more complicated that that, then....well, the idea is that it doesn't get much more complicated than that.

Alpaca Farm Girl may be known to some of you but check out Brookfarm...
Here's Debbie on the set up:
BROOKFARM ALPACAS ~ Where raising quality alpacas and producing superb fiber is our top priority!
'Our plan with Brookfarm was to bring the Brookfarm name back to reality ~ the farm name that Mark's grandparents used for the original 33 acres when the thriving egg farm was active and Grand Father raised a few beef and many other animals.
Our 11 acres of the farm had been used over the years for casual farming with Nubian dairy goats, New Zealand Red rabbits, some geese, ducks, chickens; even a pony and horse. For years, the chickens remained along with assorted dogs and cats. With Mark's retirement from the fire service, we decided to bring Brookfarm back to a working farm, beginning with Alpacas and Maremma livestock guardian dogs.'
