Vendors will be allowed to set up Saturday & Sunday from 9am - 5pm. Route 90 sales will be ongoing so lots of traffic!

We are working with a local grocery store to ensure produce not fit for human consumption is redirected for animal use, minimizing composting waste. This weekend we picked up our first donation of some great produce treats for the birds.

The layer flock is enjoying some apples and other fruit this morning. So grateful for this collaboration. 🍎

Don't forget that we have extended this month's Fingerlakes Farm Swap! Vendors are allowed to set up for 3 days (if desired - you can pick and choose days!)

FRIDAY JULY 26TH - SUNDAY JULY 28TH

This is the weekend of the ROUTE 90 SALES! This means there will be tons of traffic, as the sale is 50+ miles long and has been running for years. Vendors can bring farm animals, crafts, baked goods, food, plants - anything you'd like as long as it's legal to sell in NYS. 🙂

We're planning to provide a port-a-potty and will also have water access for vendors. A $10 contribution per day to help cover the cost of port-a-potty is suggested but not required.

Please DM me or comment below if you're interested in setting up!

A chocolate swirl loaf I tested yesterday. Overall, relatively pleased with the flavor and crumb of the loaf but there are a few changes I'll make next time. 🍫

Trialing different bread recipes for the farmstand today! White sandwich bread, Italian herbs and cheese, everything, and possibly jalapeño cheddar. What other breads should I whip up today?

Recently, we had the chance to rescue a sweet, beautiful basset hound named Latte. After losing our puppy in the accident, I didn’t think I was ready for another dog any time soon. But when I saw Latte online, I instantly fell in love and knew she needed my help.

Latte had been used for breeding in a Mennonite puppy mill. We’re unsure how many litters she had, but her last one was recent, as she was still full of milk when a friend and I rescued her. She had spent all five years of her life living outside, treated only as a utility and likely never truly knowing love or kindness.

In the short time since bringing Latte home, I’ve watched her transform from a (likely abused and mistreated) terrified, reactive dog into a sweetheart who soaks up love like a sponge. She has gradually gained confidence and now seeks attention and affection. We've been working on socializing her to people and other dogs, and she is doing so well learning the world around her. She, Baylee, and Marlee have quickly become best friends - the perks of the three of them being in the same age range!

I’m not sure if I saved her or if she saved me. What I do know is that she has been essential for helping me process and heal from our recent losses. Latte has become my velcro dog and best friend, and I’m so excited to give her the life she deserves.

Welcome to your forever home, sweet girl. 💜

"You have a s**t ton of fresh lavender silkie babies in the barn." - my husband after bedtime chores today

My broody bi***es did good 🙌🏻👏🏻💜

Baylee is practicing to be a mountain goat. She jumped up onto everything she could on our hike tonight.

Who wants baby bunnies!?

Pedigreed English Angoras looking for a home. 4 available!

I am helping a client of mine rehome these sweeties, as they were a surprise litter from a doe I sold recently. PM for info!

Harvested some peonies today for this week's bouquets! I'm thinking straight peony bunches this week. The white peonies are past their prime for bouquets, but the pinks are looking fantastic. 💐

Goodbye rotting raised garden bed!

I've wanted this gone since I bought the farm in February 2023. It's finally coming down to make way for cut flower space!

05/30/2024

💐 Would anyone be interested in a weekly or bi-weekly bouquet subscription from us?

This morning, I sit here disappointed that we won’t be able to open our u-pick flower, strawberry, and pumpkin patch this year as planned. With the accident, we just cannot physically manage to put in the work to do so, nor can we swing it otherwise.

I’m hopeful to raise these things on a smaller scale, for sale via our farm stand. I already have garden beds that we put in last year, so I’m hopeful that a lot of the annual wildflowers last year self-seeded and that most of my perennials will come back. This spring, I also direct sowed some seeds from last year.

I have some questions for my customers and potential customers.

Keep in mind: All bouquets will be $20, with a max of one or two “recipes” each week.

I am planning to do cut flower bouquets once a week at our farmstand. Would you like to see:

🧡 Punchy, bold colors like pink, magenta, orange, yellow, green
🤍 Pretty pastels and muted tones, like cream, ivory, and blush
🖤 Goth flower bouquets with deep purples, reds, and blacks

What day would you most like to pick up a bouquet at the farm stand?
📅 Saturday
📅 Sunday
📅 Other (please suggest)

If delivery was available within Ithaca, Cortland, and Auburn, would you take advantage of it for a fee?
🚗 Yes
🚗 No

If I do freshly baked bread, what day would you like to see it at the stand?
🥖 Monday
🥖 Wednesday
🥖 Friday
🥖 Other (please suggest)

05/30/2024

We will have $20 bouquets available at our farm stand soon! This first round will be peonies and possibly some roses.

We are having to put our u-pick flowers on hold this year; however, I am planning to do fresh bouquets on either Saturday or Sunday each week. Stay tuned for updates!

Some of you may have heard that I was in a bad car accident this weekend on my way to the show in Dayton, OH. We unfortunately lost our puppy in the wreck.

My husband and I both walked away pretty banged up and bruised, but with no broken bones or super serious injuries. We just finally got back home after being hospitalized in the trauma unit at Hillcrest Hospital just outside of Cleveland, OH.

We're both incredibly sore and are doing our best to work through the physical, mental, and emotional trauma we endured.

Having said that, we will be taking a step back from attending long-distance poultry shows for the foreseeable future. This seriously traumatized me too much to go more than an hour or two from home for a while.

I will likely be a little quiet on social media for a while as I heal and process. Please be patient. 💜

Editing to add: I've had several people ask me for my PayPal and Venmo so they can donate. Please do not feel obligated but know that anything really helps.

I wing banded some juvenile birds today, so I figured I'd film a quick tutorial and talk about my experience. Let me know if you have questions or want me to talk about anything else!

A friend of mine has fertile Coturnix Quail hatching eggs for $15/dozen. This is a great deal! Grab them before they're gone. Located in Ithaca, NY 14850. PM me or Cooper's Coop and Homestead for details!

A friend of mine has some really nice blue laced red wyandottes for $150/pair. These would be a fantastic start to someone's breeding program. Please PM me for information! These are from an NPIP certified flock.
