Hello Farm Friends, Things crank up in January when we do our organic plant starts. Susan and Anna introduced their delicious Pancake Mix this year. The garden has been overseeded with rye grass for spring planting. Asparagus bed is starting to show it's first few sprouts
mid-March. David and Tina raised a flock of 150 laying hens that began laying in the summer. Grandson, Joshua helps in the garden. Grandad and Granny getting the spring garden all planted and
watered. Midnight gave us four precious little farm hands. Pickles and Smudge enjoying a bowl of milk. Susan and Anna's Fudge Brownies! In June we stopped cutting asparagus and allowed it to "fern". Look how beautiful it is! Buff Orpington hen doing her job. Jersey cows enjoying their balage and each other. Liberty and Angel are best

butter. Freedom Ranger broiler chicken served up with mashed potatoes and carrots. Anna does a great job as our personal chef.
