We wish all our friends luck in filling their freezers during the various lawful hunting seasons.

However, our local deer do love finding refuge in our hay fields ❤️

As always, we take pride in living in harmony with these guys without interaction.

Sending a huge Happy Birthday out to the farmer man of the operation ❤️ We couldn’t do it without you and cannot wait to spend many more years of sharing the love of farming with you.

Ballyduff Farms did an amazing job yesterday getting our ditches and overgrown area under control! A few areas have been let grow wild for over 40 years and have choked out many larger trees. We are so excited to be able to reclaim the land and plant some of our favourite native trees ❤️ Thanks Oli! It’s always a pleasure doing business.

Many people say that farmers don’t care about their animals. The animals are there to produce and make a Cheque.

Today is one of those days where I can prove you wrong. This morning I found Sassy, our final ‘original’ chicken and one I had vowed could live her best life without a band on her leg, looking very mildly off in behaviour. This is usually enough for one of our chickens to get pulled and have a full assessment in the barn. Turns out it was very likely she had a broken egg inside of her. There was nothing we could do but provide her dignity. We had decided that we wanted to bury her and provide her a medically assisted end at our beloved avian vet, Almonte Veterinary Services. When I say, we as food producers care, I will honestly tell you how I have never cried so much over a chicken. 💔 The goal on the farm with raising food producing animals has always been 1 bad day on the farm and when things go wrong like today, 1 hour too soon is better than a minute too late.

We let Miss. Sassy Pants, the matriarch of our flock, go today. She still had s***k, she ate her favourite snacks and she had a final morning out of the frosty pasture in the living room bay window having a good sun nap until we got the call from the vet. We thank her for putting this crack in our hearts today to remind us that we chose the right path. Without this heartache would mean we did not put her first.

We wish you safe passage over Rainbow Bridge our Sassy Pants. Until next time ❤️

As the sun sets and the biggest moon of the year rises, the big pack of coyotes across from the farm are greeting Mr.Moon with chants of excitement.

The ponies said ‘Mmmm ice cream for breakfast!’ Our first real hard frost this morning.

Chore time is a bit darker these days. But even in the darkness our rose bush flashes her pretty colours. ❤️

On the farm you learn to be thankful for the little things. From the tiniest bacteria that creates healthy soil to the 1200lbs monsterous Hank and all the way back to the warm and fuzzies you get while blowing a fluffy dandelion.

This weekend we officially tucked the garden in with 6-8” of compost and removed all of the summer plants. I always have a ritual where I say thank you to every plant I pull from the garden in the fall. Whether we had good weather, bad weather, good growing or bad growing… They always give it all they can to make a bountiful garden. For that, we are always thankful ❤️

We hope everyone was able to spend some time reflecting on life this weekend.

Happy Thanksgiving

Woowee!! 🌬️🍃⚡️ That was an interesting night. Here we thought Mother Nature was finally being kind and giving us a beautiful light show with the auroras the night before to end off a crazy summer.
🫠 In perfect Mother Nature style she said ‘Just joking!’ Wind, Thunderstorms, power outages. It was a night and everyone is a little tired. Blossom says that today is a suntanning day from the stall doorway kinda day. ❤️

Magic is enjoying some of Mother Nature’s magic ❤️

Sometimes it takes a moment to realize the gesture is not ‘I’m going to eat you’ and instead ‘I love you’ 🥰

Broody Hen

Off to the other chicken tractor. This is what we call a Broody Hen. She kicks all the other hens off so she can sit on all the eggs to hatch them. Little does she know that we don’t have a rooster to make those eggs hatch… We always know when we have a broody hen because you will walk out and it’ll look like a chicken was attacked with feathers everywhere! In reality, they pluck their feathers out themselves to have direct contact with the eggs to keep them warm. You then go check the nesting boxes and find a Raptor from another world. 🐦‍🔥 You can break the broodiness with certain methods which we can post about later! Stay tuned!

Mother Nature might be playing hardball with her weather around the farm… but we have no problem taking the win from her with our free range heritage chickens 💪🏻 2 more weeks until our #2024 batch is ready! #poultry #chicken #farming #homesteading #Ottawa #ontario #canada #ontariofederationofagriculture #rustic #Rangers #bbq #dinnertime #rotisseriechicken #rotisseriechicken #foodie #farmfresh #youngfarmers

Sending all the Mummas out there a very Happy Mummas Day! As the Mother Hen of the farm, I can say I was treated to a real special day. We packed up the pony limo and was off to the Trans Can trail where we got in a nice 10km ride. My heart is full with nurturing all the living things on the farm. ❤️ #equestrian #farmlife #mothersday #ottawa #ontario #horsesofinstagram

Chicks

We are welcoming our newest additions! Everyone arrived happy and healthy ☺️ Welcome to Cornerbrook chickies!

Sparky

Clooney decided that he’s making his own entertainment today. He nabbed the cones from under the fence in the riding ring. Riding footing couldn’t come soon enough for his brain!

With the extreme amount of drifting, doing field work with the tractor is really difficult. We have had to abandon one of the hay wagons we were doing bush work with. The only thing is… we had a bunch of chains on the wagon that had to come in. Solution: Downgrade from 64 horse power to 1 horse power. Hank thoroughly enjoys being a ranch pony and saved us from having to hand walk all the heavy chains all the way back from the lower field. This is an example of how you sometimes need to get a bit creative to get the job done.
