It was quite the storm and the animals did just great. Phillip Haynes took this amazing photo of the pigs at the height of the blizzard. Looks like a scene from The Revenant! But, pigs being pigs, they rooted deep and were able to get to the ground in no time. And now that the snow has cleared somewhat, … [Read more...]
A Snowy, Windy Day at the Farm
Like the rest of you, this is what we woke up to this morning! First things first, we needed to get the loader started with jumper cables, or the whole day was going to go south. After 1 hour of digging (#whoneedsagym), we could finally get close enough and…success!!! And now off to the check on the sheep in the … [Read more...]
When Will the Snow Arrive?
We have visions of snow lingering from last year… Snow, ice, and cold were set on ‘repeat’ until long into March 2015. Now, I’m not calling for that same sub-zero effort by mother nature this season, but just a bit of the white stuff would be welcome. Especially by my kids… And the sheep like it because it … [Read more...]

Wandering out in the pre-dawn hours with the temps drastically warmer than they should be means wonderful opportunities to take pictures. The mist floating over the fields puts a quiet blanket over the farm. Walking out of the gate with the dogs, they hesitate because they can’t really see what’s out … [Read more...]
Blue Herding the Sheep – a Progress Report
So Blue went to ‘camp’ this summer for 2.5 months (much to the dismay of our kids) and came back a changed dog. She stayed with Bruce and Ruth Schock in Canada and learned how to herd the sheep. She loves working!! When we got there, Bruce and Ruth let us get reacquainted and then – it was off to the races – she … [Read more...]
The Turkeys Are In!
I know everyone has been waiting anxiously to pick up their pasture-raised, heritage, hormone-and-antibiotic-free, local, FRESH Thanksgiving turkeys. Well, this is the week! The turkeys that were ordered (and some that are as-of-yet unspoken for) are at the Brick Farm Market, ready for pick up. The crew worked … [Read more...]
