Rain Fresh Harvest

Rain Fresh Harvest

I went on a tour of the Rain Fresh Harvest green house in Plain City, Ohio. I loved it! Such nice people, and a great place to look around! Barry answered so many questions everyone had, was very knowledgeable and was over all it was a wonderful tour!  


I suggest supporting him, and I hope that if you are near his business you'll top and take a look! While you are there, I really hope you get a chance to meet his sweet, lovable, adorable chocolate lab! :P 


Here are a few picture's from my tour.

Amy Mattingly of West Liberty, Ohio has been a wonderful help in my project for my Urban Homesteading. She is letting me work alongside her on her projects and teaching me more about organic gardening, soap making, candles, ect. 


Although I've only worked with her a few times, I am really enjoying it. She is such a nice person to know and I so look forward to getting to know her better!! 


Please, please, take a look at her site and consider some of her products. She has a wonderful selection and is so knowledgeable. 


Here are some picture's of her Guinea Fowl. 

The babies have landed!

We now have 10 snug kits. Our beautiful doe, Shesta, from my later post delivered yesterday 5 little kits. Then today another one of my does, Ginger, kindled 5 kits as well. Here are the babies from Shesta, as I have yet to take picture's of Gingers litter.

Around the farm everything is going well. Recently I've decided to take up a small hobby of fixing up old furniture and making things from window frames, ect. (picture's will come later). I, at the current moment, am fixing up a pair of old window shutters to become a pretty garden display.

I have a demonstration coming up for 4H in one month and I am pulling together those details. My demonstration will be titled "A trip to the Farmers Market", where I will teach my group about the farmers market and things sold/bought there. I have many wonderful ideas and I'll post picture's once I am done!

I'm trying to plan a trip to a beef cattle farm at the moment  too. 

I think this is all for the update right now. Hopefully everyone is enjoying reading my blog! I know, I don't post often. :(

Lambs

A HUGE thank you to Woodland Dorsets, the Woods family for giving me a tour of their lovely farm and showing me their animals to help with part of my 4H project!! 

They maintained a herd of about 20 animals, all very well kept and healthy. This family raises and shows them, but was more than welcome to let me ask questions about lambs in general. Thanks again Woods family!! :D

Rabbits

Well rabbits in our barn are ready to kindle soon, and here is one of our little broken black Mini Rex does, Shesta preparing her nesting box. She is due next Thursday and she's always been a good Dam for me! We also have 4 other does due on the same day, one doe due the next day and then we have 8 does due early next month.

These rabbits do not produce meat for us, they are my show animals and they produce manure for the garden. I sell the non-showable animals to a cull man and he pays me for them. With that money, I pay for my herds feed.

Onions

We dug up some Onion plants last Saturday and are going to put them in the smaller garden.They've been growing in the same spot for about 4 years and every year we've just tilled over them not realizing what they really are... now we realized it and plan to keep them!!

Here are the beauties!

Spring

It's finally here, and I've spent some time taking some picture's recently! :D Enjoy!
