Friends, with all the hoopla last year about the price and availability of eggs, I decided to get a bunch of hens and offer eggs to a limited number of people. These hens are pastured, which means, unlike commercial hens, they spend most of their time outside, walking on soil, foraging for insects and seeds. Outside = vulnerable, and every Coopers Hawk, Red Tail Hawk, Bald Eagle, Great Horned Owl, raccoon, and mink knows where they are, thus the $1200 netting over the 2000 square foot yard.
Like everywhere other than the US, we don’t refrigerate our eggs. When an egg leaves the hen, it is covered with a “bloom” that prohibits bacteria from going through the shell for ninety days. So the eggs I’m offering are unwashed, unrefrigerated, and delicious, laid by happy hens in a natural environment. Price is $6 a dozen if you come to the farm to pick up. Price is $7 a dozen delivered to one location in northern Kentucky, minimum three dozen. If you don’t eat three dozen eggs in ninety days, you’re not eating enough eggs! 😉
Contact me through Messenger if you have questions. Thank you.

Finally found one of the tomato hornworms ravaging my 74-foot tomato crop. They’re hard to find because they are the exact same color as a tomato plant. They’re easier to find after a parasitic wasp has laid eggs on them.

I’ve killed five of these spotted lanternflies in the past two weeks, here in northern Kentucky.

I’ve been growing hard neck garlic for fifteen years, mostly because I like having lots of scapes for pesto, but I’m always disappointed by how much of it rots while stored in the basement. I learned last year that soft neck stores better than hard neck, so I purchased some soft neck seed garlic and planted it last fall. It also matures sooner than hard neck. We just ‘pulled’ the soft neck. It will go to a breezy, shady shed to cure for a month or so.
