Homestead Harvest News

Here's looking at you! The herd hangs out at the water fountain discussing the office gossip too. Video

As we wind down the commercial sales on our farm, there are 2 farms we can recommend for your continuing meat and poultry needs. The first is Oak Ridge Farms in Zebulon. The farmer is Doug Duong.  Doug hosts a farmer's market on his farm on Saturdays. The second is Happy Hen Farm in Louisburg. The farmer is Stephanie Hall. Stephanie will be attending Midtown Farmer's Market this season on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month.
Birds
Our front porch continues to be the nursery for baby songbirds. The new nest appeared in the hanging fern, lined with white dog hair. At least something is finding value in all the shedding! Video
On one of my walks this week I found a hummingbird on the side of the road (below). After a time of recovery she flew off.
Beating the heat
I overflowed the water trough for Ferdinand. He enjoys the mud bath. Izzy is just Izzy. She doesn't like me to have a hat on. Video 1  Video 2
The last pigs went to the processor this week. They walked on the trailer as if the farmer actually knew what she was doing. Perhaps all those years of mistakes taught us something.
More Corona Projects
The trailer makeover continues. The green trailer is now black and has reflective tape. The old axles have been replaced with higher weight rated axles and better rims which required moving the mounting brackets and rewelding.
