We're opening for the season this Saturday. The farm is looking good and green thanks to all this warm weather. The animals are awaiting your arrival.
We've got new lambs (Ewenice will be giving us more near the end of the month) and kids. The chicks are here, some are already 3 weeks old.
CHECK OUT THE CHICKENS
We have an incubator this year and if all goes well should have some chicks hatching next week. It is always a gamble but if we succeed I'll take some pictures as the chicks hatch and post them. (There will be a time delay as I'm not great with technology.)
Sheep Shearing
Speaking of technology, I took a video of our sheep being sheared. I currently have connections with a film grad student who is cleaning it up and editing so you can actually hear me telling you what is happening. Be on the lookout. I'll be posting it as soon as it is ready.
The strawberries and peas are doing well and may be early this year. We'll keep you posted.
See you soon

OPENING SATURDAY MAY 1st
Wow! has winter gone by fast. We're getting ready to open for the season so hopefully the warm weather will continue. Jim has already planted some peas, the earliest ever for him.
School tours are starting soon and we are busy booking now for the spring and summer.
It has been a busy winter for us. We've attended a number of workshops and conferences to sharpen our skills and make some changes on the farm. You'll see some new activities as the season progresses, ones we think you'll enjoy. April's weather will dictate their development and when they're completed.
We've made some Shepherds Pies using our own beef. They make for an easy, quick delicious meal. They'll be in our freezer section along with our other naturally raised meat.
Kids and Lambs
The sheep and goats have been busy this winter as well. We now have over a half dozen lambs and kids born and more are expected. They are full of energy and jumping around in their pens.
Spring is a time of renewal, a season we always enjoy.
See you soon!!
