WELCOME TO ✨Adult Summer Camp at Williams Homestead✨
Where the activities could include:
• goat yoga (good luck focusing)
• campfire dinners & questionable storytelling
• s’mores made with whatever chocolate survived the heat in the truck
• sleeping under the stars while a goose screams at 3am
• brushing your teeth in the water trough beside the livestock because ✨nature✨
• emotional support chickens available upon request
• late night greenhouse talks while feeding fish
• one free mosquito bite souvenir included with admission

Honestly this started as a joke after seeing one of those “planting class summer camp” posts… but now I’m convinced this would actually be the best time ever 😂

So if hanging out on a chaotic homestead, eating by the fire, camping, laughing till your stomach hurts, and pretending we all don’t have responsibilities sounds fun… we are now accepting friendship applications 🏕️🐐🔥

Must be okay with dirt, animal hair, random farm emergencies, and Kevin the rooster potentially choosing violence.

Today we managed to get a bunch of things planted in the garden 🪏🌱 Every single year I say I’m going to cut back… and honestly I really did on tomatoes this year 😂 But somehow I still have over 100 tomato plants I’ve been trying to sell, and if nobody comes to get them they’re probably ending up in the garden too.

We’re also planning another garden this year just for the bigger stuff like pumpkins, watermelon, cantaloupe, and a few different squash varieties. Today we planted asparagus beans (they’re like a green bean/asparagus mix and I’m SO excited to try them), sweet potatoes, okra, Brussels sprouts… I think? 😂 The label disappeared. We also planted peppers — a bunch of different kinds with still more to add — cucumbers, trombone squash, and more.

Already growing in the ground we’ve got birdhouse gourds, onions, garlic, potatoes, peas, and asparagus! Every year this place grows a little bigger and somehow a little crazier, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything 🌿🐝🚜

Turkey Girl and her babies. They are the sweetest.

Turkey Girl and her poults are seriously the sweetest thing. 🥹 I was so worried when we got home late last night that I was going to have to search the whole property for them, but she had every single baby accounted for and tucked herself right back into the stall I’ve been brooding them in. Watching first-time moms figure it all out is honestly one of my favorite parts of homestead life. 🦃✨

The first guinea of the season has officially hatched and I’m already obsessed. 🥹 I have two incubators in my room and heard tiny little peeps from my bed tonight. There is just something about baby guineas… they are the cutest little birds ever — until they grow up and turn into loud prehistoric dinosaur creatures running around the farm. 😂🦖

I have off heat Buffs available if anyone is interested 😂 ALL buffs. Parents are Kevin and Karen… so honestly it’s a gamble on personalities. Hopefully they take after their mom and not their emotionally unstable father who chooses violence daily.

The good news? Kevin and Karen are pretty lousy parents, so we raised these babies ourselves 😂 They’ll already eat out of your hand and seem to be on the right track with minimal emotional damage from their attention-seeking mother and their toxic dad. 🐥
$15 Each. I have pretty good idea who is a rooster and who isn’t but I cannot 100% guarantee.

The goslings went for their very first swim today with mommy and daddy 🥹💛
It’s been a long time since mama has even wanted to go near the pond. She’s been tucked away in the stall and staying out front of the barn, away from the rest of the flock, raising her babies with just daddy gooser by her side.

But today… she was ready. And watching those little fluff balls hit the water for the first time with both of them right there was just the sweetest thing. 🪿✨
