Very busy. Enjoying having our WOOFER. Chickens are acting like chickens. Turkeys are acting like, well, turkeys. Pigs are learning to come to kissy noises. Bucky the goat has been impersonating a pony. Suki is due to kid the end of June and we’re going to start prepping the maternity ward soon. Making cheese. Eating berries.
Speaking of berries, any Kincardine area folks looking for organic strawberries at half the price of grocery store fare, please visit my neighbour Alan Jantzi. If you are on HWY 21, turn inland at the 5th Concession at the Beefway. Drive about 10 clicks down. Look for Jantzi on the mailbox on the left side of the road, but his farm is the one set back on the right. They are Amish, and the farm across the street is also Amish. If you hit the Bervie sideroad, you’ve gone too far.
WWOOFing is awesome! Good on you for hosting one.
Just like your real babies, your animal babies are adorable!! In my region, chickens are only ‘legal’ in city limits if I bring them in every night and call them a house pet, same with rabbits. I am hoping they change the by-laws this year because I WANT my own chickens!!!
I LOVE BUCKY!!!!!
And all the chickens, turkeys, goatie-goats – Suki, Dibley, Buffie, Alda, Amund, Baker and Bettie, the baby piglets, Puppers and LaCochonne, the resident kitties as well as all of the strays you’ve helped to rehome, the crickets that make that lovely night music – I loves ‘em ALL !!!
and the lambs – I love the lambs too – do they have names yet?
A friend of mine recently linked me to your blog– and I just wanted to say how much I LOVE it and applaud everything you two are doing! Really, really inspiring and well done.
Fantastic!! Did your farm hand fly in yet? PS I may be coming that way in a week or 2 or 3. HA. If you’re up for a visit let me know……
Sarah, I also live in a city where chickens are nominally illegal, but our animal control department only enforces that law if there are complaints. You might ask around to see how strong enforcement is in your town!
