Two Chicks Farmstead

06/06/2026

Last week, our broody girl Sonia hatched 2 donated eggs. Meet Stormy and Sunny, our newest chirpy floofs. Sonia is being a very good mother hen, teaching her babies how to eat, drink, and scratch. On cold days she keeps them both snug and warm under her wings, and she growls protectively whenever we approach her or her babies. They're a very sweet little family.

Our broody girl, Sonia, hatched 2 chicks last week. Their names are Stormy and Sunny, and they're the most adorable chirpy floofs ever. Sonia is being a very good Mama, teaching the babies how to scratch, eat, drink and be chickens, and keeping them both snug under her wings at night and when it's cold.

The egg stand is at 201 Thompson Rd., at the intersection of Christian Hill.
Eggs are $5/ dozen. We accept payment in cash or Venmo.

We "officially" moved into the house on Sunday. It's been an insane several days. Everything is still chaotic, and the weather definitely isn't helping matters, but we're starting to get some things accomplished. The first priority it always a comfortable place to sleep. From there, we fan out and tackle things as they come. I still need to build the cabinets for the pantry, so the kitchen is just going to be in a perpetual state of chaos for a while (and I am working on just being OK with that 😂). The sun room is cat territory for the moment. Lori has a temporary work space set up in her office and we got my desk set up. I just need to find the box that has all my sewing equipment and supplies so I can get to work making window treatments. Then I need to set up my actual office so I can work on Monday. It's just the 2 of us and Lori is working all week, so progress is slow but I'm trying to move as steadily as I can. Of course, Violet has made herself comfortable, so good for her I guess.🤪

Like so many other deadlines, February 20 came and went. Then there was snow. There are about a dozen people at the house right now scrambling to finish the painting, the final trim work, and the kitchen backsplash tile. The slate tile for the mudroom and laundry room floor came in many more pieces than it was supposed to, and the tile setter needed about 5 more tiles to finish, so a replacement box was ordered and arrived broken. So 2 more boxes were ordered, and only 1 arrived, but it was also broken. Then the second box arrived... broken. So the contractor is driving to a store in New Jersey to personally inspect and pick up yet another box of tile today. A lot of things have just kind of gone that way throughout this process. But! By the end of the weekend, we'll have most of our furniture out of storage and inside the new house. Stay tuned for the big reveal after the cleaning crew finishes their work tomorrow.

And then, we'll get to see sunrises like this in person every morning for the rest of our lives.

It's been quite a journey, but we're finally nearing the end. Right now our goal is to be finished with construction and ready to move in by February 20. There will still be a lot of work to be done even after we move, but here are a few photos so you can see how far we've come.
