Weblog Entry
The past couple weeks have continued to be busy on the farm. We finished the soybean and black bean harvests. A lot of the black beans split while harvesting so we will probably be selling both split and whole beans in the near future, as soon as we pick out the rogue soybeans.
We’ve been emptying the bin of last years corn and hope to get this years corn in soon.
Last weekend we attended our last goat show of the season in North Carolina. Buckley – our last kid from this year- took Reserve Grand Champion Buck and also found his new herd. He now lives in Georgia. Logan, who did not attend the event in person but sent his fleece, took home Grand Champion Fleece! The judge made me promise I would find him a crown to wear…. I’ll post pics if I find one!
The rest of the goats have begun their breeding season. We expect kids throughout the month of March so plan on swinging if in to help us socialize them!
We have also been planting our garlic – about 6 varieties are planted so far with 4 to go. And for those that still need some garlic there’s still a little left – mostly Killarney – which are smaller heads but still delicious.
And unfortunately we had to say goodbye to our founding flock member , Nuzzler, this week. She was an older gal, always eager for treats and head scratches. We miss her already. If only all our 4 legged friends would live as long as us. We did welcome in new farm members this week too though. New laying chicks are brooding in the heated shed. We shouldn’t have a lack of eggs come spring. And Teddy, a wethered goat from a couple years ago returned home. More picks to come on our FB and IG.
Remember next Tuesday is Election Day!!!! Get out and vote!
