Fall Happenings

I can't believe I haven't posted since May, so much has happened. The farm has just moved along, even though our summer wasn't so great. We only have 2 more farmers markets left!
Produce deliveries are done for the season and we are starting to button up things for winter.
We already have 6 garden rows cleaned out, only 15 more to go, woo hoo! Have our last batch of meat birds, our Thanksgiving turkeys, our last butcher hogs and our steers all go to process in October. I am hoping November is a quiet family month. Kids are back at school so we have volleyball and football games to attend, along with farm work. Somehow it is all getting done, thank god for the good weather this week. Our surprise this week, a rogue hen who doesn't stay in the coop hatched out 11 babies, what a wonderful fall present. Already planning on changes to the farm next week, and getting ready to plant 10# of garlic for next summer harvest.
