We've been busy chasing dreams on our little slice of heaven since 2019.
(5)
This season we have been hard at work thinning the workload at the farm. As painful as that has been at times, I’m grateful it has enabled us to slow down a bit, try new hobbies, and spend some quality time together.
It was a gorgeous day for paddle boarding! We all did great for first-timers!💚
We are letting go of a few farm items.
UPDATE: SOLD🙃
First up for grabs is a small coop that’ll house 6 hens. It is all tidied up and ready for its new home! The roof of the run portion needs a new piece of tin as you can see in the pictures. Besides that, the coop is in great condition.
(Need hens? We’ve got those available too!)
PM for pricing or any other questions you may have.
Thanks All!!!

After many months of debating and struggling with the decision, we’ve decided to part with our last two pet quality Silkie hens. PM for further details.
Anyone out there looking to fill their freezer with some locally grown pork? We’d love to extend an offer to you and yours. We have two whole or 4 half hog shares available for pick-up asap.
Cullen (our 14yo son) has put in the hard work raising yet another handsome group of Berkshire hogs.

What do you do when you discover there just may be an entire 110yo wooden wall hiding under all the layers in your bedroom you’re remodeling?
Duh, find a nurse to cover your shift at work for the day and get to digging through the 50 layers of wall.
Digging for gold today!🤞🏼🙏🏻Praying the wood is complete
The pups have hit the 8 week old mark and have begun to make their way to their forever homes.
The lucky pup going home today is Gomez Addams!!
Tuesday’s tumbles💪🏼
It’s hard to believe the pups are already 3.5 weeks old. They are growing like little weeds and learning how to wrestle, chomp on each other, and play.
So who holds the title this week for Tuesdays Toughest Tyrant????
The white collared female, Elvira🥰🤍
Look who found their dream puppy!
Congratulations Brandy, Lonnie, and sweet little Elvira (white collar).

Black Female
Wednesday pulled at our 💚 strings from the very beginning. When she entered the world as #7 of the litter born at 7:55am
on Friday, October 13th, she was a tad slow to get that first breath. As though that wasn’t enough to worry about…her cord would not clot off so Raegan had to provide some one on one care to little Wednesday while I was busy soothing Meadow as she delivered several more babies.🩷🩷
Though she got our heart rates up, she is a perfect healthy pup.
This petite lady sure knows how to make an entrance!

Here’s our beautiful gaggle of girls!!
Meadow delivered six gorgeous girls in a variety of colors. Everyone is doing fabulous.
Which one is your fave!?
Need a new family member for Christmas? We’ve got you covered!! 🐶
Heaven, we are in absolute puppy heaven with this litter! The variety in color and genders this time is spectacular!
🐶
Day 61!!!!!
Meadow’s temp is holding steady in the 100 degree range, but her urge to nest is growing just like her sweet little tummy.💜
We are grateful this is Fall Break for the kiddos cause poor Cullen was up half the night with Meadow trying to dig holes, excuse me, I mean nest in his room.🥰
Sweet momma is trying to prepare for the arrival of her little angels!🩷🐾🐶
On the agenda for today:
1. Shave Meadow’s belly and backside.
2. Finish up this darn porch before puppies arrive!😵💫
Anyone else out there feel like they are always working trying to conquer that never-ending to-do list?
🐶
Day 59!!!!
A week before the official due date we begin taking Meadow’s temperature daily and record it in our nifty notebook🐾.
She’s been 99.9 degrees every morning so far.
We are eagerly watching and waiting for that one degree drop in her temp signifying pups within 12-24hours!!!🐶🐶🐾🐾
🐶
Day 58!!!!
Meadow has officially made it to full-term!🎉 Though we are pretty sure she still has a few days before it’s delivery day….. she could have the babies any time now♥️🧡💜💙💛💚🩶🤍🤎🩷🩵
Her due date is this Saturday, 10-14
Anyone want to guess what day she’ll deliver on!?
We’ve been busy little bees prepping for the upcoming litter. Cullen helped me get our Puppy Central notebook filled and ready to go! (There’s a lot of record keeping to do when whelping a litter of pups)
UPDATE: NO LONGER AVAILABLE
We’ve decided to let go of some equipment we no longer use.
Item #1 our original chick brooder.
(Measurements shown in the pictures)
Homemade chick brooder up for grabs!
Homemade so she’s solid. Though she may need a little tweaking to the waste tray/drawer to make it pull smoother. We preferred taking the drawer out and lining the space with newspaper to catch waste and make for easy cleaning.
The floor is made of hardware cloth allowing waste to fall through to catch tray. This piece is on 4 heavy casters for easy moving. Comes with two cutouts for storage space. We have used both heating lamps and ecoglows with this piece to provide the proper temp for littles.
If you are interested please pm.
Thank you,
Beth Melhorn
While Momma Meadow has been busy growing a litter of perfect pups, Papa Sam has been busy……. Um, napping.🤣 This sweet boy cracks me up with all his funny sleeping positions.
We call this one Count Samula.
Time has absolutely flown by!
Our beautiful Meadow is nearing the end of her second pregnancy. (October 14th is the official due date for those who want to follow along)
We made a few changes with this pregnancy. With her first pregnancy we used supplements AFTER the delivery to assist with milk production and calcium needs. We also utilized their formula to supplement the pups.
We were so impressed with the results we decided to add prenatal vitamins to our regimen. The results have been fabulous! Meadow has had a smooth pregnancy thus far. Thankfully her pica has been almost nonexistent this pregnancy versus last pregnancy she was an absolute maniac for chicken poop🤦🏻♀️
Moral of the story…. Breeders Edge products are worth the investment!
We are suffering from chicken math out here at the farm😍😍😍😍
We’ve got a handful of extremely adorable and vocal pet-quality straight run day old Silkie chicks available for local pickup. Pm if interested.
Anyone out there looking forward to all that the Fall season has to offer? 🍁
We’d love to extend the opportunity to get your freezer full this Fall!!!
Cullen (our 13yo son) has been working hard raising another handsome group of Berkshire hogs. They are living in hog heaven between the cooler temps and all the acorns falling to the forest floor for them to feast on!

Happy Daughter Day to our two beautiful baby girls, Raegan Melhorn and Adaline.
Over the past couple months we’ve done some soul searching in regards to everything Melhorn Manor & Farm. It was then we became aware we’ve gotten off track with our Silkie Breeding program.
We admittedly got a little distracted by all the cute fluffy faces. Then, Silkie chicken math hit! 🤣
We’ve made great progress in the two months after the intervention.
1. We have now found perfect homes for the 10 Silkies we rehomed.
2. We are currently remodeling Chateau de Silkie to better meet our needs.
3. WE ARE ADDING MORE SILKIES!!!!!😝🥳🥳
🎈WELCOME TO THE FARM ZEPHYR & ADELE!!🎈
Thank you Persnickety Poultry for these gorgeous birds who will help us get one step closer to our Silkie goals!
We are ecstatic for the opportunity to offer another group of Sam & Meadow pups! 💜
🤩IT’S CONFIRMED!!!!!🤩
We have a litter of Meadow and Sam babies due October 14th!
Thankful to have a minute “free” to put my hands in the dirt. It’s always extremely therapeutic for me.
Of course that means I’m 100% procrastinating on my real to do list for the day!🤭 Let’s not talk about that part though. 😁
I just needed an hour or so to play!🛝🙃
Thomas and I work full-time/overtime at our “day jobs” then come home and put in as much time as we can on our 1910’s “Manor”.
The fact that we call this 1600sqft complete overhaul a manor is 100% sarcasm. In no way is this house anywhere near being a manor….. YET!
We’ve been chipping away at this place for 4.5 years. It’s come a long way and by the time we finish with it, It’ll be the perfect little manor I’ve had pictured in my heart this entire time.
A face only a mother could love💜🤍💜🤍
I sure do love you Ivanka!!
This silly looking Red Pyle Showgirl Silkie hen holds a special place in my heart. Because of that, we are looking for a special home for her and her rooster beau, Troy.
If you are intrigued by this breeding pair, pm us for more details.
As we continue to downsize we will have more difficult “cuts” to make. If you are interested in a breeding age Silkie pair give us a holler and we’ll see if we’ve got the perfect Silkie friends for you🩶

Another black baby with moonspots joined the herd! Welcome little one! #farmlife #homestead #farm #nigeriandwarfgoats #nigeriandwarfgoatkids #welcometothefarm
Have you collected eggs that are “too pretty to eat?” Us too! We’ve started blowing eggs out to save them forever, and we hope this video helps you get started blowing out eggs yourself! P.S. if you aren’t getting eggs too pretty to eat, we can help with that! 😜
Mystery chick giveaway!
Thank you Wandercreek Farm!! I’m beyond excited! Those light tan eggs with brown speckles are even more gorgeous in person!!
Yesterday we added 7 Crested Cream Legbars to our flock from Greenfire Farms. Once matured, they will join our CCLB breeding program. This gets us one step closer to reaching goals. My how we love our chicken addiction! #crestedcreamlegbar #chasetherainbow #chickens #officiallyofficial #entrepreneur #chasingdreams #farm #reachinggoals #homestead #farmlife #cclb #greenfirefarms #legbarchickens #legbars #crestedcreamlegbarchick

As we look forward to 2023, we wanted to look at everything we have accomplished in 2022. Living on a farm, getting lost in the daily grind, it can be easy to miss the progress we are making! Compared to how we entered 2022, WOAH!! We have grown!! We have grown as individuals, farmers, business owners, a business, and as a family!! What a blessing to be living this adventure! We hope you enjoy this recap of 2022! We can’t wait to see what we can create in 2023!
We aim to raise our animals the way God intended, whenever possible. This includes moving our young birds outside during the day for some sunlight, bugs, and grass. Our Silkies have embraced this routine whole-heartedly! They love going outside, but these people-oriented babies are happy to hitch a ride on the Brooder Express each evening to return to the comfort of their toasty brooder! #chickens #silkiechick #silkiechickens #farmlife #homestead #spoiledsilkies #spoiledsilkiebabes #brooderexpress
We aren't counting our chicks before they hatch, but we are DEFINITELY crossing our fingers! We popped Miss Persephone's first few eggs in the incubator to test fertility... 😬 so far... 5 out of 5 eggs are showing signs of life! 100% fertility rate thus far!!😊Woohoo! What a great start!! Fun fact: we love our Marans, but their dark eggs make it so difficult to candle. It's really exciting to watch our silkie's eggs throughout the process! #farm #homestead #chickens #silkies #silkiechicken #eggcandling #incubator
Changes to a chicken business are slow, require careful planning, and months of preparation. We are looking forward to our 2023 season with lots of new, exciting changes! A few weeks ago we found these ISA Browns on clearance! These high-production, brown egg layers will be joining our laying flock, and we are excited to expand the eggs-for-consumption side of the business! Our demand for eating eggs has always been higher than our supply. We feel blessed to have this problem, and we can’t wait to share our pasture-raised, non-GMO, and soy-free eggs with even more customers next season! #chickens #chasingdreams #farm #homestead #farmlife #pasturedeggs
Celebrating another great hatch of French Black Copper Marans here on the farm!
