I’ve been taking a few photos around the farm during puffy cloud days, which we’ve had quite a few of lately. I’m a fan.

Blue Skies in July … Briefly
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged farm photos, pastured pigs, weather, wildlife on July 11, 2016| 1 Comment »
Everything is lush and green right now here … it rained yesterday morning and it’s currently raining with more in the forecast, so it might get a little soggy again. At least I don’t have to irrigate, and the lettuce is happy!
The pigs like puddles, and apparently it’s fun to run back and forth through the old hay ring that my dad rigged up to provide shade for them (see below).
Our builder finished up the porch on Friday (thanks, Steve), but Elden is now putting up the ceiling in there, so it’s still a construction zone.

I took these photos yesterday evening, but we all got so much done today that they’re outdated already! At the bottom is a video of the piggies for the pig lovers out there.

Finally, we got some nice weather. We also got a gift of some hoof-in-the-bucket-type milk from my favorite dairy goat farmer — I figured the pigs would love it, and they didn’t disappoint me. In the 2nd clip, I started taping before I got to the pen because usually they’re excited to see me, and then done bouncing around by the time I get the camera out.

Fall Feels Funny
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Cover crop, farm photos, my family, weather, woods on October 1, 2013| 2 Comments »
It did feel like fall for a bit, with cool nights and warm days, but then it warmed up and it hardly feels like fall. It’s at least starting to smell like fall, though — I walked the little trail my dad made in our woods on Sunday afternoon and enjoyed the aroma of decaying leaves. Despite a couple of frost warnings, the temp hasn’t dipped below 32 degrees, so I’m still picking cherry tomatoes and peppers, and I even picked eggplant out of the hoophouse yesterday. The onions and squash are curing and the cover crops are doing great. I’m running the air conditioner in the walk-in cooler and holding off on harvesting potatoes and root veggies. We’ll enjoy the warm weather while it lasts.

I tried to get some “big picture” views of the fields for those of you who can’t visit the farm, and some photos of our flowers, which are peaking at the moment.
Speaking of fun, the pigs do enjoy their big pen — they really have room to bounce around if they feel like it, which they often do around 8 pm or so. This year’s pigs seem to prefer their oats to field peas, though my mom pointed out that since we’ve been giving them some snap pea vines with overly-mature peas on them, the field peas might simply pale in comparison. They’ve received a few worm-eaten tomatoes from the hoophouse and mouse-chewed cucumbers from the field, and they gave me the pig equivalent of a thumbs up on both of those treats, not surprisingly. They also really seemed to enjoy the bottom leaves from the rainbow chard plants.

Dry in July

It’s been pretty dry around here — the quarter inch or so we got over the weekend helped, but I’m hoping for more rain in the next few days. The plants are doing well overall, and I’ve been taking some “glamour shots” of the veggies when I think of it on harvest days. I also got a cute video of the piggies munching on their oats and field peas, which I’ll upload soon.
