Red Oak View Farm

Red Oak View Farm We are building a farm featuring herbs, herbal products, & soap, while raising children and homeschooling. “Homestead. Homeschool. Herbs. Home.”

We bought a house with land in 2021 and have been working slowly on turning it into a farm. As of 2022, we are also first time parents trying to juggle parenthood and figuring out how farming works for us and our family. We are planning to focus on herbs that we can grow and sell, as well as using them in herbal products and soap that we will also make and sell. As our chil(dren) get older, we wil

l also be incorporating homeschooling! Join us on our journey as we navigate farm and family growth. As of July, 2023, we are officially a LLC.

The chickens are getting big!! They are loving the grass and bugs they get to eat in their chicken tractors. We move them in the mornings and evenings so they can get some exercise and fresh grass. These ones are being fed organic food as well. We’re getting them processed in just over 2 weeks!

Making relish is a process, but we love the taste of it! I like that it can be done in a slow process so it isn’t stressful and allows my back the breaks it needs (since we don’t have a kitchen table + chairs to sit at while cutting things). This batch was almost 4x the Ball Blue Book recipe and the All-American canner had to run twice to process all 28 pints! I even used our Wüsthof knife to dice the onions.

Braved the heat last night to harvest some zucchini, radishes, and small peppers! Decided we needed some updated pictures of the garden. Our tomatoes are trellised and about 5 feet tall, half the corn is 6 feet, and our zucchini plants are about 4 feet across! Cucumbers are sprawling. Bush beans look like mini bushes! Cucumbers and bush beans are flowering like crazy, so we’re hoping those start coming in after this heat wave. This is the first year we’ve successfully grown dill. Our attempt at kohlrabi is struggling!

Matt fried up some zucchini to go with our breakfast this morning.

Some of our first batch of meat chickens are enjoying our first chicken tractor! For those local to us, these will be freezer ready in early September!

Matt finished the first chicken tractor last night and moved some of the chickens into it today! They seem to really like it!
We’re feeding them organic food and will now be in chicken tractors (another 2 to build!) to eat some grass and get exercise (we will move the tractors probably twice daily) until they are made “freezer ready” near the end of August if anyone local might be interested in purchasing some!

Our chicken tractor is taking shape! We’re thinking we need to build 3 of these total.

I managed to survive the heat to harvest leaf lettuce, radishes, and some oregano. I also planted some more radishes, which our eldest assisted with. I covered the pepper plants with shade cloth in preparation for the hot weather this week! I also received a bite from an unknown bug.

Hoping to try pickling some radish!

I am not a summer person 🥵
