Temporary Fencing

  This winter has given us a lot of snow, not more than usual but enough to make our fencing inadequate for our goats. Life got ahead of me this fall and I didn’t plan for all the snow that would be coming. Our electric fence is now completely buried and of course the goats took the opportunity to escape. We’ve now been busy setting up … [Read more...]

Meet ‘Momma’

Chickens are said to be the gateway animal into the farming/homesteading lifestyle.  We started with ducks, but chickens weren't far behind.  Once you have them, it's hard to imagine life without them. Momma is definitely the matriarch of our flock, she's the boss and everyone knows it. I wanted to shine the spotlight on Momma because of her age, … [Read more...]
