Wrap'n at the Farm

Not a great summer for haying, but this winter we bought a bale wrapper. Wrapping bales do not have to be dry and with this summer's weather it is the only reason we have put up any hay.
Turn on your speakers!!

What a Great Day!!

We had a very successful first Open Farm Day. Over 40 folks stopped by for a fried chicken, homemade ice cream and farm tours. I'm not sure who had more fun, the kids, the adults or the animals.

OPEN FARM DAY

On Saturday June 27th we will be hosting an OPEN FARM DAY, from 10 am - 2 pm.

If you live in or near Waterville and are a farmer or crafter and would like to let folks know what you offer at our farm day, call us.

Everyone is out to pasture

The pigs are happier than Pigs in .... well you get the picture.






It has been a tough week on the farm, but looking at all we have to be grateful for makes it much easier to suck it up and keep rolling.

We loss two calves and a heifer this week plus a number chicks died. Sometimes we might glorify life on the farm through this blog and with friends and family, but the reality is farm life is hard. We love our animals and hate to see then go before their time. You can do everything right and still death will come to remind you that nature is stronger than any medicine. Weeks like this makes us celebrate the new calves' births with a bit more joy and remember that everything happens for a reason.

Sorry about the gloomy post, but it is important that folks know that a farm is more than just a petting zoo. Hope you enjoy the video.

Two More

Meet Fee and Freefall, Twins born on Sunday May 3rd. Fee is the black and white girl and Freefall is the Moorit Boy, who will have horns.

With two sets of healthy twins we are done with lambing for the season. We will keep all three girls, but Freefall will be for sale later this summer.

Although the grass is growing we still need more pasture and Krys has been building fence and getting the old fence ready. Our Animal numbers are growing and the more mouths the more feed.

The first batch of meat bird chicks will arrive next week and if all goes well the piglets will be on pasture by May 17th.

If you want to see all the animals just give us a call.

Piglets and Lambs

The Piglets arrived last weekend and these two lambs were born yesterday afternoon. They are about 2 hours old in this photo. If the weather stays nice the piglets should be out in pasture in a couple weeks. We are very excited about the Lambs, that we named Eden(brown) and Evyl(black) both girls. Their mother, Eve is doing well and gave birth without assistance. We hope to have Flash lamb by the end of the week.
