Try it….you’ll like it….
….coconut oil. A few years back we began using it instead of olive oil. Unlike olive oil, coconut oil doesn’t break down at high temperatures. Turns out it’s like WD-40; it does just about everything. Sweetener in your coffee…shampoo…toothpaste. Here’s an article from Dr. Joe Mercola about its many benefits. We order large jugs of it at Amazon to hold down the cost. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/11/18/coconut-oil-uses.aspx

Here we go again….
….we enjoy trying things at Thistle Hill. And here’s today’s “thing”: a shipment of apple cider vinegar. It’s been around for a long time as an all-around tonic for livestock (and humans). But most recently it was a column by Dr. Will Winter that made us decide to try it. ACV is said to be good for everything from hair coat to feed conversion. Whether we’ll save money on hay is hard to say. ACV isn’t cheap and the shipping about doubled the price. We’ll keep you posted on the experiment.
