Our beautiful geese are a friendly breed that has a quiet and pleasant disposition, are excellent foragers, fatten easily, and make gentle pets as they are more on the shy side than aggressive like some other goose breeds. In addition, they do love to cuddle. Did I tell you that they are beautiful yet?

Yes, we are selling geese to great, loving homes. We have 18 in total—some are permanent residents at the Kiki & Co. Family Farmhouse.

It's been about 4 years since I built the first Chicken coop. Then, it was the she-shed. Finishing it off—for now—is the goose coop.

I have been wanting to match them all with our house, which we painted a little over two years ago, and our shop.

I still have finishing touches but we are starting to feel like it might all be making sense.

The best part . . . they are all made from reclaimed windows, doors, and lumber. All trim on the chicken coop is from the collapsed barn from the property in Colville. It is about 100+ years old.

Since Spring, our little farm has seen many beautiful flowers in our trees and shrubs. Summer will bring forth blooming plants.

What a true gift nature brings if one takes a moment to look.

Three beautiful blue eggs await a life of adventure at the Kiki & Co. Family Farmhouse property.

Momma spends her day in this custom Sebastopol feathered nest warming her legacy.

At eye level, I pass by several times a day to offer her words of affirmation and gratitude. Soon.

I love that all the birds are putting to use all the feathers laying around the property. Nature. Soon the Wisteria will be green and flowering as well.

Like making maple syrup, the window to make violet syrup is small. For the past week, little violets have been adding color to the sleeping grass. The days are numbered before they are gone for the season.

Thus, now is the time to spend some time in nature to make some sweet violet syrup for the year. Read my blog to learn how.

Stay sweet my friends.

Walking through your yard this time a year offers little, delicate delights: wild violets. Our farm family love these delights. The geese enjoy stumbling upon a bed of deep blue flowers poking through the grass. One by one, they pluck the treats as they slowing waddle across the yard. However, it is...

Over two years ago, Dawn purchased two old post office like shelving units with the mindset that she could use them someplace.

Well, today, it is complete. This weekend, I turned the final one into 12 nesting boxes for the chicken run. The ladies are already at work after one day of use.

The other was put into the She-Shed over a year ago. Another job complete from the honey-do-list. 🤠

It was a weird winter that left us with below average snow fall and one really bad stretch of subzero temps, but at the end of winter, it is tree tapping time—not tree knocking . . . different game.

We didn't get all the trees tapped and the consecutive days of above and below freezing was not in our favor. Nonetheless, we managed to get some maple syrup for the year.

I know that we traditionally sell it; however, we don't have enough.

Good news for our harvest fans, both our beehives made it through the winter—first time.

Now it is time to for outdoor spring-clean.

Let life’s journey begin. With the change of the clocks, night comes later; thus, we have more time to spend with our feathered friends.

Tonight, I left the gate open for a couple minutes as I got the water ready and corralled Monster. When, I came back momma and the babies were out walking around with their guardian—Webster.

So, Dawn said let them roam. Roam they did. We could just spend the day watching their communication and hearing their little noises.

The farm comes alive this time of year.

There’s life and then there’s real life. ❤️

They ground me.

Cute meter? 1-10 where these cuties at?

You know you did a little something right when you’re 16-year-old son falls asleep on the floor with a day-old goslings in his sweatshirt while cuddling.

No peeps to be heard. All happy on the western front.

02/27/2024

Day two on this earth, and this little one found her way to the emergency room.

When Dawn went down to check on mama and the babies before taking another one of our chickens to the vet, she noticed this little one got stuck in an area she couldn’t get out from. (I fixed it.)

With her life, barely hanging on, Dawn with the chicken in tow took a ride to the vet. She was hypothermic. ❄️ however, tonight she’s cuddling with Justus in the warmth, of blankets in a basket.

She will be returning to her siblings and mom tomorrow. 🙏🏼❤️

Each morning offers a rebirth to not only our day but our life.

Let go of what happened yesterday and focus in on the beauty of the day. It's true . . . you are part of that beauty.

After making my cup of coffee and daydreaming out my windows, I braved the frigid 23 degrees for a walk about.

In these views, I am reminded of not only the rebirth of the day but also the rebirth in my soul through Him. These are some of the same majestic maples that we tap 3 months from now for some of the best maple syrup you will ever have.

It's true . . . He shows us daily His wonder and glory and invites us to see it, enjoy it, live it.

Today, I fire up the great w**d mulching machine to begin Fall clean up.

PS - If you use mulch for your garden or around your plants, you are more than welcome to come bag up the mulched leaves that I dump in various places around the property. They are organic.🍁🍁🍁 😎

Over the past two days as I have been working, I stopped for a moment to take pictures of some of the beauty that God blessed us with this weekend.

I love Fall. Clean up coming soon. 🤠

After a year, I finally finished the roof and the goose coop. Well, sort of finished. I still need to finish the chicken wire and door to run.

Plus, I will be dividing the interior for Prim and Olie and Webster and Sugar. They need their privacy. 🥰

I probably won't get to painitng it all white like the She-shed, but it will happen soon. Plus, the coop has power for lights and chandler coming soon as well.

I can't stop looking at the 120 year old window that I refaced and the handmade door out of 30-year-old fencing. Makes my heart happy.

Thank you to Larry, Jason, and Justus for helping me knocked this job out over the past couple days. 😎

I love when I can reach into baskets around the kitchen and grab fresh produce from the garden to cook dinner.

As the Mandalorian says, "Urban farming is the way."

Baby “Ryan” Goslings coming soon. Get in line. They are adorable. You have to get past the 7 ganders outside on watch, however. Just another winter around the @kikiandcofamilyfarmhouse. ❤️

Life is Better Together

𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐈𝐅𝐘 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐀𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐆𝐄 Here is your chance to add some bling to your property or farm. This is the first time since adding our Sebastopol Geese to our property that we will be offering goslings to sell—not Ryan Gosling . . . sorry ladies. If you have followed our many stories and loving memories stemming from our geese, you know the charm that Sebastopol Geese add to our lives and to our urban farm. A year ago, Prim hatched her first two gosling. One of them didn’t make it 😞 where the other, Sugar, grew to a beautiful goose 🥹. Sugar laid her first clutch this December. In the past 48 hours, 4 goslings have emerged beneath her loving wings with one egg still to hatch. Momma Prim is still setting on her own 7 eggs as we wait for them to break free soon. Visiting the eggs or new goslings is tricky as one must pass by the guards of the nest: Webster and Olie. If you have interest and the space to house these beautiful geese, DM us. Dawn will be tire point of contact. She is the boss and I am the laborer of the Kiki & Co. Family Farmhouse. #urbanfarming #gooselife #laborday #sheshed #blessed #kikiandcofamilyfarmhouse #urbanfarm #living #family #gardening #living #sebastopolgeese #chickens #farmlife

Momma goose, Prim, and I are going to attempt for the first time ever a one hand goose stand. Don’t attempt at home! I’m a professional goose whisperer. #goose #kikiandcofamilyfarmhouse #sebastopalgeese #urbanfarming #birdlife See less

They call me the goose whisperer. Well, I think that I am more their moral support and masseur. 🤠 ❤️ Kiki & Co. Family Farmhouse

𝐅𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄 𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐈𝐍 After a few days of pampering, Robin found her way. She has been chirping and jumping from spot to spot like a nervous Roadrunner. Today, Dawn decided to let her little friend try at flying once more. Well, give this a look. ❤️ Kiki & Co. Family Farmhouse

Every summer day requires some time for water fun around the Kiki & Family Farmhouse. Happy Sunday! #geese #kikiandcofamilyfarmhouse #summer

Hound Dawg Time My first child was Jake, a Blue Tick Hound, when I was in the military. Jake and I used to have our moments howling. Webster is the lead hound dawg of the geese. He weighs twice as much as the rest and runs the farm, but tonight, we had our Jake moment. Have I ever said that I love our geese. 🤠❤️

𝐀 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 A couple days ago, Dawn and I dressed up in our Tuesday best and captured a swarm of honey bees. 🐝 We have never had a swarm on our property nor captured one for that fact. Thus, it was a date night to remember. 24-hours later the hive was active and ready for its new home. Can't wait till extraction time to taste the creamy, local honey from our 3 hives. #kikiandcofamilyfarmhouse #honeybees #beehive
