Getting to the end of the raspberries, picked 2 cucumber, a yellow hook neck and a zucchini, and a mess of fresh wax beans.

Picked another couple of quarts of raspberries and a pint of blueberries. I believe I have kept the woodchuck out of the garden, but time will tell. Now it's the Japanese beetles causing damage... I'll be spraying in the morning to try to prevent further damage.

2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup milk
1 cup fresh raspberries

Collecting paper lanterns on our farm, we suggest alternative ways to support your causes. Cows may ingest the lanterns, which contain harmful wire. Donate directly to your cause, not through lanterns or balloons. Our goal is to educate, not to judge.

How I started my day today , glad the firewood is done for a while, now I can keep up with the garden.

06/11/2024

With the woodshed now at maximum capacity, my focus turns to maintaining the splitter and changing the hydraulic oil filter. I gave the chainsaw a much-needed cleaning and inspected the bar before lubricating the wheel and installing a fresh chain. Next winter's heat and hot water are already sorted out, which is a relief.

06/11/2024

Woodshed is getting filled up for next winter. Should be done by the weekend. Then it's a rap till next year.

06/09/2024

Another successful project completed, ready to be enjoyed for years!

06/08/2024

Another homestead farm project is almost done. Rain has it on hold till it stops.

06/07/2024

Filling up the last of the inside of the woodshed.
Working on the garden and rototilling this morning

06/03/2024

The garden is flourishing; I'm currently working on completing the new fence near the brim flower bed by setting the posts and attaching the rails.

06/03/2024

Ready for next winter's fires, with just a bit more wood to add to the shed.

05/23/2024

Got more firewood delivery today

05/22/2024

Garden is coming up and I hoed in tillered it after the rain.

05/21/2024

Big storm came though the homestead farm last night. Luckily it only thinned the branches in the trees.
Another more stronger system is coming though overnight.
Hopefully it will be less stressful than last night system.

It's funny how a farmer spends countless hours getting the land ready, from plowing to planting. He spends $1000's of dollars on fuel, equipment, and repair bills. He spends many hours praying for rain or sunshine instead of sleeping. He sweats like no other job will make you. He works like most people wouldn't.
He gets yelled at and cussed out by people who get caught behind the tractor traveling down the road, and he spends many times of the day wondering if it's worth it! The deer, coyotes, hogs, c***s, gophers, grasshoppers are just a few pests to contend with!! He does all of this for what??? Ask yourself, "Why would he do that?"
The answers are all around you. The plate of food sitting in front of you, the clothes on your back, the shoes on your feet, and the last answer is the one that puzzles most people. It's the dust, love for agriculture, and the satisfaction of knowing he has done his part at the end of the day! I'd like to thank all the farmers out there who help make the world go round!
God bless our farmers!

It been a damp overcast day with on in off rain showers. During the pause in the rain, I took advantage of the opportunity to plant a short row of leaf lettuce, green bell peppers, eggplant, and a row of green beans. In addition, I picked fresh asparagus from the garden to include in our evening meal.
That it for today from our Homestead Farm!!

How I started my day today , glad the firewood is done for a while, now I can keep up with the garden.

Our log splitter would not start, crankcase was full of gas. Cleaned the carb and changed the oil. Got to remember to shut the gas off after use.

If you only had smell a vision, it sure makes the house smell wonderful good.

Our meat birds !

They are about a week old now.

Sap is running good the last few days

I think I might have hurt myself

Steam coming out of our sugar shack this cold morning.
