As parents, we can’t complain: it’s been a summer’s worth of beautiful cloudless days and endless activities for the kids outside. But as farmers, it’s time for a little, or perhaps a LOT, of rain. Maybe just a day of flooding, soaking, relentless, Armageddon-style rain. I mean, all these sunny days can be … [Read more...]
Full Moon and Turkeys in the Tall Grass
So it was a full moon the other night and this is what we found on the patio. Not sure what this Praying Mantis is doing – but I like to think it’s praying to the full moon…for RAIN! Jon and I went over to the turkey enclosure to let the group out for the day. Jon decided to mow some paths for the turkeys who get … [Read more...]
Afternoon Walk in the Sheep Pasture
We took a late day walk with Sarge in the sheep’s pasture. It was beautiful day – with perfect light and a gentle breeze rustling the Queen Anne’s Lace. The sheep are used to Bea and guard dogs in general. And some are even used to Border Collies. But they did not expect the full throttle energy of Sarge (a pit … [Read more...]

Blue Update and Pigs on Pasture
This summer, everyone gets to go to summer camp. Even Blue, who will be attending ‘sheep herding camp’ in Ottawa for August and part of September. Not sure how she’s going to feel not sleeping on our bed (and chewing my shoes and digging up our flower beds…), but she’ll have to adjust. We think she’s going to love it! … [Read more...]
Flowers and More at the Vegetable Fields
Yesterday in the stinking heat, I went to investigate what was happening at the Ralston Farm outpost on our back fields. (Ok, I went to see how my beefsteak tomatoes were doing.) Bennett has a great staff of seasoned veterans and summer interns who were out picking and communicating about the day’s harvest and the … [Read more...]

Well the piece, Escaping the Cube, finally was aired and it came out well. No massive errors, miscues or flubs. I think they did a great job telling our story in words and pictures. Hope you like it! We're so happy they chose us to be the subjects of one of their episodes of Escaping the Cube. Turning to other … [Read more...]
