We love Homer NY Regional Farmers Market !

It's maple syrup season! 🍁🥞 And making syrup is one of the many hats that Homer Regional Farmers Market board member, Bryn Carr wears. Bryn is the Director of nonprofit Cortland Collective Impact Initiatives, proud sponsor of the HRFM. She can be spotted at the market most weeks in her trademark overalls, where she loves to enjoy the market music and all the delicious local food. She is also the manager of Wensleydale Cottage Farm, where she produces maple syrup for the market's Cortland Harvest table. Bryn is passionate about supporting local farmers and food systems, and increasing access to fresh healthy food. She is grateful for the opportunity to serve on the HRFM board.

Want to join Bryn at the market this season? Applications are still open! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeVPsJX0LnLk8nMkyFOIw2cLRukFY8kdHGHmUdBPG6Pbb8C4w/viewform?usp=dialog

Today I was feeling frustrated at how much more difficult everything is in the weather. But this evening I enjoyed the quiet, bright evening and felt grateful to have an excuse to be outside every day.

We often get asked how to socialize our calves so that they trust humans, since they are raised in the field on their moms rather than in calf guts and bottle fed. I have found this technique, from my mentor, to be very successful. Just sit in the field with your back to them, absolutely still. Don't react to what they do or make any quick movements. Let them investigate you. By the end of this session Mini was letting me scratch her head and neck.

Apparently quail chicks are even dumber and less self-preserving than turkey poults. 🤦 We even had to revert to a heat lamp from a brooding plate because they would wander out from under it and get stuck in a corner and freeze. 🥴
