Bard Owl Farm

I can't believe it's that time of year again: lambing season, where I obsessively check the Lamb Cams every 30 seconds or so. 🤣🐑💓

I'm so excited to be a partner farm for the first Kitsap Farm Tour on August 13th! Come visit me just down the road at the lovely Courter Country Farm from 10-4.

We are excited to have Courter Country Farm as one of our hosts this year for farm tour! They are an organic flower farm and event venue in Poulsbo, WA. They offer getaways in one of their AirBnb's to relax and recharge in nature while being minutes from town. This farm has lots to see, including animal experience, onsite play area and more. Their farm will be open to the public from 10am - 4pm on August 13th. Here is a sneak peak at what you can expect to see that day:
🌼 Onsite farm store / farm products
🌼 Flower bar (build your own farm fresh flower bouquets!)
🌼 Animal Experiences: Goats, chickens, rabbits, alpacas
🌼 Kids play area
🌼 Flower Garden path/tour

Partners on site that day include Bard Owl Farm bringing their fleece with a felting activity.

Remember, all farm sites, full info about the farm tour, as well as the self-guided farm tour map can all be found at https://extension.wsu.edu/kitsap/regional-small-farms/kitsap-farm-tour/

We hope to see you out on August 13th at one…or all of the farms!

Almond is turning out to be a fantastic Farm Sheep-ervisor. She went with me to help fix a friend's tractor. Turns out she's a just like me 🚜😆

I just realized I've neglected to share little Almond's adventures lately! She's been to Tractor Supply Co. , Wilco, Poulsbo Feed and Grain, Latte On Your Way & a ton of truck rides to visit friends. She's had plenty of visitors here at the farm, too, so she's getting plenty of snuggles.

She's growing so fast & is the sweetest little house lamb imaginable. She sleeps with the rest of the gang in bed, so I have no idea how I'm gonna convince her to move into the barn eventually. 🤣🤦‍♀️

Baby Almond, Waffles, & the rest of the lambs had some visitors yesterday! Thanks for stopping by for lamb snuggles Jeremiah Swain II & Lacy Swain ❤️

You'd better get ready to bring one of these babies home, Jeremiah, or Lacy might not let you come home. 😆

Welcome to the farm, little girl! 😍

This beautiful little lady - an F3 (87.5% Valais Blacknose) - was born late last night & wraps up lambing season here at the farm.

Unfortunately, her mom rejected her, so she's my first and only bottle baby this season. Wicket thinks he has his own baby lamb & is taking his livestock guardian dog duties very seriously. 😁❤️🐑

Waffles pretty much had the best first day out ever!

06/03/2023

Waffles went on his first adventure outside the barn today! We stopped & visited friends & made some new ones at Latte On Your Way & Poulsbo Feed and Grain 😍

Waffles is an F4 (93.75%) Valais Blacknose ram lamb who was born here on the farm in April! He's one of 11 adorable little babies bouncing around the barn right now (8 Valais with at least one more who should be born any day now & 3 Wensleydales).

If you missed Waffles today but want to come say hi & snuggle some babies, message or call me to set up a farm visit! Some of this year's lambs will be looking for new farms once they're weaned, so get in touch if you want to get on the list.
