The weather has been up and down this spring. We go from pretty warm to downright cold. This week it is going to be hot. We are talking in the 90′s folks. As I looked out at the farm this weekend and saw all the green that has happened in the last 4 weeks I [...]

We got a new piece of farm equipment this weekend. It is a used EZ-Go cart with a bunch of attachments. This thing even has a cover and a heater! As you can see I have yet to use this. They boys have loved driving it around though. The Driver’s License is not to far [...]

We are going to be HOME for Christmas this year! This is the first Christmas that my boys will ever remember being home. So I decided to do something a little different. I decided that we would make our own ornaments for the tree this year. We made gingerbread cookies, dried orange/lemon slices, and we [...]

I was cleaning up the garden getting ready to till it for winter. I thought the sweet potatoes were a bust this year as well. Everything else was a bust this year, why not the sweet potatoes? Boy was I wrong. I told Jacob he could dig for some if he wanted. After the fourth [...]

Most people would free range their chickens…right? We prefer to keep our chickens in the goat yard and free range our goats. The goats got out the other day. Quinn was cutting logs in the goat yard and latched the gate from the other side. He didn’t think they would get out by pulling the [...]

Samuel got new glasses finally! He lost them in late June. He has been wearing his older pair until he found them. He said he took them off in the goat yard. What!??? I could not believe that he thought that is where he had them last. We searched but didn’t find them so I [...]

I found success the first time in my goat cheese making endeavor! Usually the first time I try something it ends in disaster…but not this time! This is all my first batch made. I started with a gallon of goat milk and ended up with about 10 oz of cream cheese. From left to right [...]

Most of you have heard about the recent storms in the South East. Nashville was hit pretty bad with 15 inches of rain in 2 days. West of Nashville was hit with over 20 inches. The Cumberland River flows right through Nashville and is at 52+ feet as I write this. To put that into [...]

Look what we got today! I know it seems like I need a 12 step program for chicken addictions, however, since my friendly neighborhood fox has taken to dining on my hens I want to make sure I have extras for next year. I found this guy on Craigslist. He guarantees that these are girls. [...]

We have had many highs and lows in just the last 24 hours here on the farm. Last night we were searching for our dog Bullet. We got a call from someone who had picked him up but then released him when she spoke to a neighbor ( a mile plus away) and realized he [...]
