Pinto Canyon Mercantile



I've been wanting to do a post on the Pinto Canyon Mercantile! Teryn slows down on Sundays, and we usually use that time to get supplies. What that means is that we go up to the barns and get produce from the garden, and eggs and milk from the refrigerator in the milk room. We milk in the room pictured, then strain the milk, and put it in the refrigerator as quick possible. We drink it raw, and the quicker it cools the higher quality the milk. We keep the chickens in the goat pens where they are safe from predators. So we also store eggs in that refrigerator. It works out really good, because it is a central place, and who ever needs supplies, just goes and gets what they need. One goat and 6 chickens gives plenty of milk and eggs for us, Tricia's bunch, and Dale.
