This Week on the Homestead

Little bit of a unique opportunity. We were asked to fill these bags full of logs. Once they were full, the boys set out early to meet the Tancook Ferry. There a crane lifted them onto the boat and off they went.

Our sunflowers are massive! Some of them are over 7 feet tall!
We planted the sunflowers at the entrance to our veggie garden and now it it defiantly a grand entrance.

This Week on the Homestead

This week was a bit of a sad week. We got some more chicken nuggets, but unfortunately, two chicks were having a hard time. We noticed they weren't under the heat lamp one night, so we brought them in to warm up. They were doing alright for a bit, but then they weren't eating or drinking much. We lost one. The other was doing alright, so we left it by the heater with food and water. When we checked, we saw that it to had also passed away.
It's unfortunate, but it's also a part of having animals.
The other 16 seem to be doing well, growing as they should.

You may ask yourself what we use for our animal bedding. Well, we go to a local lumber mill and fill bags with wood shavings. We use these shavings for the laying hens and the pigs.

Homegrown goodness! Our veggie garden did very well for our first year. We have more cucumbers than we know what to do with, more beans than we can eat, and so many tomatoes. We have yet to pick our pumpkins and squash, but they seem to be growing well. What a summer! We're looking forward to many more.

Back in the woods the boys. They have spent time working hard in the forest—cutting down trees, hauling the logs out of the woods, and cutting and splitting the wood. Most of the wood we sell, people buy logs and split wood. Some is for our wood boiler that provides us with heat and hot water.

Time for the garlic harvest. We love garlic and have been growing it for a few years now. Now that we have more land, we have more garlic. Too much garlic to count.

Pickles anyone?
This year we are growing pickle cucumbers in our garden. This week, we made some of those cucumbers into pickles! Whole pickles, round pickles and pickled wedges.

The chickens fast out grew their home, so we built them a new one and they love it. Unfortunately we're down to 23 meat birds, but they're doing great. We previously had them in the top part of the one of our chicken tractors, but they were getting too big to all still be in there. We built this one, which is bigger and has a better roof, so they have somewhere to go in the rain.

All of our animals just keep on growing.
Right now we have 2 pigs, 2 cows, 11 turkeys, 24 meat chickens and 30 laying hens.
We get an average of 28 eggs a day. The meat birds are quickly out growing their home. We are working on building a bigger place for them.
