It doesn’t get much better!

16 dozen eggs for our local food Pantry. We want to support our community in meaningful ways, and hope to encourage others to find ways to support their communities as well.

Everyone deserves to have access to quality food, and our local pantry works hard to alleviate food insecurity within the community. Please consider reaching out to your local food pantries, or meal programs to see what they need, and what you can do to help out.

This girl decided that a corner of a stall, tucked behind an open half door was the perfect place to nest. She avoided detection for a while, and when she was found, she had a nearly ready to hatch clutch of eggs. Yesterday they started popping out like pop corn, and today she has 11 new charges.

This is probably the only time I’ll ever catch (nearly) the whole flock in one photo. Lighting, the ever independent matriarch of the flock had other plans… 17 of 18 will have to do.

So without further ado…..

Front(ish) row, left to right: Mocha, Leaflette, Super Chunk, Sniffers

Second row: Hunk, Cookie, Milkshake, Delilah, Sunflower

Third row: Victoria, Sprout, Coraline (back to camera), Hyacinth, and Hyacinths yearling ewe

Back row: Viola, Cinnamon and Astrid

We’ve been living under a deep freeze in Upstate NY for the last month. Winter care for livestock is always a challenge….One that is only exacerbated when the temperatures stay well below freezing for extended periods of time.

Simple tasks like keeping water accessible for the becomes a game of breaking ice, draining hoses, and thawing buckets. The mudroom becomes a warming room for chickens that are struggling with the cold, and your winter clothes stay draped across a chair back, ready for the tedious task of layering up every time you leave the house.

Hay ends up everywhere, on every piece of clothes that ventures to the barn, and a shovel lives by the door to make passage to the barns and coops remotely possible.

The goal most days is to simply keep everyone happy and safe. Fed, watered, and as warm as possible in arctic temperatures is the task.

The last few days we have finally seen the temperature break the freezing mark for the first time in nearly a month. The difference in just a few degrees is palpable. Soon it will be consistently above freezing, and that’s when the catch up begins.

The dangerously cold temps have started rolling in, and it’s a race to make sure all of the animals are safe and as warm as they can be.
