The sun was out all day and the animals were feeling it! Tom and Jerry were sparring over their one hen. In one corner, Tom was just trying to mind his own business, fraternize as usual and get on with his day. But not on this day. Jerry took a MAJOR exception. (Jerry is the Black Spanish). They danced and pranced … [Read more...]
Wildlife at Martin Tract
All these incredible photos are by JK: Martin Tract neighbor and wildlife aficionado! Just look at the view she got of these Blue Birds. These are from photos JK took at the Plainsboro Preserve, but she sent me one yesterday (not as clear) of a ‘Blue Boy’ on our fence post. I have no idea if she was … [Read more...]
Cows at Martin Tract
I moseyed on over to the Martin tract the other day to see what was happening with the cows, sheep and chickens. The sun was out and the mercury was hitting the mid 50s. A perfect day for animal watching! As you can see, the cows were doing their thing – neck deep in hay. The desire for a different view prompted … [Read more...]

Just look at Orlando and Brett with their new charge! Because the foxes and coyotes are on the lookout, they decided … [Read more...]

After posting this offense on the Brick Farm Market Facebook page, I am preparing for the wrath of the Irish, drinking my Guinness. Molly and Ian, you’ll be happy to know I … [Read more...]
Waiting for Spring
I took a trip over to the vegetable fields the other day. As you can imagine, there is not too much going on with the soul crushing record-breaking snow/ice/freezing temperatures. The real action begins when the earth is soft enough to dig into. Below is Charlton gazing out at the snow. Mostly there is planning … [Read more...]
They Grow So Fast
One amazing thing about pigs is their ability to reproduce – and grow – at lighting speed. The gestation period for a pig is 3 months, 3 weeks and 3 days – ON THE NOSE. We do have some piglets just born over by the solar barn. Here they are peeking out of their enclosure… These little guys above are probably 2 weeks … [Read more...]
Did Punxsutawney Phil See His Shadow or What?
Feeling the Need to See Something Green? We know we are looking forward to warming sun and tall grass in short order. Following are some farm photos from springs past, where the fields are lush, the animals are content and the word ‘Polar Vortex’ has no application. Enjoy! … [Read more...]
