We decided to freeze dry the rest of the apples we picked from Almar Orchards. None went to waste! We will have to make another trip there soon to get some more of their tasty apples 🍎

We are so grateful all of the animals were okay after severe weather and strong winds. This could have been so devastating.

We had some severe storms roll through the other day that had some strong winds. By the grace of God, all of our chickens and geese survived these branches falling out of the tree.
There was some pretty significant damage to the roofing of the big chicken yard. However, the most important part is everyone was okay.

We've been well overdue for a fresh loaf of sourdough bread! On top of making a delicious sourdough pie crust for the apple pie we made, I also made our yummy sourdough sammich bread. 🍞

Over the weekend we visited another local organic farm and picked some fresh apples from their orchards. They had their 'you pick' event.
So far, we've made an apple pie with sourdough crust and started an apple cider vinegar jar with all of the scraps from the pie! 🥧
Thanks Almar Orchards!

Ozzie says the grass wouldn't have died if we played with the hose more 🤣

As if I didn't have enough critters to care for 😂🙃 we're now raising some Monarch butterfly caterpillars. I had found several caterpillars before watching the butterfly land and lay the egg that would become Goliath. Sadly, the caterpillars I left behind were captured by Bald Faced Hornets. Which is why I decided to take in Goliath and ordered a larger habitat immediately. I have been supplying fresh milkweed everyday and hope, even if it's just one or two, that we can release them once they become butterflies.

If you've ever wanted the benefits from home grown veggies but don't have the space for a garden, you're in luck! Sprouting seeds is super easy and fun! The best part is all you need is a little counter space! We do it for us and our chickens, they love the sprouts too. Micro greens are super dense in nutrients and some are even more nutritious than the veggies they produce!
