We have been very busy on the farm, new chickens arrived so we have adults, teenagers, and tots! They are a lot of work, but it is fun to see them grow and play. Sometimes I go sit in the chicken coop and watch them scratch, eat, and play they are very relaxing and humours to watch! We are building chicken tractors because these babies are growing fast! Everyone ready for processing day? I am kind of excited and we have Andrew who is going to help us quarter and cut up our chickens (we might get lucky and he'll give us all a demonstration!)
We are planning for the processing day event which should be fun! Lots of help and lots of learning!
The garden is doing great! We have 3 varieties of squash available and one more is about to be ready! Zucchini is looking good and going fast! We have some cabbage and spinach and Swiss chard still available and the Roma tomatoes should be ready any day now! Banana Peppers are ready too, boy don't they look good! We have pulled up all the lettuce and replanted more crops to follow! OH and the egg plant has the most beautiful purple flowers on it when you come by the farm stop and take a look!
We have been picking lately and got peaches, strawberries, and blueberries so I've been making jam and jam and did i mention jam? It is good and fresh! When you come to the farm remind me and I'll let you know what is still available!
We have been drying up Dixie so she can have her new calf soon, and she is not happy about it, but she will be a good momma, she always is! Let's all cross our fingers for a boy, can you say "Beef: it's whats for dinner"
Alice is having her dance recital this weekend so we will be busy fixing hair, dressing up, and running to rehearsal and performances! We are excited and can't wait to see her shine.
