Giveaway!

I'm so excited about this super fabulous giveaway sponsored by CSN Stores. They have everything from lighting to cookware to fitness equipment.  They are giving away this beautiful red apple peeler to one of you lucky readers!
This baby peels, slices, and cores apples. Just think how much apple sauce you can make if you have this peeler, think of how many dehydrated apples you can make. But, best of all, with this baby, you can enlist the help of your kids.  And when apple season is over,  it can also peel your potatoes!!! I'm starting to feel like an infomercial!

Tip: Each comment equals 1 entry. So leave a separate comment for each!

For your first entry: Leave us a comment about what your favorite theme here on backyard farming is. Example: recipes, gardening, chickens, current events, organic foods, raw milk etc.

For another entry: Blog about this giveaway on your blog, come back and leave a comment with your blog address. (This will also help promote your blog!)

For another entry: Become a fan of backyard farming on facebook, come back and leave us a comment that says "facebook". If you are already a fan on facebook, you already qualify for this entry.


For another entry: become a follower of backyard farming. You do this by clicking on the "follow" button on the right hand side of this blog. Come back and leave a comment that says "follower". If you are already a follower, you already qualify for this entry.

    My favorite theme to read about is gardening! I have a half acre though, and so my square foot garden method doesn't take enough room! I guess I need some chickens, so chickens is my second thing to read about! :)

  39. Stephen PalmerApril 15, 2010 at 6:57 PM

    1. Not sure if this is the type of theme you have in mind, but what I appreciate most is your balanced approach. I'm as passionate about locavorism and organic food production as anyone, but I'm also aware of the dangers of any extremes, and you all seem to get that too. (For example, Dale Johnson's post "The Demons of Factory Farms?")

    2. I've blogged about your giveaway here: http://palmerjourneys.wordpress.com/
