Oh, how I can't wait for all the snow to be melted! The weather lately has been about 50 or 40 degrees, so much better than the below 20 weather we were having before. :)
Now that the weather is getting better all our critters are exploring the pasture again....they actually can see some grass...and the ducks are LOVING the mud. :)
As spring is drawing
closer, our egg production is increasing, from our 24 girls we are getting
about 8 to 10 eggs a day!! We have two customers that we are currently selling
to, our first customer we sell 2 dozen a week to, and our second customer we
sell a half dozen a week to.
We would like to
increase our number of hens this year, so we will have more egg
production...both for our family and to sell. We have a good number of people
around us who would like farm fresh pasture raised eggs.
( Yes this picture is
of OUR eggs :D )
Gardening time is
almost here....there is a lot to plant, and we are so excited!! We already planted
all our onions, red, white, and green. If all of them take
we should get about 36 of each onion.....yes, we like onions :)
Throughout the next
couple of months we will be planting like crazy. I will be taking pictures and
will be doing a big blog post for you guys! So excited...I can't wait!
Until it's time to
plant all our seeds, we are storing them all together in here. It is a shoe
hanger, but it comes in VERY handy for your seeds and gardening tools!
Well, that's all for
now, I will be posting when it's time to get the rest of the seeds planted,
Happy Homesteading!
