Well it would seem that one of my fall chicks has finally decided that she will begin laying eggs. Her eggs have been this beautiful greenish blue color since she started laying a couple of weeks ago. This year we did choose to start over with basically a new flock of chickens we only held back one of the older hens to help teach the younger chicks how to chicken. I am beginning to dream of the angel food cakes…
I thought it might be time to formally introduce the two newest members of our farm! Olaf and Sven had heard about the awesome yoga classes we offer and they both thought that some yoga would help with their anger management problems. Of course we welcomed these lovely but spicey boys with open arms and hands full of cookies. It’s been about 2 months I think that they have been here and they are doing great! We figured out what…
We been busy doing farm improvements here. Last year we started building a gravel road that goes to the barnyard and it’s coming along so nicely! This will be so helpful for yoga this summer as it will provide extra parking as well as making it easier to get hay to the barn.
This cat is equal parts lovable and evil at the same time. He loves being pets, drools when he purrs and will turn you leg into hamburger while kneading as you pet him. At the same time he will jump out of nowhere and latch onto you like a tree with not a care in the world that your skin is not in fact made of bark. He also enjoys dumping the poop form EVERY SINGLE TIME right before of…
I was ground driving our miniature horse this morning I took this opportunity to think about all the things I accomplished this year and what next year will look like for our farm.

This was a new adventure for me as she is trained predominately as a driving horse and not a riding horse but I was super…

We have reached mid January also known as half way to cabin fever crazy can’t wait until spring time. As I aimlessly scroll through Facebook and see all my fellow sheep farmers have started lambing my farming soul gets itchy. Much to my ewes dismay I start staring at them. The staring is usually followed…
My cats are pretty good mousers which I normally think is excellent, today not so much. I knew he had one cornered and he normally eats them. What made today different is he had in fact just eaten breakfast so wasn’t super hungry. I heard quite a bit of ruckus coming from the kitchen followed by the patter of feet’s running towards the living room. Now if I was more awake I would have realized what was coming I however…
Moving is stressful and doing it with a farm full of animals and a baby is even more difficult. We are however on the home stretch of this whole process. Our house has sold and so we are just waiting on a closing date at this point. We have not yet found a new farm to go to yet which is stressful but I have faith that it will all work out. I have figured out mostly where all of…
Well we are still here, perhaps a bit chilly but we are here. Our farm has been covered in a deep blanket… I mean smothered by a layer of snow. Normally I am all for branches covered in a liberty layer of white and a clean fresh snow to make fresh footprints in however not now.
