Los Pollitos Family Farm

Thank you to everyone who reached out yesterday while we were looking for Sheldon 🐢! He escaped Friday night through the back of our property as the sun was setting. He walked along the fence until he found a weak spot and pushed his way through. He walked a mile away and thanks to Facebook he was found!

Sheldon is a bulldozer and goes where he wants! Which brings me to a long overdue farm update. After 5 years of free ranging 200 plus birds we decided to downsize to less than 30 birds and coop them up!

Swipe right to see the aftermath! There was p**p and eggs everywhere! I have been so excited to just collect eggs from one area! Unfortunately there was someone that wasn’t so excited about this new arrangement. Sheldon!!!

Like I mentioned before he is a bulldozer and goes where he wants. The fence you see in these pictures is no longer nice and neat. It is bent and we barricaded the bottom with random farm things like ladders and a canoe.

Well, after we had thought Sheldon was lost forever when he showed interest in going into the chicken coop Jacob just let him in. He slept there last night and has made it clear who is in charge. 🤷🏻‍♀️

UPDATE: He has been found thanks to Facebook!! Thanks to everyone who was looking!

Our beloved Sheldon got out last night! If you are near 82nd Ct. in Chiefland please be on the lookout. He really needs a heat lamp with this cold weather. Call/Text 941-626-0372

Look at all the goodies we picked up from Rachel Taillon farm stand!! A bread board, sheep soap, skein of sheep wool, matching mother daughter shirts and a bag! If you all remember we had their Florida cracker sheep with us for a bit while they got settled in Ny so ofcourse we had to get some of their yarn. If you are in the Altamont, NY area please make sure to stop by their stand ! They are a truly amazing family!!

We visited friends in New York for the first time and had the most amazing time! So thankful our love of farm life brought us together when they lived in Florida. Now we have the best excuse for vacation in NY. Cannot wait to be back! The views were absolutely breathtaking and our friends treated us like family. 🥹🥰

We did some more digging this weekend and look what was found….

More pottery!!! We are stoked at this find and hoping to put all the pieces together one day and make a complete bowl! Thank you to our new friends for finding these pieces for us!! Now Jacob has a good little collection going.

So far we have had 5 ppl experienced in digging come out, on top of myself, husband and kids digging for about 10 hours total over the course of a few days and found what you see. Native campsites are usually pretty saturated with flint and it doesn’t appear like our property has them like that so maybe just some Natives coming through to hunt on our property and they stayed a few nights? Either way still super cool to think about.

It’s def hard work to hand dig or excavate and sift. But it kinda feels like you are looking for gold and it keeps you motivated haha. It is wild to think that it has been 1000 years plus since human hands touched these pieces! So grateful for the natives that came before us!

If you don’t want to dig up your property you can still find fossils or artifacts. All you have to do is go outside and look around. Especially after a good rain or if a tree has fallen down where the roots have been.

We plan to dig some more in the near future and will keep everyone posted on our finds!

Today’s finds on our property here in Chiefland … more pottery! I was out there right after church digging away for probably 2 hours. Jacob dug for 5 mins 🤣 this afternoon and found a good chunk of pottery! Ya’ll we are so excited to have found this new hobby. More family time outside is always a win win! Cannot wait to see what else we find!

Do you all remember that arrowhead Jacob found on our property?! Well today we hosted a “Pay dig” that’s where you pay to dig for artifacts. Scroll right to see what they found! How amazing is it to think about the natives of this land?!!

So what did they find today?! They found pottery!!!

We are thinking about giving others the opportunity to come dig too so if this peaks your interest send us a message.

Or even if you have little boys or cows that just need to play in some dirt! They will be entertained for HOURS 🤣

Dakota patiently waiting her turn for grain 🥰.

Gonna be totally honest normally Jade feeds the cows their grain and has them trained so I was proud of myself for doing it this evening! 🤣 Hoping this time next year we will be adding milking to the evening chores! We will be preg testing Dakota soon and will keep everyone posted!
