Historic Eden Ranch

Had myself a helper the past couple days. Sunny didn’t miss much as she followed me around talking about 20 miles an hour as we got things done. Moved the old steer pen feeder into the new barn. Cleaned out the barn as well.

This Spring has been a busy one! Seeded apprx three or four acres in pasture and grass. Had to get the rocks off first. The 10 inches of rain in May ensured most of the seed germinated. Barn is working out awesomely as is the fencing and water troughs to rotate pastures for the first time ever! Cut seven big trees off the fence. That’s always fun. Hopefully the hay gets baled soon? Rain needs to slow down first. I think I could mow the yard blindfolded?

Week 3 of Pole Barn construction. The different work crews are all amazing. Mostly Amish! It’s really shaping up. They tiled the entire swamp around the old barn as well. Barn floor and 4 ft high walls are poured. Had a lot of excess dirt so I had them dump me nine loads around the front where I needed dirt. Hope Harry can get a skid steer?

Week 2 of the Facelift got off to a great start yesterday morning. More digging, tile in the ground, three feet of gravel?? Spider web to drain the water!! Awesome. Might have concrete this week?? Hope so! Fence guy comes tomorrow! I guess folks don’t like cows pooping in the creek?? Didn’t know that?

Week 2 of the ranch makeover. The crew is moving along nicely thanks to no rain for 32 plus days, a new State Record?? A lot of tile went in the ground today draining water away from the barns. This should look great when it’s complete!!

Day three of the barn build project. Two/three guys digging/dozing all day. Many tons of dirt moved. Top soil is about 20 inches deep so he pushed that into different piles. Another dude put 100 ton of gravel on the road. Entire project will be apprx 400 ton. That's alot of gravel!!

A major makeover at Historic Eden Ranch! Erecting a 72' x 40' Heavy Use Area Polebarn for the cows. The entire project is the barn, water well, three watering troughs and about three miles of electric fence. Just having one trough done is huge. I can now rotate pastures for the first time ever on this farm and my cows are no longer in Wills Creek! That was the goal. Weather permitting, should be done by Christmas!

Another great trip to the farm! Strung about a 1/2 mile of heavy gauge electric wire around the front half of the hayfield along Wills Creek. With the installation of a water trough this Summer, I can now actually employ rotational grazing techniques! What a concept. 22000 steps later? I'm beat. Jeannie thought I wasn't getting enough exercise so she has me wearing her Fitbit. 18000 Monday, 19500 Tuesday and todays numbers. I think I'm probably getting enough exercise!! I'm also having a lot of fun doing what I enjoy most.

It's a beautiful time of the year to visit Historic Eden Ranch! Fall is on the air! Check out the farmhouse on Airbnb or text me for the Eden rate! It's extremely peaceful. Farmhouse sleeps eight!!

Fall chores have began. 41 degrees yesterday morning on the drive here got me thinking, it could get cold pretty quick!! Still picking up trash after owning the farm for 11 yrs? Two Gator loads of asphalt dumped by some moron! I'm sewing some grass seed this evening .
