Breeding season! I’m working on two breeding programs. I’ve mentioned the Ancona chickens, but I’m also doing something with my Muscovy Ducks. My chocolate ducks are great, but a little undersized, so I’m breeding them with some larger ducks. Still Muscovy, but these are Black, instead of Chocolate. I picked up a male and a [...]

I started, in January, attempting to make a pair of socks, for myself, each month. I only made one knee high in January, but did complete February, March, April, and today I finished my favorite so far, my May socks. This may be the last pair for this monthly challenge. The other knitter that was [...]

What a day! Work in the morning, followed by moving a new rabbit hutch from a friend’s house to mine. The structure was originally a chicken coop, but it’s basically a 4×8 box, with hardware cloth floor, wood and chicken wire walls and chicken wire roof, on which sits a piece of plywood. Very basic, [...]

Okay, bear with me here. I have a fabulous book recommendation, but it’s title is unconventional. I’m sure the author very much intended this to be the case, but as with many things that we really should be more comfortable with, we aren’t. The book entitled, Holy Shit: Managing Manure To Save Mankind, is all [...]

Fiddlehead season is over, in my little patch of the world. The, now ferns, are mocking me in a field of green. Yes, they are the ones that got away. I did pick 30+ pounds and have enjoyed them immensly. I understand them better, I will be more prepared next year, and I’m thrilled to [...]

Spring farm work has begun! I took down the growing pen for the chickens by myself, so I can move it somewhere other than under my bedroom window. That was a bad idea, since they start crowing long before they are ready for butchering. The upside to that location was the ease in which I [...]

What a week…or so! I got very tied up with work. I’m running a sale, and over the weekend had a show…oops. Didn’t think that through. The upside is that I managed to do both, pretty well, I just had to drop everything else. But I’m back to life as usual…whatever that might be. What [...]

Clementine was taking an afternoon rest, while one of her little ones took a nap. The micro greens I planted a couple days ago are doing nicely. They are enjoying the afternoon sun on the front steps. There is tat soi, arugula and orach in this tray!
She Ate a Local Breakfast April 3, 2011

This morning we herded the kids out to the car…yes, little girls, not goats, “yet”. We headed to Kittery Maine for a breakfast that was hosted by Slow Food Seacoast and Tidewater School. What a great time. The food was an impressive spread of all local ingredients, yes all local! Buttermilk Pancakes made with Buttermilk, [...]

I really never thought that I would ever say, “I am in a rut with my rabbit, and need to change it up.”. I hadn’t even eaten rabbit until last year sometime…okay, maybe as a little girl I had wild rabbit, once. But it’s one of the family favorites, and Istra’s hands down favorite. I [...]
