Our first dahlia of the season! I’m looking forward to lots more blooms! 🌸🌺🌼 This is a ‘Jowey Winnie’ Dahlia and a few little ‘Oklahoma Mix’ Zinnias plus some beautiful filler flowers. We are growing pesticide/herbicide free flowers and mulching with natural materials like wool from our sheep farm. 🐑 I hope to have enough flowers to sell some bouquets 💐 soon and thoughout August and hopefully September as well. Let me know if you’d be interested in any 😀 I’m planning on planting a cover crop to start improving soil health and start growing flowers in a regenerative and even more environmentally friendly way. No black plastic tarps for w**d control here. So no microplastics leaching into the soil and into our waterways. ✌️

Some apples have dropped! Once again, these have had no care but I think they are still pretty neat in spite of their imperfections. 🍎 🍏 These are from a full size apple tree. From word of mouth, Barb Fox, says that some apples may be Sheep’s Nose apples. Here’s what newenglandapples.org says about the variety: “Sheep's Nose, also known as Black Gilliflower, may not be a particularly good fresh-eating apple, but it purees into a tasty, smooth sauce. It is a handsome, dark-colored apple, tall and ribbed, and, as its name implies, it has a crown like a sheep's nose. It is a long-storing apple that ripens September to October.”

🍏 Taking care of (apple) business!
Our farm has a small orchard with apples, pears, peaches and persimmons.
🍏 Over the next few years we are hoping to steward the orchard to help it flourish! Here, Betsy and I are removing apples from clusters so that there is only 1 apple at each cluster spot.
🍏We are looking forward to spraying a protective oil on the trees next spring and grafting our old, full size apple trees onto dwarf root stock. That way our heritage apples (varieties unknown) can live on in a more manageable form.

One last and BIG Thank You goes to the Wyatt Merchant Group for buying Betsy’s lamb at the 4-H auction! 🍀 🐑 With buyers like you, the children are learning money sense and are learning about being generous as well! Betsy’s money earned from the auction will go back into her 4-H projects for next year as she expands her flock. So with a ripple effect, your generosity continues and the ways Betsy can earn and give multiply! Thank you for your support of Betsy and many more in our community. You are truly appreciated.

The entire family would like to give a big thank you to everyone that has helped us out in some way with our sheep. We so appreciate all the help we’ve had over this past year!
🐑 Thank you to our neighbors: Jason and Kate Fischer, Nick and Stacy Miller, Alan and Peg Marker and Wanda Schmeltz for helping us watch over and care for the sheep at the farm and at the fair.
🐑 Thank you to Wanda Schmeltz again and the excellent vets at Dr. Weldy’s for your skilful hands and knowledge when providing care.
🐑 Thank you to our breeders, Scott Marker and Brian McCarty. Without you, Betsy wouldn’t have a 4-H project and we wouldn’t have such a great start to our herd! We look forward to continuing our friendship with you. We appreciate your guidance, thank you!
🐑 Thank you to our family and friends for your support of Betsy and our sheep. Thank you to our parents Rob and Becky Sheets and Barb Fox. Thank you to Ethan Baker for his help on the farm. Thank you to Cheryl and Tina Mast for being steadfast cheerleaders at the fair.
🐑 Thank you to the Sheep Club. We appreciate your help and guidance! Thanks to Sandy Kleine and Mike Palmer for their leadership. The sheep barn is a friendly place to be and there are many more people we are thankful for in the barn!
🐑 This is quite the list and even so we haven’t named them all! We are filled with gratitude for those listed and those not that have impacted our lives this year! We are thankful to the many prayer warriors that have covered Betsy, our family and the sheep in prayers! God is good!

We are so proud of all the hard work Betsy put into her sheep project this year! She showed her 5 lambs well and even got a first place ribbon this year with her white face commercial. I’m amazed at what Betsy is capable of and how much she’s learned these past 3 years of raising sheep! 🐑 Great job, Betsy!!!

Betsy and Carter did garden projects for 4-H and mini 4-H. You’re looking at reserve champion for division 1 Plate of 3! The rhubarb is like a family heirloom here on the farmstead. Andy’s dad planted it over 20 years ago. It’s a Victoria Rhubarb and a mostly green sub type.

This is our first year for growing kale (Dwarf Blue Curled Kale) and chard (Rainbow Swiss Chard). We couldn’t be happier with the Kale and Chard! We are in the process of planning to relocate our rhubarb as it wasn’t a very productive year for it and we want to have Grandpa Mark’s famous rhubarb strawberry🍓 crisp! It’s been fun getting to learn more about rhubarb, chard and kale! If you have any questions about them, I’d be happy to help answer them!

Rainbow 🌈 Swiss Chard 🥬 from the garden was growing so nicely! I washed it, removed the leaves from the stems and chopped up the stems. They went in the skillet with the onion and olive oil and garlic. Then a giant amount of chard leaves were added along with fresh lemon 🍋 juice. Leaves cooked down to almost nothing! Well, it was good but after pairing it with tuna on toast it was excellent!!

Dwarf Curled Kale 🥬 straight from the garden. After removing the stems, rinsing and massaging it, I made a kale salad. The type of “salad” that resembles broccoli salad. So, this is a kale salad for people that don’t know they like kale….yet! 😃
