Fruits 'n Such Orchard

Addie is probably the best mommy we have here on the farm. She normally has triplets but this time she surprised us and had four!

Usually, she has a very easy time of it-three hours max and sometimes I don’t even realize she’s in labor. She’s so easy. This time was pretty different though.

She was in labor at 8 o’clock in the morning and didn’t finish until close to five in the afternoon.

The babies weigh in at anywhere from 28.7 ounces to 42.2 ounces.

It seems that her second baby always comes out breach, but she has no problem with that. This little guy though had a hard time getting his feet underneath him. He’s almost got it mastered now though and doing great. He’s the biggest baby there she has. Babynumber four had its head tilting back and we had to help him into the world. He’s doing great now.

We’re helping out by giving the babies a little extra colostrum to make sure they’re getting plenty to eat. One of them is having a hard time learning how to suck but hopefully he’ll get there soon.

So far all the babies look really good and we’re keeping a close eye on them. Hopefully, you can all see them soon.

Boy, what a time we’ve had on the farm in the past 25 hours.

Yesterday morning at 8 o’clock both Addie and Sarah were in labor.

Sarah had her babies first and all went great. The babies are big and healthy and Addie was a terrific birth coach. She helped Sarah clean up her babies and get them off to a good start.

However Addie thinks all babies in that barn are hers so we have to keep telling her that she has to let Sarah have her babies and not be a bully. Sarah is being an excellent mom and all is well.

I’ll tell Addie story in another post.

Gotta love these little tail wags! The one that has a black leg with a ring of white around it is the little girl

We are on baby goat watch with our doe Addie.

It’s so cool to watch her belly and see the babies moving around. I don’t think they show up on video or I would make one.

Good morning.

We will be at the farm today from nine until 12 selling our home canned goods.

I do have some of the cowboy candy and some of the pepper blueberry jam. These make great appetizers just get a block of cream cheese. Pour the jam over the cream cheese and serve with crackers Super easy.

Have a wonderful day!

Yesterday I did the girls rabbit boxes. Today I did Mr. Bean’s

Mr. Bean got his name because Melinda and Chad took Levi out to dinner at a Mexican food restaurant where he was eating refried beans. They asked him what he thought they should name the rabbit and he said Mr. Bean. Sounds perfect to me.

Mr. Bean is great for photo ops. He absolutely loves to pose.

We will be open Saturday from nine until noon. We will have our home canned pickles, peppers, and jam. We also have mustard greens and an assortment of peppers to pick.
