We’re enjoying the fruits of our labor this 4th of July!

Our cantaloupe is ssooo juicy, sweet and tasty!! You know how some cantaloupe is just sweet but no flavor? …not these! Wow! They’re yummy!

I made potato salad with our potatoes, our quail eggs, and our onions. (sadly, not our bacon … our bacon doesn’t last long here😂🤷‍♀️). Oh, and I put purple potato on top. 😁

Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸

Yup… thank you, Uncle Sam. 🤷‍♀️Have a happy and safe 4th everyone! 🇺🇸

We’ve been holding steady here Old Dog Farm SC. It’s a little warm these days (my thin Floridian blood is lovin’ the heat! 🔥🌞).

We’re on our third round of hatching quail and we’ll start processing some next month.

I’ve been processing chicken darn near every Saturday since what feels like foreverrrrrr! Haha. Seriously though, it’s WORK, folks. And likely why not too many farmers raise meat birds. But I’ll keep at it for a bit. I’ll process more this Saturday and I’ll pick up more chicks next week; and even more chicks inbound in Aug and Sep. We’ll rest through winter this year.

We’re on our second and third rounds of cucumber and eggplant. And the huckleberries are ready to start harvesting this weekend.

Check us out on CAFE Clemson Area Food Exchange (CAFE) where we list our available produce there each Friday evening.

Thanks for reading this update and hangin’ with us!

Y’all get ready!!! Banana melons and Kajari melons are coming!!

Kajari melon is a type of muskmelon originating from India, and known for their sweet, honeydew-like flavor and striking, striped appearance.

Banana melon typically tastes sweet and juicy, with a flavor described as a cross between cantaloupe and honeydew, sometimes with a hint of banana or pineapple. And these guys are HUGE!

? Did you know ?

Cotrunix quail can come in a wide variety of feather colors, all of which have a specific name. Here are pictures of chicks we have hatched, what they look like as chicks and how they have feathered out as adolescents.

I call the light colored ones “blondies” but their coloring is actually called Egyptian.

The dark colored ones are Pharoah.

What’s one to do when one has a surplus of eggs?? Well, a surplus of quail eggs anyway… (I can’t even imagine a surplus of chicken eggs 😂🥚).

You can water glass your eggs. Water glassing involves submerging eggs in a pickling lime solution.

The lime solution creates a barrier on the eggshell, preventing air and bacteria from entering and spoiling the egg. This method can preserve your eggs up to 18 months, maybe longer!

Nothing goes to waste here Old Dog Farm SC.

Old Dog Farm’s version of Peach Bellini! I stewed our peaches with a little light brown sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of cinnamon. Then I blended the purée with our strawberries, a little honey, and pinot grigio. Then added a couple sprigs of mint to the shaker and pour with strawberry bubbly water. Dang it’s good on this hot summer day!! 😍🍹



Our young white peach tree, only its second harvest, provided us a bunch of sweet, juicy & delicious peaches.

One of the chickens I processed last weekend had a little bruise on the breast meat (I think from the plucker..🤷‍♀️), so I couldn’t provide that one as a whole chicken for our customer so… it was cut up and we got to keep it! Woo hoo!

So, we got a great dinner tonight. All our products: pastured chicken, potatoes, tomato, red onion and onion tops. ….we both wish I had made more potatoes! 😁

We love summer evenings. We do our walk-about together and talk about our plants and go over to-dos for the next day. The grass is loving all the rain we’ve had thus far this season, where it’s typically patchy is pretty darn lush at the moment.
