Time to get our war paint on and destroy this!


The season is starting to roll in with colors of the various things happening around the farm, the creamy white raw goat milks is flowing from floretta with ease now that Noel has master the milking process which i have to say is quite diffucult cause of her ability to react very suddenly to things. But the milk is great in dumpstered fruit loops and also in my coffee, but the milk will start to taste a little goaty after about three days in the fridge and we learned this valuable lesson after all our coffee was ruined one sad morning.  Our potatoes are starting to tower over the rest of the transplants that we are putting into the beds, but it is a beautiful canopy which hopefully will return to us ass loads of delicious potatoes. Just last week we started to transplant all of our plants that we could not sell at the farmers market, which has turned at least our hugelkulture beds into a polyculture in which there are many different plants in one bed to either confuse bugs or act as beneficials to the other plants.  Now when people stop by the farm and see these 4 ft. high beds they can truly start to understand why we took so much time to build our beds and not waste fuel in a fucking annoying tiller.


Owning a dog on a farm that is littered with animals of every shape, color and attitude is quite a tremendous stress when it comes to them tearing into the house that built and thought was sturdy, then maliciously ripping each and every bird apart that they can get their stupid paws on. But that is what happened last weekend two days in a row when a neighbors rotweiler stopped by when we were at the farm tour, the fucking dog was still in the house when we got back on sunday and we couldn't figure out wether to shoot it or call animal control. So we just left it in the house till the morning and it fucking escaped, but came back again the next day when we were gone but our neighbor donny captured it and called animal control. Now the owner owes us 22 live guineas, but next time we see a dog we dont know near our animals it is shoot first and ask questions never.

I started a garden in front of the wolves den and i started some of the seeds that i am going to plant in the front window and i have planted a couple of them in the beds but the others need some time, this is going to be my urine power/saving seeds garden so we will see how it all works out. But i do have to say it is pleasing to the eye to walk outside every morning to see some plants that rely on you and only you just sitting there soaking up the sun and enjoying the breeze. So i am calling everyone to start a small garden cause it is easy and delicious, plus we need more people growing there own food or we will all starve soon.
