🐝Looking back it’s only been a little over a year but what an amazing day it has led to!🐝

We only pulled 6 frames of honey because the extractor we are using was actually built by Kevin’s late grandfather a LONG time ago (we also got books about bee keeping with it that were from the 50s) so we weren’t really sure how it would work but it actually worked pretty well. A little slow and laborious but until we are cranking out a lot of honey it works.

Hopefully very soon we’ll have some honey for sale as there is plenty more frames left to extract and still leave the ladies plenty to make it through winter.

Homestead breeding pair available.

(Could make it a trio if interested in a brindle)

Otter doe carries chocolate and dilute and possibly white and nonextension (tort)
Black buck could carry chocolate and dilute and possibly nonextension as well.

Would be excellent for someone wanting not just meat but really nice pelts.

Pm for more information

Let’s share some gardening wins!

What are you most proud of so far this year?
My tomatoes are starting to come in hot! And while this year I’m actually growing more hybrids than usual I’m most proud of my heirloom Hillbilly tomatoes (large red and yellow striped in the picture)

I bought a few tomatoe plants of this variety from a local nursery before we even moved into our house. I up potted them multiple times and moved them here once we officially closed and started working on the garden immediately. Since then I’ve saved seeds every year to plant next year. 4 years of growing them now and they will always have a special place in my heart.

Send help! I’m becoming overrun with tromboncino squash.

If anyone has any unique ways to eat or prepare these (or any zucchini) please let me know in the comments. I just froze and dehydrated 8 of them on Saturday.

I have this brood doe available;

Harengon’s Elvira
Black Senior Doe
Born 10/18/2025

Sired by Cabes Ron (broken chocolate) and out of Harengon’s Snow (white)

This doe is proven. She does carry white, chocolate and proved to carry steel. Has some scattered white hairs but minimal. Lovely texture and density to her coat. She is out of show condition as she raised a litter this summer!

I’ll get weight and feet pics this afternoon.

Located in Orange, VA

I never posted about this but I picked up this little doe (and her weathered brother buddy) a few months back from Waterloo Pond Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goats.

Waterloo Pond Give My Luv2Rose “Rosie” has been a great addition to the herd. Not only is she a complete sweetheart (which I’m hoping will make milk stand training easier) but she comes from great lines and is absolutely gorgeous! She’s still young but I’m very excited to get her bred when the time comes.

Some young rabbits I’m enjoying watching mature ❤️

For the first time in what feels like a really long time I actually have a handful of young rabbits I’m very excited to watch grow. Toplines continue to be a very looooong work in progress but I’m just happy to see some things that look a bit more put together and are breedings that went right. They made it through the week long heat wave and still look like this so I’m hoping that also means strong health genetics to make it through VA summers.
