Big Days Ahead!

After a what felt like forever, Spring has finally arrived on the farm. We are busy working to get the our chicken coop ready for the girls to move in. They have gotten so much bigger in the past four weeks. It's surprising they have been in the basement of our house for that long already. We are working to clean out and fix up a cattle shed on our property for their new home. I spent a whole afternoon last week scraping old manure and dirt out to lay down some fresh straw for the chickens' bedding. Pictures to come soon!

The warmer weather also means a weekend of tilling up our garden beds.  I am happy to announce, I was able to get our tiller started after a few years of non-use!  On Wednesday, the seeds from Burgess arrived in the mail and excitement only has grown from there. After doing a little research, since our farm is in the hardiness "Region 4", we can begin planting most of our seeds anytime from today to May 1st. Again, look for pictures to come soon!

Happy planting season! Our journey continues now...
