I have a new Farm Stand in the works! Picked up this beautiful flower cart, it will be here monday. Now I just need to build a shelf and an awning for it. The other Farm Stand will be up for sale as soon as this one is done.

The Farm Stand will be CLOSED Friday, May 26th and will re-open Tuesday, May 30th. I have not had a vacation in 4 years, so taking some family time. Thank you for your patience!

I'm thinking of cutting back on a few animals.

Going to stop breeding bunnies - so selling off my boys. All angora - 1 black French x English, 1 fawn/chocolate tort French x English, 1 chocolate satin. 6️⃣5️⃣ each for f x e and 7️⃣0️⃣ for satin.

1 double hutch available - either sold with the rabbits or after they have sold - 7 ft long x 18" wide x 22" tall - top comes off, one side has a door, the other you can access from the top. $150

1 single hutch - only available with a rabbit or after rabbits have sold - needs work. $40

Also going to part with some hens - 1 barred rock, 1 black colored brown egg layer, 1 Plymouth rock, 1 red colored tan egg layer (older, but still lays eggs) 1️⃣4️⃣0️⃣ for all 4.

Prices are firm - I don't want to do this, but I don't have time for proper care for them right now, and this is hard enough to let them go.

It doesn't look like much but, I put in 9 posts and ran the new fence for the chicken yard. Now I just have to come up with a gate. I would really like to get one of those arches to put in front of the chicken yard so I can put some lights up.

Well, we had our first loss for 2023. One of our Easter Eggers hasn't been doing so well, and there's really not a lot you can do to treat a chicken for illness. We lost her last night. :(

Meet caramel! She is a sicilian buttercup hen, one of our neighbors found her in their yard and was unable to find her owner, so now she joins our Motley flock.

Sorry folks, the Farm Stand has been closed for a few weeks. The weather has been terrible, so I don't want to put anything outside which could get damaged by the weather.

I don't know when I will have eggs again. My birds molted, and then completely stopped laying. They still haven't started back up and I don't know why. I know there are many customers who are desperate for eggs right now, but I can't force my birds to lay, I just have to wait it out. I will be posting ads again when they start laying.

Making soap today. I haven't been posting much, because I've just been too busy and when I do get home, I'm so tired I just want to go to bed. Haven't really opened the farm stand, the weather has been really bad and I don't want everything getting soaked.

One of the most common questions I get is if I am a certified organic facility. Sadly, I am not.

It costs thousands of dollars and takes years to become certified organic. And even then, it requires inspections which cost money, regular testing which costs money, and it's just not conducive or affordable for a small business such as myself, especially if I'm selling 4 to 6 cartons eggs a week for between $2.50 a dozen and $4.50 a dozen. I wouldn't be able to sell enough eggs to even make up for the cost of becoming certified organic.

Many farms proudly boast the organic label, but they actually are not certified organic, because of how hard it is to become certified organic. Honestly, I barely make enough money to keep up with the cost of feeding my chickens, let alone the cost of betting, repairs to coops, veterinary care if necessary...

Here's a link to the requirements to become certified organic in Washington state just so you know just how difficult it is to become certified organic.

https://agr.wa.gov/departments/organic/new-applicant-info #:~:text=The%20new%20application%20fee%20for,due%20with%20your%20new%20application.

WSDA Organic Program is currently experiencing staff shortages. To allow our resources to catch up with the demand for services, WSDA Organic Program is limiting the number of new applications for certification. Effective May 15, 2021 and continuing through 2022, we are unable to accept new company....

Our one pumpkin this year, because none of the other blossoms produced anything.
