Our laying hens are able to free range all day for a balanced, natural diet ... And sometimes they even get brought into the house to have special snack and a hug. 🐔🤗

managed to squeeze in some work during nap time and suddenly don’t feel as far behind this season… and also grateful for being behind cause I haven’t had to battle this spring weather as all of my plant babies are still inside under the lights. fingers crossed for no more frost

Nature is incredible. This morning we caught one of our many praying mantis egg cases hatching and of course my 4 boys “aw look how cute the babies are”

Not your typical farm content, but please take a moment and help us wish the happiest of birthdays to this lovely soul who is all the woman power behind Hardy Hills. 🥳

She's always gorgeous 😍, but last week she scrubbed the dirt off her hands and cheeks and traded out the muddy boots to pose for some stunning photos by @mcagley right here at the farm. And yes - The Hardy family is growing, and our 4 boys are due to receive a special gift this winter.

Love.♥️
... To see it.

Before we took on this farm life, I don't think either of us had ever seen praying mantises so big. They're now a relatively common and very welcome sight in our garden, but this is the first time seeing a mantis with a baby bump. Happy to have them.

Happy Friday, all!

some days the garden captures my whole mood 🥰 And I am loving the colors that are starting to pop

I captured a September swarm at my brother's place just outside of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and relocated them to our farm in Maryland this weekend. Today I moved them from the swarm trap box into a five frame nuc box. I gave them a full frame of drawn comb and a 1 gallon frame feeder to give these girls as much of a head start as I can since they have limited time to gather the goods for winter.

For the first time, today I happened upon a swarm on my own. 🐝🐝

If you see something like this, 1) don't be afraid of it. 2) don't spray it! 3) Call me (or your local beekeeper), and I will happily come and give them a safe, new home.

Honeybees will swarm naturally, especially this time of year when food sources are plentiful and the population within the colony is booming. Often they will just run out of space. Usually on a warm, sunny day like today, about half the colony will "swarm" and leave the home colony with the queen. Those that remain at home will rear a new queen daughter. The swarm will often settle on a tree branch, fence, or wall in a large cluster with the queen at the center. Scouts will head out looking for a new home.

I happened upon this swarm while they were still very much a cloud in the air at a 4 way stop intersection while returning from an errand. I was so afraid of losing them that I called @bees_with_brokeback to bring me a nuc box and frames while I kept an eye on where they went 😂. As luck would have it they ended up settling right there on site on a branch just three feet off the ground which made recovery super easy. They are now home at Hardy Hills and ready to get to work.

We love a good loaf of fresh bread, and nothing is better than homemade! The Hardy kitchen puts out lots of sourdoughs and specializes in traditional Pascha (easter bread).

Our happy chickens and ducks are free range foragers. "Little Foot" the barred rock rooster and "Rocky" the trusty english shepherd are the security detail for the flock.
