Wild Mountain Honey

Our first honey harvest!

We finally finished our first honey harvest - almost 100lbs!  Our first go at the extractor was interesting - we have a "starter" kit with a 3-frame extractor, and with four full boxes of honey (40 frames total) that makes for a lot of spins and one tiring afternoon.   

It's a perfect amber color - definitely a keeper for next year's fair.  :)  Check our Market page for prices and availability.



Wilbur & the gang of 3

Wilbur is doing great.  He's putting more pressure on his hind leg and his boo-boos have healed nicely.  But, now that he has a name it makes it that much harder to accept his ultimate fate in the circle of life on the farm.  So, we now have three piglets:

The other two don't have names.  One will be sold and one will be, well, you know (bacon).

Coop d'Ville

The blue coop is 90% completed!!  :)  All that's left is to build out the roosts, nesting boxes, and outside pens.  Brady finished the gutters and water tank yesterday, and the baby chicks have settled into their lush new accommodations. 

Fall on the Farm Party

Brady and I are planning a little fall bluegrass party on the farm next month.  Keep watch here for more information!

What's Blooming
Purple sage (bees are loving it!), butterfly bushes (last of the season), and a rose bush is blooming in the back yard.  Oh, and the hummingbirds are back!
