Precious The Pig

December 7, 2020Leave a comment

I have been mentioning over and over again to Ken that I want to add different genetics to our pigs for a more hammier type pig. The pigs we have now grow more proportioned than some of the other breeds that grow disproportionate shoulders and butts. I believe we have a few females who are … Continue reading Precious The Pig

Snow day on the homestead

December 3, 2020December 7, 2020Leave a comment

It’s been excruciatingly cold outside after a fairly warmer November. We had high winds bring in a winter storm so It’s been in the teens for the past couple of nights. Four inches of snow came down on the first of December bringing us that winter wonderland feeling. For the past week and a half … Continue reading Snow day on the homestead

Update on our Ducks

December 1, 2020December 1, 2020Leave a comment

The ducks are all doing great. I haven’t gotten any eggs recently but that soon will change. Our new duck area has not been worked on. We’ve just been busy with so many other things, it’s not been priority. The area will need to be extended now that we know the Muscovy’s are quite the … Continue reading Update on our Ducks

Our Herd of Boer Does

December 1, 2020December 1, 20202 Comments

This year we decided that Goats were going to be one of the livestock we raise. Even though goats can be a hand full, they thrive in our area. I used to have a battle the weeds mind set until I observed firsthand that there is almost no weed that grows that can escape the … Continue reading Our Herd of Boer Does

Why we chose an electric Club Car over a fuel UTV

November 30, 2020December 1, 2020Leave a comment

I patiently waited 3 years for this! We finally have a buggy to ride around on the homestead and I’m so relieved because this helps cut my chore time in half. It may seem a bit lazy, but when you have three children who tend to get into things they shouldn’t, it makes it possible … Continue reading Why we chose an electric Club Car over a fuel UTV

Underground Well House

October 27, 2020Leave a comment

In spring of 2020 we paid to have a new water line trench and the perimeter around the well to be dug out. In our zone the water line has to be below the frost line, which is four feet deep. Our old line was not that deep plus, we had pvc lines that bust … Continue reading Underground Well House

Homesteading on Restricted Land

August 6, 2020August 6, 20201 Comment

Mornings like this are surreal. The fact we have all that we have is such a blessing and I am grateful beyond words. This morning while feeding and watering I had such an immense sense of joy hearing all our animals go about their ways. I started to look around and envision the things we … Continue reading Homesteading on Restricted Land

It’s beginning to look a lot like a Farm

July 28, 2020July 29, 2020Leave a comment

I know Ive probably said this a dozen times before on this blog. Like, “we are getting so close to becoming a farm” or “oh my gosh I’m so excited our place is looking like a farm”. So please, forgive me for the repetition of excitement, and I give you permission to roll your eyes … Continue reading It’s beginning to look a lot like a Farm

Free Pallet Goat Shelter

November 18, 2019Leave a comment

Our wannabe farm is starting to feel like a farm. We've added another goat to our place and she is such a sweetheart. The farm we got her from use to show her, so she has been handled amply. She may also have been bred and will be due in March 2020 if the breeding … Continue reading Free Pallet Goat Shelter
