Rachel posting here 🙂 Yes, we are still here…just still not finding much time to post to social media. Tonight’s update:

My husband. This man is committed. He just came in from the garden, sweated literally soaking wet clothes, to take a shower. I hung his clothes, which literally feel like I just dipped them in the pond, on the back porch. Those little green circles? That’s the only part of his clothing that wasn’t saturated with sweat. Thank you, Derrick, for all you do to keep this homestead up and running. We love you!!

My baby making her print on the pond that some day some human will say, “Your great grandma (Dakota) caught the first fish from this pond that was dug by your great great grandfather,” 🙏🏼💗🙏🏼 Meanwhile, this gal catching the only turkey poult that survived the flooding of this past week to take to a brooder tub in the basement for now 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Note the shadow of a crouched girl over the pond in the first image 💗💗💗

We managed this weekend to get the garden prepared for the hogs to finish cleaning up for us and fertilize our soil for next year 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 That involves taking up all the w**d barriers, tomato rings, soaker hoses, pole beam supports, etc…as well as putting up hog panels around the asparagus and blackberries to keep these guys out of those. Whew!

We’ve still been absent on social media and busy bees working on utilizing everything from the garden. Tonight: roasting pepitas and pumpkin seeds from our Styrian Pumpkins and Connecticut Field Pumpkins 😍😍😍 We are ready for winter and the slower part of the year in farming. At the same time, we are hoping we don’t have much freezing weather because keeping fresh water to all the livestock when it keeps freezing is a whole thing that’s not much fun 🤣🤣🤣

From this picture, you might assume that we got worn out from hand pulling and battling w**ds this season….here’s the confirmation of any assumptions…we did 🤣 At a point, we decided to just focus on harvests left and let the rest do what it wants. It doesn’t look like the Garden of Eden like it did earlier in the season, but you have to pick your battles and prioritize tasks, right? Right. Tomatoes and beans are still coming in and pumpkins are coming on and for that we are grateful! 🙏🏼😍🙏🏼 Thank you, God, for this season’s provisions!!

Every day brings some kind of surprise(s) on the farm. Today’s episode: “Why is there a hog in the back yard by the garden?” 🤣🤣🤣 This guy wasn’t the only one out on an adventure. His lady hog was hanging out by the chicken feed wagon, but too far away for me to get a pic…

In the processing room, pickling and canning cucumbers for our fam while washing eggs for other families in between canning batches 💗 Daddy and Big Sis are in the pastures tending our livestock, Nana is with Little Sis keeping her entertained and safe. Momma is solo in the processing room at the moment. At some point, we will fire up the grill to cook our home made brats. Late dinner alert! 🤣🤣🤣

As I hurriedly combine egg baskets in preparation of washing, I hear the familar “clack”. Ugh. There’s a click of tapping eggs together, and then there’s a clack sometimes. Once you have handled and/or washed egga enough, you know that sound means an egg just cracked. It’s often not visible to the eye, but you know. When we first started this journey, the “clack” eggs went into a basket to be more intensively candled to look for that crack, to confirm that it was there before tossing the egg. Nowadays, I just know. Those “clack” eggs go into a basket for the family hogs or dogs. No sense in candling. There will be a tiny crack somewhere and it will take precious time to find it.

You know what that sound represents to me? “Bummer.” That sound potentially means a customer disappointed because we didn’t have their usual number of cartons or case or they are waiting for eggs, because those two eggs may mean we are one or two eggs short of a carton or case when supply is low like it is now. Could we sneak the “clack eggs” into cartons and still meet the demand? Sure. No one would know. But we would know. And we don’t process, prepare or sell anything to anyone that we would question even a tad to feed to our own family. Never have, never will.

I share to highlight one of the MANY benefits of knowing your farmer. Blessings to you when this post finds you!

We canned a *few* pickles this afternoon….42 quarts, to be exact, once the last batch comes out of the boil bath. We had a few green beans and okra that were ready, but not enough to do much with, so threw them in a quart jar with some sliced yellow squash. We shall see how we like the variety jar 🤣💗🤣 I think we have around 120-ish pickle jars now….I think that will tie us over until next season 🤣👍🏼🤣

Soooo….the watermelon, cantelope and honeydew are thriving as well as the black cherry tomatoes and cucumbers. We harvested over 50 cukes from the trellis between the last two days. 😳 We are pickling, pickling, pickling. If anyone wants some pickling cukes, we may be selling several soon because we have jars of pickles all over the place and likely have plenty for our family put back at this point 🤣🤣🤣
