Cheep,Cheep ;-)

Baby Chicks! The first batch of the year. These little guys ( yes, all males) got here just a few days ago. The children are pretty excited. ;-) There are 175 of them, and they won't stay this small very long. They are already bigger that they were yesterday. It's amazing how fast they will grow in the next two months. We will keep them inside on sawdust bedding (great for scratching) for the first couple of weeks ;-) they need to be nice and warm to get a good head start. As soon as they are big enough to go outside they will be on pasture untill they are ready to dress. If you have not ordered yours yet for May please do ASAP. We are quickly selling out.

The Tomatoes are up!!

Finally! It seems like forever since I planted them. Just the sight of those little green leaves makes me feel like it's really spring ;-) For out CSA members, this is when the real work starts for farmers. ;-) As soon as the garden dries out from all of the rain we've been having we will start planting lettuce, peas, radishes, onions, and spinach. This is also the time of year we start having babies ;-) Here is one of the first little fellas to arive on the scene. I will put up pics of bees and chicks when we get them too. ;-) Only by His grace - Marion

Welcome to life on the Farm!

This is my first time blogging, so please keep this in mind while I get used to it ;-) I will be using this space to keep friends, family, customers and CSA members up to date on what's going on around here. You might see some things that are not exactly farm news, but the farm is life around here, and all of life affects the farm, so don't be surprised by the children's birthday pictures ;-) I hope to have some farm pics up in the next few days, so check back ;-) Only by His grace - Marion
