Anna Hess and Mark Hamilton are hunkering down for the winter, yet they still blog every day about their up-to-date frozen homesteading adventures. They pay the bills by making and selling a new kind of chicken waterer that brings industrial drinking technology to backyard poultry flocks and puts a smile on every chicken who uses it.
