Just keep an eye out here for more information on the Powder Springs property we're buying. We're hoping it doesn't take any longer than a month to get a closing date, but we're at the mercy of our lender. Hopefully we'll have more to share soon!

I live in Powder Springs. My mother had a small equine operation on my grandparents' property and has since moved onto larger acreage in Paulding County. I grew up on the back of a horse in every discipline. Please let me know if your deal goes through, I'd love to meet ya'll (even if it doesn't). Powder Springs? I live in Powder Springs.

We either get SA White Oil Company in Marietta to deliver it to us 400 gallons at a time (we have a 500 gallon tank here) or we buy it at the Citgo (B-20 only) if it's winter time. When we move to Powder Springs (assuming this property deal goes through) we'll even have the B-20 delivered. We figure this lets us focus on working the farm instead of brewing biodiesel. The problem with biodiesel is that some of the individual ingredients can be hazardous to work with - causing fires, burns, etc. It also produces a lot of glycerin as a byproduct. So instead of deal with the ins and outs of biodiesel production, we gladly support our local biodiesel brewer... encouraging continued production. :-) Daniel – actually, we purchase our biodiesel already made.

I've been wanting to do this myself, I guess I just haven't pursued it hard enough. Are making it yourself or do you buy it from some where? I'm a big fan of Joel Salatin (Polyface Farm)& Tim and Liz Young (Nature's Harmony Farm). I'd love to see some of the techniques you're using. Bio-diesel!
