This Week on the Homestead

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.

Life is returning to a farm that has been empty for years. Flowers and food are growing again in places that have not been cared for.

Rhubarb. Lots and lots of rhubarb. We now have over 100 cups chopped up in the freezer. Some pie, some dump cake, some stewed.

Our patch is a combination of many patches that we had in Newmarket, which we dug up and transplanted behind the chicken coop.

Good bye chickens, hello turkeys.
Last week we processed 9 chickens and they are now enjoying a chillier lifestyle in the freezer. This week we brought home 11 turkeys. They too will grow up, and one day join the chickens in the freezer.

This week we made a few additions to our farm. We got two steers and two pigs. First day in, one of the steers got out and went for a little adventure, but found it's way back.

Well, well, well. Thursday afternoon the well quit working. Until now, we did not know where our well was located, but in Thursday we had not water so we had to find it. after digging a long trench out behind the house and almost running into the chicken coop, we found it. After some exploration we realized that the foot valve had stopped working. Friday, we tried to find someone to help us out, but with no luck we had to figure it out. After 3 trips to hardware stores, we finally got water back on Saturday afternoon. It was a dry few days but we survived. At least we know where the well is now.
