Calving Update

A couple weeks ago, Lily went into labor. We were extremely excited at the start but our excitement soon turned to worry. She ended up having a complicated delivery and despite all of our efforts the calf passed away shortly after being born. Needless to say, we were crushed by losing the calf but it was nothing compared to how Lily reacted.

We were fortunate enough to find a day-old bull calf within just a few hours and brought him into the barn. Lily immediately perked up and began calling for him. She adopted the new calf right away and has been a great mom to him ever since.

Unfortunately, the stress of the delivery and other factors led to Lily getting sick. She freshened with both milk fever and mastitis. We know Lily well enough to be able to catch both illnesses early and spent the first week treating her in every way that we could. I’m happy to report that she made a full recovery.

I want to extend our deepest thanks to family, friends, neighbors, local farmers, Lily’s former owner, and Leading Edge Vet. All of whom got her (and us) safely through the labor, delivery, and following sickness.

Here are some photos of Lily and her new calf, “Mr. Nibbles”.

Harvesting herbs today. Basil, anise hyssop, lemon balm and oregano are hung up to dry. Parsley and oregano have been turned into a chimichurri sauce that we will freeze in portions to use over the winter.

Is anyone interested in red ball Dahlia tubers? I am digging today and have far more than I am interested in storing.

It’s a busy day here on the farm. Garrick is working on putting the house back together after our roofing project this past week.

I’m harvesting flowers and veggies for the last market of the season (tomorrow at Perlicks). I’m also finally getting around to labeling the dahlias before they frost and I can’t tell them apart. I’ve also gotten started on seed saving for the year. Better late than never!

This round of seed saving includes Sugar Pie Pumpkins, Straight 8 and Silver Slicer Cucumbers, and Abe Lincoln and Veto tomatoes.

I am especially excited to save the seeds from our Veto plants. These were given to us as plant starts this year and I haven’t been able to find a place to source seeds for them. They work great as a paste tomato and I found them to have a great classic tomato flavor. They are larger than Romas and remind me of San Marzanos in their size and shape, although they tend to keep a point on the blossom end.

I made sure to isolate blossoms this spring to make sure I could save seeds reliably this fall. Big thanks to Kim for gifting us the Veto plant starts this spring!

We weren’t going to do much canning this year but Garrick (a pizza based life-form) noticed the marinara is running low in the pantry…..

So today is pizza sauce day here at Ripley Acres! We spent the last couple days roasting tomatoes for this project. We should end up with around 40 pints.
