We harvested some turkeys yesterday and found this...I cleaned out the gizzard and after i tossed the inner lining that holds the rocks and things to grind the food, I found this! A nail stuck in its gizzard! I had to investigate further so I pulled the nail out, and cut the gizzard open where the nail had been lodged and found more rocks, feed, and some other stuff I couldn't identify all inside the gizzard but outside that sack that holds this kind of stuff. Crazy! This is a new one for us! Turkey was acting fine and healthy too.

We harvested rabbits this week! Out of 13 rabbits, we got 11lbs of ground for some bunny burgers, tacos, and maybe chili 🤷🏽‍♀️ and 7lbs in roasts! Rabbit is fairly easy to harvest and the meat is light in flavor. Bacon is rabbit meats best friend 😋

Bunny burgers are first on the menu for tomorrow's lunch 🤤

My boys and I doing some of the morning chores! Luke stole a sip of my coffee while I pushed the wheelbarrow... stinker 😄 and Nate insisted on sitting in the wheelbarrow so he could hold the bucket of grass.
We're bringing in the fresh goat milk, and taking the meat chickens their crumble and the bunnies and guinea pigs some yummy wheat grass we've grown for them with some alfalfa hay.
These guys are such good helpers! On their way to being some awesome Farmer Boys ❤️ I'm a proud Mamma!

We still have openings!

This is a skill we've developed over the last 8 or so years since we first started raising and harvesting our own livestock for our family. We had a pretty rough start, with only YouTube and stories of Grandmas making Sunday chicken to show and tell us how to harvest yard birds. After a lot of mess ups, fails, and then finally successes, we became confident enough to show others with hands-on participation how to harvest a Cornish Cross Broiler chicken. We feel its a calling to provide this service to others, so they don't have to go through the process alone or make the same mistakes that we've made in the past.
If you're curious about raising and harvesting chicken for you and your family, I encourage you to register! We've had folks take our class just to see if they're really able to do what needs to be done when harvesting you own livestock. Some are empowered with the knowledge, and go home with confidence, ready to harvest their own chicken. Others have found that it isn't something they can or want to do after all, but they were still glad they came to find this out.
We're excited to meet folks eager to learn a new skill in providing for themselves and family.
Have a blessed day ❤️

Have you ever seen or heard of the rampicante squash? This is one of the kinds! Rampicante means vining squash. These get giant too! It can get up to 4 ft long! The one we harvested here was about 3 feet. The rampicante is considered both a summer squash and winter squash and can be harvested young at any time! It can also be left to mature on the vine until the skin hardens and turns a solid beige, and treated as a winter squash similar to butternut. The plant is pretty hardy for an heirloom variety in my opinion. It taste great too. We sauteed it for a brunch with ham and eggs. I also lacto-fermented a few jars to see if it pickles well too, so we'll see in a few days. I have high hopes!

When the kids finally stop eating all the figs we bring in daily from our fig trees, I'm finally able to make fig preserves! What better way to use fig preserves than putting in into some yummy fried okie pies!
