My first thought is a story about the pigs , but with Tyler growing up around all the critters, perhaps a story from his point of view as he meets and greets all the different species while the turkey boys follow him around the farm.

I'm fairly new to this blog, but LOVE it and have passed it along to several of my friends who love it.<br /><br />I see many wonderful ideas listed above. Mine is this: How about a book that takes each season at Bee Haven and writes about tasks, food, chores, animal stories, fun stuff and not so fun stuff. It could be called: Bee Haven Farm in Four Seasons or Four Seasons on the Farm. You get the picture. I LOVE all things chickens and roosters. I have a collection of roosters and chickens so of course I hope I get chosen for the wonderful tote.

I would use Sammy as the narrator and it could be used to educate the vast majority of children who have never visited a farm and have no idea what work there is to be done as well as fun things to celebrate & do. You could also do a story about what the pre-schoolers see/learn when they come for a tour in the Fall. I really feel that kids are so deprived of contact with any farmlife & nature. They would love to learn how goats milk can be made into soap, how the bee's wax is harveste and made into lip balm, how you can make jam from the berries you pick and how Mother animals take care of the babies in the springtime.<br />There are ideas everywhere you look at Bee Haven Acres.<br />Can't believe you whipped up that cute purse sans pattern no less!Ellen in Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03484004145095198712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617428990857687043.post-21676005374420839082013-02-02T17:24:43.685-05:002013-02-02T17:24:43.685-05:00How about two beautiful piggy detectives solving m...How about two beautiful piggy detectives solving mysteries around the farm.

Your animals...how did you decide to raise goats and chickens and all the rest of your beloved pets?? I read alot and I just love the notion of an all Americana farm/love/family story. And you cannot leave out the negatives of farm life/love life/pet life/family life. It is what it is: LIFE! Good times and bad. I am looking forward to whatever you decide to do! But as the saying goes, write WHAT YOU KNOW...and in the back of the book...add some of your favorite canning recipes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07066336775376663156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617428990857687043.post-28094052350923811312013-01-31T20:17:43.552-05:002013-01-31T20:17:43.552-05:00Oooh!

Also the benefits of farm fresh milk and cheese versus store bought. Also farm beef and pork and vegis the list just goes on and on and it would be nice to see an American farm handbook like this.

Even just homesteading, gardening for food had fallen to the wayside. With the economy the way it is, it is a perfect time for others to learn how to be more self sufficient. And to be honest, even though I have trained a chow-shepherd mix to be militantly obedient, I have never been able to get him to learn how to be more social with other dogs, let alone other species. I would love to know how you do that!Kellie from Indianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14336038070977514482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617428990857687043.post-17173272797271779662013-01-31T09:47:12.036-05:002013-01-31T09:47:12.036-05:00Hi, Bev, love the cute purse!
