Conversion of Energy

On the farm we currently cook on a wood stove. That means we are always needing wood to keep it going. Getting wood from the wood heap is a perpetual chore. As a kid it was the worst job! These days splitting wood or going out with the chainsaw and ute is a great anger management technique. Fresh air and exercise happens accidentally almost all the time out here! So all the trees that die become fire wood for us, if they don't become strainer posts or furniture timber, it then gets chopped to the right size so we can gain some energy from the food we cook or the warmth it gives off in the winter months! Farming is about cycles of life and respecting the way things happen naturally. We don't cut down green trees for wood, we do plant trees to replenish our supplies though.
