Thanks Ian.<BR/><BR/>I would love to send you a little blurb and my favorite farmblog sites, although I have to warn you my farm is on the inside rather than expansive acreage.... not that urban food production isnt vitally important!<BR/><BR/>thanks Ian.<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/>the duck herderThe Duck Herderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12804351827909380328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6583967256794233997.post-66687991278986440922009-02-01T21:25:00.000+11:002009-02-01T21:25:00.000+11:00Hi there, Re. www.farmblogs.blogspot.comSorry to b...Hi there, <BR/><BR/>Re. www.farmblogs.blogspot.com<BR/><BR/>Sorry to be a bit off topic here but please stick with me...<BR/><BR/>I run a blog called Farm Blogs from Around the World www.farmblogs.blogspot.com - it's just a hobby of mine, is non-commercial blog and it doesn't take advertising, apart from info about my own writing.) <BR/><BR/>At Farm Blogs I am trying to gather in one place the very best of global blogging about farms and anyone involved in food or natural fibre production on any scale. <BR/><BR/>The idea behind Farm Blogs From Around the World (www.farmblogs.blogspot.com) is that people involved in farming/rural blogging recommend the blogs that they themselves find the most interesting.<BR/><BR/>When a blog is recommended to me (you were recommended to me by a blogger in Australia: http://farmblogs.blogspot.com/2009/02/bredbo-valleyview-farm-recommends.html ) I add the recommended blog to my site, as I have done with yours - with some basic info to help the country blog rolls be more than just a simple blog roll - then contact the recommended blog, asking for their own recommendations....which is how I come to be writing to you!<BR/><BR/>And so it grows, organically, hoping that good bloggers will lead us to great ones.<BR/><BR/>I'd really love it if you could send me a little text about your farm and your blog, so I can make a post about you, and ALSO you top 5 blog recommendations (extra points for any bloggers from countries not yet listed - we have Slovakia so I am growing!) <BR/><BR/>Can I hope to hear from you? I know it's a hassle but www.farmblogs.blogspot.com seems to meeting a real need and I try to do more than just a blog roll but help like minded people find each other.<BR/><BR/>(If you could also put a link to Farm Blogs that would be great, but it's no drama if you don't feel like it or find me not worthy.)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for reading this and I look forward to hearing from you.<BR/><BR/>Kind regards,<BR/>Ian<BR/><BR/>P.S In the interests of knowing a little bit about your readers, I come to you from the Auvergne in France. I'm a writer, live here with my Australian wife and our three kids (www.aplaceintheauvergne.blogspot.com) but I also run www.farmblogs.blogspot.com<BR/><BR/>I'm a rural downshifter you could say with 10 acres and we're pretty basic - a pig a year, chickens, veggies and we barter grazing and hay for meat and potatoes. We're hoping to expand as the family grows.Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07857867583072689277noreply@blogger.com
