Can roosters go gray? Jensen Hackles has been our devoted protector for yrs now and I noticed recently his feathers by his comb are turning white. We’re all getting a little long in the beak 😂

These two escaped convicts are enjoying the nicer weather. When goats hit the “teenage” phase they’re tough to keep fenced 😂

The gals have been busy! Got over six dozen, plenty to get my other incubator set up 🤩🐣

I’m so egg-cited that my Easter eggers are laying again! 🤩 I love colorful eggs

Had a big day of baking and meatball making!

Anyone make garlic honey ferments? This is my first time and it’s bubbling a bit more than I expected. I sure hope it turns out 😊

Fermentation fail! The cauliflower and carrots have morphed into roadkill and farts. I’m a nurse and hobby farmer, so bad smells are nothing new, but this made me tear up!

More snow in Ohio so we’re starting some sauerkraut!

We’ve got emu eggs in the incubator, fingers crossed!

I think I’ve figured out the sourdough! I no longer discard, just add to and use regularly, and I leave the hooch. I started with rye flour which has been great!

Meet our turkey Bela (short for Bela Lugosi) she thinks she’s a lap dog

We recently visited a small local shop with an awesome pantry selection aptly named “the flour barrel”. We stocked up on milled goods, even some wheat kernels we hope to mill ourselves.

We started making goat’s milk soap over 15 yrs ago. Our oldest son had eczema and, despite using all of the recommend gentle soaps, we couldn’t find anything that didn’t aggravate it. This sent us down a rabbit hole, eventually leading to homemade soaps that we still love and make today

Spring is right around the corner, and we’re excited for the promise it brings and the work that we are still able to complete.

Hello! We are a small hobby farm in Midwest Ohio and love to share our goofy animals! This is our current house goat, Chai!
