Anyone have an old roaster they don’t want or need anymore?

I killed 2 old ones this year and before I go buy one, I wanted to see if I could put to use something no one needs. Want to trade?

I will give farm products for it. It doesn’t have to be pretty, just need it to work. Let me know & thanks!

I spent a few hours the other day collecting plants and flowers for my teas, tinctures, lotions and soaps. I hung out with bees and pollinators while dogs were relaxing in the sun and watching my every move. We were all in my field, the breeze welcoming, the deer flies landing on my shoulders getting to visit their afterlife quicker than they planned.

Warren was mowing with my tractor, as we are planning the gardens at my farm. We are expanding the original one, adding more native medicinal plants around the outside of the fencing. We are in a good flow, doing work projects while apart, and working well together with a magic that gives us total satisfaction. We laugh and share discoveries, make plans, share ideas and have dreams and goals that give us hope. We are both happy as we work together. There is a positive electric vibe between us that we are addicted to. It’s wonderful.

We got a lot planted in his gardens, and are focusing on the ones at my farm in the next few weeks. Along with fencing work, barn work, animal care. Life is good, accompanied by a lot of hard work. But, we are smiling through it all.

Stinging Nettle

This is one of my favorite plants that my farm gives me.

I love it, and use it fresh, cooking with it. From farm made bone broths with nettle, to crisps, breads, omelettes, side dishes and endless recipe combinations.

I also dry barrels of it for tea. I love stinging nettle tea. I add other medicinal plants and roots, lots of fresh lemon, and it’s the biggest energy booster that I have ever had, besides love.

It contains so many vitamins and minerals that benefit us, relieving inflammation, pain, helping with energy, and increasing serotonin levels, and fighting depression. Plus Calcium, magnesium, multiple vitamin B, plus Vitamin K and more.

As for the turkeys, they are with me everywhere, checking out what I am doing, and getting all up in my tasks. They are similar to my dogs, although the dogs have learned over the years to not be underfoot. The turkeys refuse to acknowledge that I don’t want them in everything I do.

Farming is all about patience and accepting everything that happens is entertainment for the farmer. If not entertained then we would be ignoring the biggest benefit for mental health when farming. It’s a gift, the goofy daily weird things that lift us up when we laugh.

Welcome to the Farm Little One!

Lambing season arrived this morning with a set of twins, and another set of small twins that changed into triplets within 5 minutes of me hugging the new arrivals.

It’s a day of appointments and errands, compacted into an already busy day. I don’t like leaving the farm for long on days like this, just in case the farmer has to help.
Plus, as you can see, Im already disheveled.
This is farm life.

Garlic Scapes

There were a lot of garlic scapes to be gathered this season. I spent a few hours going up and down the garlic rows, snapping and collecting. There were hundreds, the most we have ever had.

There are many tiny tender ones, and those will be pickled to use in dishes this summer. I plan on also pickling asparagus with garlic scapes. I can just picture a hot summer day, and some pickled eggs, asparagus and garlic scapes as a nice treat.

Later today while making products for market, I plan on pickling just a bit…the jars are ready. I will hard boil 5 dozen eggs for pickling and will also be making devils eggs.

I love this time of the year, where there is constantly a barrage of work, gathering, foraging, gardening, preserving, working all day outside with the one I love being with. I am so happy and content, loving my life, and grateful for the beauty everywhere on the farms.

For Sewickley market, Saturday, June 13, from 9-1.

Eggs from 100% free range pastured chickens. Rainbow colors, varying sizes from 20+ different breeds.

Purple & green asparagus.

Cookies for dogs. Baked fresh using farm eggs, tallow and lard, pork & beef cracklings, turnip greens, squash & other vegetables, ground livers and more delights. I have a large family of working farm dogs and they sample each and every batch with joy.

Pork. Half pigs custom cut & smoked to your specifications. I’m taking deposits on pigs that are heading to the processor in the next few weeks.

Plus, as always, there will be other unique farm gifts & products in limited amounts. If you have visited my table over the past 23 years, you know that most of the weeks, I have a surprise or two. As a woman owned farm with animals, vegetable gardens, fruit berries & trees, I don’t farm in high volume production. I can’t. So, I forage & gather, select and cut. I package, dry, freeze dry, repot, wrap & bundle and bring. It’s all what I am capable of in a given week.

The products vary with weather, seasonal changes, prolific sexual bounty, viability of heirloom seeds and financial resources.

Do you have an unused turkey roaster collecting dust on a shelf? I would love to make use of it. I have killed 2 this year🤣, both well used and past ready to be retired. If you do, let me know, I would love to gift some one inch thick pork chops, sausage, or other farm product as a trade.

Cayuga ducklings and one sneaky Pekin. The ducks are prolific this year. I have some other Cayugas that hatched a week ago. And Muscovies. Anyone need ducklings? Some have gone to new homes already, and I doubt we will run out anytime soon-I found another Cayuga on a nest. Dear lord the ducks are breeding to attempt a takeover.

*update-she’s home, on R & R. Bill was surprisingly affordable (YAY💜) Another mini procedure in 2 weeks.

Current position: at the vet with one of my Sebastopol geese-a female named Freeda.
She has an abscess, a complicated one that was above my pay grade. So, we are at the vet’s so they can make her comfortable. It was painful for her, and as soon as I had a good week and sold some extra farm products, she was a priority.
This is why I can’t have nice things, because there is always a life form here that comes before me with more important and critical needs.
I’m stressed about the cost, as she is not the only one in the lineup of “critical asap need attention”.
Hopefully it works out, where she is going to be better and I have enough to cover her procedure. She is in the back, had some spa time to soak her foot.
X-rays, then a few incisions.
Say a prayer that the vet’s office doesn’t go crazy on the bill.

That’s what Im doing in the waiting room. (Praying lol)…While saying hi to every dog that comes in! You know… because DOGS. They all need a pat, a HI and and a hug if they wish. And they love to do a good old boot sniff because I smell like Eau De Toilette-farm scented. Attractive only to dogs, my farm animals & apparently Warren-who still loves me no matter how farm stinky I get. The dude is undeniably a keeper. 💖

Oh, I have extra goslings too, if anyone is interested! It would be great to sell goslings (and muscovy ducklings) to help cover the bill. Interested? Send me a dm.

Muscovy ducklings available.
My little girl was a tad ambitious.
Although they are cute, they will need new homes.
Interested?
Send me a message.
I also have goslings available.
