We have been blessed by many glorious days of Indian summer lately. It gives us extra time to cut, split, and stack the four cords of wood we burn over the winter. There are still some beets and carrots in the garden which I’ve left in on purpose...

We love autumn and October in New Hampshire is especially beautiful. The maple trees’ leaves slowly turn to glorious hues of reds and orange, making the sky look so blue and the grass and fields so green. The air is wonderfully crisp and dry and...

When I think of farms that have livestock, barn cats always come to mind. Because of all the feeds and grain that are stored, mice, rats, and other rodents would become rather prolific without the assistance of a good cat or two. I have always been...

We’re having such a great time with the alpacas. They do have their individual personalities and over the past month, we’ve begun to decipher them. As I’ve mentioned , Julio is the self-appointed guard and leader. When he heads out into the...

I was inspired by Alpaca Farm Girl’s Amigurumi Fiber Arts Friday and had to try it out for myself. I have a short attention span so I ended up making small things for my cats and dogs to play with.
Cat toys are stuffed with a bell,...

Farming is a metaphor for life. Everything that happens on a farm –
birth, growth, harvest, successes, failures, and eventually death –
happens in real life as well. In most jobs, we expect to have

Our first week of raising alpacas has been basically, blessedly uneventful. They’re such quiet and peaceful animals. Not that we were expecting them to be constantly animated, but after a few hours we were saying ‘hey guys do something! ’ ...

When I first got into alpacas I moved them around in my 2 horse bumper pull trailer. After all I was a horse person first and it’s what I had. However it became apparent that a different mode of transporting alpacas was needed with the crazy gas...

Our dog is just wonderful and we’ve done an excellent job at spoiling her. She just loves the attention and is happy all the time. But now that the alpacas have arrived, suddenly she is sullen, clearly jealous, and not too thrilled with us!!...
