Going Farmer Green

We buy grain from the feed mill and it comes in those white plastic bags.  Usually I reuse these for garbage bags, but they also make reusable grocery bags.  Cut off the top half of a hundred pound sack.  Hem the top edge.  Cut the top half into handles, hem and attach at the sides of the bag.  Give your kids a box of permanent markers and let them decorate your bag.  Depending on the amount of grain that you buy, you could have a mess of these.  Enough to maybe even sell some as a fund raiser for your homeschool or 4-H club.


It's all part of being a good steward.

I love that idea! One day when we get out chickens I 'll have to remember that.

Hey, thanks for hangin' out at my place for a while, and leaving a comment.

If you come up with any more good stewardship ideas, let me know. I'm all about it!
