The Poore Farm

The Poore Farm A small family farm with big goals. It's the current home of a large flock of laying hens and a tree stump full of honey bees.

The Poore Farm sits on the outskirts of the inner Bluegrass in the Salt River watershed, atop a hill overlooking a beautiful Mercer County valley. And it's the future home of....well, whatever we can grow. Check in from time to time and we'll let you know what's growing on The Poore Farm.

Food companies advertise that their hens get vegetarian diets, but chickens are omnivores, and their nutrition depends on proteins often unavailable in vegetarian sources.

Everything's hopping on the farm. Emery moved the egg mobile to a new field with steering help from one of the hens. The chickens checked out their new homemade, automatic waterer and scoured over a new (to them) field, scratching and kicking over clods of dirt looking for emerging bugs and worms and snails. Everybody loves spring.

I had been feeling like a big man with my four-wheel-drive truck, charging up our farm hill like it was nothing. But yesterday's and today's winds left two- and three-foot snow drifts, and even the new truck was no match for THE HILL. I felt like Charlie Brown must have felt when he faced the kite-eating tree, or when he trusted Lucy to hold the football. We got so close to the top ....and then started sliding down. Today, Emery and I walked the quarter mile to the back of the farm to feed and water the animals. But we will be back to conquer The Hill. Oh, yes, we will be back.
