Homestead Harvest News

November 7, 2018

We are back in the grind and preparing for turkey harvests beginning next week. Chainsaw work took precedent this week since there were trees on the electric line where the cows were grazing. Once the logs were back at the farm we used the chainsaw mill to cut boards out of the beautiful maple and white oak logs.

Izzy and Ferdinand moved to new pasture close to the neighbor's fence line. Izzy "chatted" with the male donkey who is normally very vocal in his courting. I believe this must be one of the silent mating rituals of donkeys. Video

We will be making deliveries to the Raleigh area this Friday, Nov. 9th. Please contact Jan if you would like anything.

The turkeys will be delivered to the Holiday markets in Raleigh on Nov. 17th and in Carrboro on Nov. 20th. We will have on farm pickup on Nov. 21st.

Once the cows figure out there is no juice in the electric line, there is no containment so we had wandering bovines!

Massive root ball! James and John are both 6 feet tall for perspective.

Farm Kid activities...The root will decompose faster if there are notches in the top to allow water to get in and make the wood soft. What better way to accomplish the goal?

The chainsaw cut that actually sat the root ball back in the hole was anticlimactic. I expected at least a whoosh and a thud. Video
