Garry flies out Wednesday evening to start his trip to Ukraine through Poland, we're busy getting his bag packed with the various things for Max and the farm (like parts for equipment they can't get there) and gifts for people. Which means I am trying to figure out how to pack a grain shovel and handle, some heavy replacement "knives" for the hay mower, and the presents I'd like to send around them.
He's planning to head to the lake for a little more fishing before he leaves, so I'm trying to get organized. Hopefully all goes well, he meets the other guys in Warsaw he will be traveling with on the trains.
The farm's cheesemaking enterprise was featured on the news in Ukraine, here's a link to it on YouTube; although there is no English translation, you can see Oleg and Elena and one of the ladies who help make cheese and the students milking. Click on the headline- Cheesemaking on the News
Highlight translation- The household is self-sufficient and produces cheese, cream, butter and curd (cottage cheese) from surplus milk. There are dozens of adults working on the household with various deficits. All live in houses owned by the farm. When you hear moloko, that's the word for milk!
