The Schoolhouse Farm

We have so many new babies on the farm this summer! First we got 5 frizzle chickens but we couldn’t stop there so we came home with the 4 blue palm turkeys they had for sale too 😉. We also have 5 chicks that we will co-parent with a friend who hatched them. Our newest additions are two tiny Old English bantams that we hatched in the incubator 🐣

The native wildflower garden is popping up! The flax is already starting to bloom. It looks much thicker than last year so we should have some great looking blooms soon 🌻

Buy one get one free seeds at Rural King! We picked up the basics but are always searching for interesting plants 🌱. It looks like we’ll have another amazing year in the pumpkin patches! 🎃 Lettuces and greens are going in large containers this year to help with weeds. Our fermented hot sauce was a huge hit so I still need a few more varieties of peppers to get that going again 🌶️.

With chicken egg production in full swing and our first duck egg of the year we can finally start cooking again! Crepes with farm eggs for breakfast were perfect. The first attempt at sourdough boules from our sourdough starter named Myrtle were also a huge success!

It’s February but you would think it’s spring already. A few hens have started to lay and everyone is out soaking in the sun.

The first egg of 2024! Fingers crossed 🤞 for a bountiful egg laying season! 🥚

The ducks were the only ones excited for the snow ❄️. Everyone else hunkered down somewhere dry!

It’s been pretty quiet around here with the mild winter. The ducks are still enjoying pool parties and the geese are happy there’s still some grass to munch on in the yard. Their new and improved fully insulated coop has been keeping it 40+ degrees inside regardless of the outside temperature.

Does anyone need milkweed seeds for their butterfly garden? I have lots of seed pods available! 🦋

I don’t even know if I can eat this fermented hot sauce I made with all the leftover peppers in the garden! ☠️☠️☠️ 🔥 🔥🔥

My jalapeño wants to fight! We picked the most amazing, huge green tomatoes to fry. The rest of the tomatoes and peppers got picked for the season too. A variety of peppers went into the fermenting crock for hot sauce!
