Established 2014 Randy and Allison started this journey later in life than most people consider starting a farm! Welcome to our farming/homesteading journey.
We have many plans for the homestead/farm - it is a daily process. From raising chickens and ducks for eggs and meat to gardening, goats, pigs and hopefully so much more. Be sure to check out http://ziegenvinehomestead.blogspot.com/ for more stories about our journey.

Finally!!! A loaf of sourdough I am really happy with!! Yay!
Hmmmm. Trying to make two different recipes tonight. Well- won’t be baking them until tomorrows. Any wagers on if they will be bricks?
Not perfect but 100x better than the 2 bricks I made over the weekend.
After recently having my nails professionally done for our daughters wedding and finally getting the acrylic nails off- I’m thinking I prefer the blu-kote nails!!!
New video up on YouTube.

Yesterday we said “until we meet again” to the most amazing farm partner ever. Gunner was not just a dog- he was our family and protector. He taught us about love in ways we didn’t know existed and we will miss him every day. His physical body is buried by the big maple tree and know his spirit will continue to watch over all of us for years to come. Rest In Peace Gunner- we love you forever. 💔💔
Hopefully you find this (very) short video visually appealing and pleasant to listen to!
We started making goat milk soap on the farm in 2017. Here is a peak behind the curtain with a quick glimpse into the process. There really is a lot more t...

Be on the lookout for the Spotted Lantern Fly and be prepared with what do if you come across any!
Produced in 2022 to raise awareness of the Spotted Lanternfly.
If you have time during the week or over the weekend between now and Nov 6th- make sure you book a trail ride with Mountain Rose Farm!!!
The fall weather has been perfect for a horseback trail ride and you don’t want to miss the opportunity before the colder weather sets in!!!
Harvest season on the homestead…
This week around the farm…. Temperatures dropped and things are looking (and feeling) like Autumn!!!
Big shout out to Dana Elliott of Elliotts Construction/Excavation/Lawn care for repairing our logging trail after we received 3 inches of rain in an hour back on August 22nd!
Finished the Formic Pro Mite treatment just in time for me to open the hive on this beautiful fall day. Hive is buttoned up for the colder temps coming this week. Having 2 hives now- double the work! Hoping these ladies survive the winter!
One of the projects on the homestead- we built this off grid cabin in 2017 with wood milled from the land. You can book a farm stay through - head to our website for more details!!!
Decorative gourd season! It’s also about time to put a real sign out there by the road!!! Soon…. It’s on the project list!

Taking the Hero’s to Hives online beekeeping course by MSU and learned that bees with ragged wings are older bees. #heroestohives #msu #beekeeping #coursesforveterans #onlinecourses #michiganstateuniversity
Checking on the honeybees…. Sitting on a bucket in front of their hive one decided to check me out too…. Apparently she liked the sawdust on my flannel and flew back to the hive to tell her friends I come in peace. #bees #honeybees #farmlife #beesarelivestock #loveourfarm
Did you hear me hollering with joy today??? It’s been 5 years in the making but the outdoor kitchen concrete has been poured!!! Wooohoooo!

Fresh water for the piggies! This is Stewy- he is responsible for making bacon seeds. #farmlife #makinbacon
How smart is your goat? Cora, our herd queen and the OG, knows how to open latches and can let herself into the feed bins- so we have to put carabiners on any latches she is around. Fortunately she hasn’t taught anyone else this trick! #theOG #sheistheGOAT #goatlife #goat #herdqueen #farmlife #yogagoat #goatyoga #myflx #fingerlakesfarmcountry #steubencony
Took a peek in the hive today- didn’t move any boxes. Making sure they are still alive ✅and have plenty of honey✅. 🤞🏼🙏🏻hoping they survive their first winter in NY.
About 1.5 inches of rain today on top of the .25 inch yesterday…. Needless to say it’s been raining a lot this year….
So glad we went apple picking when we did! The Mutsu Crispin from @applesandmoore (formerly @reisingersapplecountry) are fantastic! #fingerlakesfarmcountry #applepicking #fallintheFLX. Reisinger's Apple Country
