Teddy thought he might help with finishing out the the upstairs but after getting up here realized that it was going to cut into his nap time. Maybe later. - - - #pyrenees #greatpyrenees #dogslife

The three ducks are excited to be back together again now that the fair is over. Momo, the drake, insists that at least once a day they make their rounds and inspect the farm. They slowly waddle through the taller grass and over or around any obstacles and usually in single file line. Here they are checking in on the laying hens before heading back to their shady spot under the trampoline. - - - - #farmlife #farm #ducks #pekin #waterfowl #chickens #pasturedeggs #pasturedpoultry #pasture raised

It’s fair time again. Here is our little chicken whisperer during her showmanship contest. She was so relaxed and so was her bird. - - - - #4h #monroecountyfair #poultry #chickenwhisperer (at Monroe County, Indiana)

I think we need to get some larger ruminants, or just more of the same size. The grass is almost as tall as these two. - - - - #sheep #southdownsheep #babydollsheep #grassfarmer #pasture #regenerativeagriculture #rotationalgrazing (at Unionville, Indiana)

The egg drop is going down tomorrow! No it is not the kind where some break but rather the drop off where they will be placed gingerly in the refrigerator at the Bethel Lane Farm Stop 4741 E Bethel Lane. All of this careful handling and preparation so that you will have the opportunity to load up on some of the most delicious, healthy, and satisfying protein treats that nature has to offer. Packed full of omega-3’s and little drops of sunshine, your body will be so grateful. Not to mention how your taste buds will react. Pair them with some fresh spinach from @newgroundfarm and you’ve got a 5-star meal. So don’t wait - get yours today (tomorrow if your reading this tonight). - - - - #eggs #pastureraised #pasturedeggs #pasturedpoultry #eatfresh #eatlocal #knowyourfarmer #freshfood #fresheggs #farm #chicken #wholefoods

What started off as a less than desirable day ended up victorious. Yesterday evening while moving the egg mobile out of pasture to clean and update the roosts, the bolt holding the tow arm snapped. Luckily the arm bent the bracket and managed to lodge itself such that it stayed connected to the tractor and did not go careening into the ravine. With the help of a big pipe wrench, a pipe clamp and my neighbor’s impact wrench I managed to get it back together “good enough”. Now the girls won’t have to sleep under the stars again. Collecting the eggs today was an Easter egg hunt since the nest box was in the coop. - - - - #eggmobile #pasturedeggs #chickentractor #grassfedchicken #farmlife #tractor #farm #mobilecoop #chickenfarmer

I made a little time to explore the back part of the farm before the leaves start coming in. Every time I hike back here I tell myself to start doing this at least once a week. Then I let my mind get in the way and next thing I know a few weeks go by before I make it back here again. Here’s to change! - - - - #trees #creek #hike #forest #flower #fiddleheadferns #spring #water #turtle #sun

Look at that - the glass matches the grass. I know there’s plenty to do and when the weather is this nice I shouldn’t stop until dark. But since I’m considering this to be the first official weather day of spring I thought I should celebrate with just one glass. I hope all of you found some time to enjoy this amazing day. - - - - #beer #uplandbrewing #upland #grass #farm #duck #sunshine #wonderfulweather #chickens #drinklocal #localfood
