50 Chicks!  They're Here!
They will be sheltered in our brooder for about 3 weeks until their feathers develop.

Once they are hearty enough to withstand the outdoors, they will be placed in my (once again) new and improved chicken tractor, where they will be able to receive fresh air, varied insects and grasses, along with non-gmo wholesome grain free of antibiotics, pesticides, herbicides, and arsenic.

  After 5 weeks, they will have grown to 3.5 lbs. - 5.5 lbs., at which point they will be ready for processing by our USDA facility and then enjoyed from our dining room table.

Daylight Hours Make a Difference

As daylight hours decrease, layers dropped in their egg production, but as daylight hours increase, their production increases!   

We are back on the increase!  Order your eggs today!

Grasses - The Perfect Gift

This is good old Tennessee soil!

After one planting, only a few blades of grass made their way through the hard soil.

 Improvements are on the way!

Fescue begins to spring forward.

There IS hope for the soil!

Here is a beautiful bed of clover!

That's better!

A dairy cow is closer to reality for us! 

Below is a mixture of clover, fescue, and timothy grass!

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.  James 1:17

Processing Day for Last Batch

Tuesday, October 25th our broilers will be processed

by the USDA inspected facility.

They look GREAT!

First Farm Tour

Our first farm tour was for little Rayna and her mama. 

Rayna enjoyed walking through the clover.

We finally reached the egg mobile where our hens lay their eggs.

Rayna collected eggs that day!

At first, Rayna was timid around the hens, but soon

she was feeding them and enjoying it!

 To finish off the field trip,

Rayna packaged the eggs and took them home!

Blessings From Above

The Watcher

Four hummingbirds visited us throughout the summer months. The bird on the branch watched diligently as the other four hummingbirds tried to get a drink. As each one came close to the feeder, the bird on the branch dive bombed them, giving them no access to the feeder.  Thus the hummingbird at the feeder is the same bird on the branch.  In spite of The Watcher's aggressiveness, the four hummingbirds continue to make effort, giving us a beautiful show throughout the day.
