Update. We recently recertified our flock and are one of only 6 Illinois backyard breeders certified AI clean. We are pausing hatching season until fall, out of stock of started pullets and point of lay pullets but still have around 100 juvenile pullets off heat.

Reminder: You can find us on Wed. mornings at the Marion Farmers Market but all farm visits are by appointment only.

Alright y’all… I need to know 👀👇
If you had 8 acres of overgrown woods absolutely CHOKED OUT with bush honeysuckle, vine honeysuckle, and a straight-up multiflora rose apocalypse…
👉 how are you clearing it??
Chainsaw & burn pile? 🔥
Forestry mulcher? 💸
Chemicals & patience? 🧪
Or are you like me and thinking outside the box🐐🐖😈
We’re talking thorns that fight back, vines trying to clothesline you, and honeysuckle so thick it’s basically paying property taxes at this point.
Drop your method below ⬇️
Bonus points if it doesn’t involve crying in the woods or selling a kidney to rent equipment 😂
👀 Stick around… tonight I’m posting a video on how we are tackling the project.
