Wow Hello Everybody!!
sorry it’s been awhile since We have posted. Life gets crazy busy with all these animals and so many things to forage and harvest in the spring! we have we been busy busy as bees this spring and summer!! here are some photos, of the things we are learning or things we are doing right now. This year we required a couple new skills. We learned to make sourdough bread this year, (steep learning curve for me)and it’s not quite mastered yet. We learned to make fruit wines, it’s been fun learning. Rhubarb wine first and maybe Dandelion next, then some peach maybe!
we had four new baby calves born this spring, one litter of thirteen piglets and another litter on the way, we have expanded our gardens and will have lots of fresh vegetables for sale along with our own sweet corn this year!
we have grown some really great garlic and are excited about how great this years garlic looks growing! we will be pulling it up and drying the bulbs in July, So please come see us for fresh farm grown garlic in august!! we are gardening and weeding in the evenings when it’s cooler. Soon we begin harvesting local fruits to make all the fruit jams and jellies. First to duttons for strawberries, black raspberries, and red raspberries, and then onto green moutain orchards for the rest of the fruit! currants, peaches, plums and apples and fabulous cider I use in my apple cider jelly. After we are done jammin’ then we are off to use the lovely all american pressure canner we were gifted. We are so excited for this new adventure into pressure canning this summer. Wish me luck!
We are also bottle feeding a young red angus calf on the lawn at the farm as her mama cow did not mother her or feed her, we started feeding her by hand. Stormy is her name and she will come running if you have a warm milk bottle.
we also saw three piglets from Spottie’s litter that were not getting enough milk fast enough, so we took three weak smaller ones and began hand feeding so now three little piglets in the living room 🤭 They are thriving!! and loud. 🤪
We are having more meat processed this week so more great Angus beef and Heritage pork will be here soon!
please come visit the farm and hold a baby pig or maybe pet a baby cow. You can feed the ducks some snacks or feed our mini pig Brownie a treat, she loves berries. The horses( Melody & Tennyson) are rescues and they love apple slices, and just some pats and a visit. They have been buggy horses before retiring to relax at our farm and live out their life here. Both horses live attention.
You can even grab stuff for dinner while you visit. angus beef, heritage pork, pesto, hummus, jams and jellies, pickles and sometimes candy.
We love to share the farm and the land with everyone . It’s a beautiful place.. come say Hi ! we both look forward to meeting you!
