Barn shortcut

19 Dec 200817 Dec 2008 by Mike (tfb)

A rear-end view of the cows leaving the barn has become a familiar every-morning sight. For the last few weeks, since the weather took a turn for the freezing, I’ve been walking through the dim lower barn, toting buckets of … Read the rest

Visiting down the road

18 Dec 200816 Dec 2008 by Mike (tfb)

Ryan, Corrie and their girls moved onto their farm this summer, new to the experience, and they’re already eating their own chickens, turkey, lamb and eggs, and managed to get some veggies out of a late-planted garden. CSA members last … Read the rest

All-weather chickens

17 Dec 200815 Dec 2008 by Mike (tfb)

A weird, one-day break from the cold, fully forecast a few days back, that came to pass. It was a little milder yesterday, and this morning, the temperature jumped, hitting somewhere around 10°C (50°F). Pretty tricky trying to walk around … Read the rest

Drive shed clean-up continues

24 Mar 201311 Dec 2008 by Mike (tfb)

You can see the back wall! The fairly massive, once-in-a-century farm clean-up continues, and the two-floor drive shed, home of a million parts and pieces of not-junk, is an action center. I can’t imagine how one could capture a real … Read the rest

Off-season visit

17 Dec 200811 Dec 2008 by Mike (tfb)

Lynn and her friend Ian dropped by for a visit today. Not quite the same as hanging out on a warm and sunny afternoon. But it was fun listening to Lynn happily chat about the growing season as we trudged … Read the rest
