Established 2014 Randy Ziegenhagen and Allison Lavine - we are starting on this journey later in life than most people
We have many plans for the homestead/farm - it is a daily process.
(4)
From raising chickens and ducks for eggs and meat to gardening, goats, pigs and hopefully so much more. Welcome to our farming/homesteading journey. Be sure to check out http://ziegenvinehomestead.blogspot.com/ for more stories about our journey.
Operating as usual
We. don’t get snow days on the farm- animals still have to get fed and watered. We may move a little slower on mornings like this but the animals still get taken care of. So thankful for good neighbors and the town snowplows and the beautiful scenery!!!
I also put my @art.by.karla stickers all over my iPad.... #veteran #stickers #veteranlife #coastguardveteran #goatyoga #farmer #puddlepirate
This spring we bought 8 turkeys from TSC - our first experience raising turkeys.
The 1st week we lost one to natural causes. 2 additional turkeys passed due to our learning curve (learned the hard way not to keep them with the goats).
5 birds made it to freezer camp- 17lbs, 19lbs, 23lbs, 25lbs & 27lbs....
Here are 4 of the birds we passed along to friends and family- we are saving ours for Christmas.
I think in 2021 we will be raising more Turkeys! 🦃 🦃 🦃
Happy Thanksgiving!
We are
so very
thankful for you!
Exciting news!

Frosty morning here.
Happy Veteran’s Day! We welcomed Harmonica Pete back to the homestead and were able to enjoy time around a camp fire with him. Me DuPre is a WWII US Army Veteran and he was kind enough to play Semper Paratus for the Coast Guard Veterans in the group.
Spent some time with the goat herd today... enjoying warm November sun - no news, no politics, just peaceful time with the goats. #goatlife #peace #farmlife
A little bit of sunshine on this day.

I always show you the view looking toward the barn... this is the view of the other side of our Silver Maple. Love this tree! 🌳 #farmlife #lucky #blessed #farmlife #farmhouse #hardwork
We had the honor of hosting Mr Peter DuPré on the farm yesterday. A 97 year old US Army Veteran who served at the 114th Army Medical Center in England during the Battle of the Bulge. A big thank you to his daughter Mary Ann DuPré for bringing him out and introducing him to our farm. Known to many around the globe as HarmonicaPete - he is truly a joy to know and we are honored to have made his acquaintance. We hope you enjoy this video of him playing for our herd! We know our herd queen Cora was very intent on listening! ***apologies for the sound quality- it was pretty breezy out***
Feeling blessed as the weekend comes to a close. We had 2 separate groups of campers on the farm this weekend- both groups returning and bringing friend and family with them to share the farm experience. It was an incredibly wonderful weekend meeting new people and socially distancing as well. The weekend included lots of farm animal time, egg hunts, a massive bonfire Saturday night for the campers and Sunday morning a Goat Yoga with the incredible Elizabeth Moses of @crystal.heart.yoga #weekendsintheflx #flxgoatyoga #goatyoga #farmlife #flxfarmcountry #hipcampers #privateparty

Good morning- or should I say Goat Morning!!! I’ve been milking Calypso in her stall because the yearlings get out and disrupt her when she is on the milk stand (another thing on my list to take care of) thought you’d like to see the best way not to milk a goat! #hownottomilkagoat #goatmilk #goatmilksoap #goatyoga #kidsofgoatyoga #practicemakesperfect #covid19 #kids #myflx #fingerlakes #steubencony #goatyogagoats #flxgoatyoga
