Happy New Year!

Blog: Pine Needle Farm   -   Friday January 06, 2012   -   By Ann

Happy New year!  2012 is going to be an interesting, fast paced year. We are having a very mild winter so far.  Our road is pretty icy now, a couple of sections you could go ice skating on.  The scariest parts are down to the bare gravel,...

Winter is coming, ready or not!  We've already had a brief dusting of snow.  I'm not ready yet!    Having help around here is a wonderful thing!  The goat pens are now cleaned, we are working on making some nice houses for them...

Blog: Bloom Where You're Planted Farm   -   Saturday June 18, 2011   -   By Teresa

As of yesterday, there are just 3 months left until opening day of the 7th season here at our southeast Nebraska pumpkin patch!  I can't believe how fast time can fly.  We've been very busy on the farm and finally got all our pumpkins, squash...

Hi, Everyone!  It has been an awesome year thus far!!!  I married Brad in February, went to Clown Convention 2 weeks later and have been serving and working alongside him since then.  We are very in-love newlyweds and may it always be...

Cashmere everywhere!

Blog: Pine Needle Farm   -   Tuesday May 24, 2011   -   By Ann

The cashmere I'm dehairing is starting to take over the house! Pretty soon I'll be asking my husband what he'd like for dinner with his cashmere. :-) I am really going to build a "real" dehairing room next year for sure. There will be lots of room for...

Just Be Still

Blog: Dark Water Ranch   -   Tuesday May 10, 2011   -   By shepherd

I am a shepherd of sorts, because I take care of a small herd of goats. These goats teach me a lot of things, usually things I’d rather not realize about myself. Jesus is my shepherd and often times I can compare things in my life to the relationship that...

All Creatures Great and Small

Blog: The Shire   -   Friday May 06, 2011   -   By Laohaire

We raise several breeds of cattle for specific purposes, Sussex for draft, Irish Moiled for milk and beef, British White for beef, Guernsey for milk, and Red Angus for beef. We also have some truly rare breeds solely for conservation. Galloway, Devon, and...

Belle's Babes

Blog: 3 Acre Farm   -   Tuesday April 05, 2011   -   By Janelle

Belle is a ‘Fainting’ or ‘Myotonic’ goat.  She has never ever stiffened up or “fainted” but her kids have done both.  Belle is very tame and will come up to me and rest her head on my leg for me to scratch or pet her.  She just delivered...

Fixing Fences

Blog: Show Farm   -   Monday April 04, 2011   -   By Donny

This morning I had to repair the Pivot and 1/4 mile of fence. Some fool decided to drag race down the side road and ended up in the riverbed. Serves them right!  Looks like this place is going to open its gates by July. All the new foundations...

I like to document the changes of the seasons here at Bloom Where You're Planted Farm.  Here is photographic proof that spring has arrived! Jasper and Emmett are enjoying the warm weather from atop their climbing tower.  They've grown a TON...

Meeting of The Minds

Blog: Dark Water Ranch   -   Wednesday March 09, 2011   -   By shepherd

I am sure this farm does not run like a well-oiled machine. Matter of fact there seems to be only one thing that every species of animal agrees on around here. Can you guess what that is? That is right F-O-O-D. It always has to be time for food. When is it...

Spring?

Blog: Dunlooken Farm   -   Tuesday March 08, 2011   -   By Bev

Is spring coming?  Of course it is, it always has. There are signs out there.  The buds on the cottonwood's buds are growing.  There are baby goats in the kid barn, a long line of milkers in the milker's barn, and even more big fat goats in the...

Little Dipper and Honey (my two Nigerian Dwarf Goats) were busy playing King, whoops, I mean Queen of the Hill as I went by with the camera.  We bought them with the intentions of breeding and having goats milk around to make great cheese and ice...

What to do with a pack of Cub Scouts

Blog: MM Livestock Co   -   Tuesday January 18, 2011   -   By Megan

Yesterday was MLK Day and in the spirit of service, an entire pack of Cub Scouts descended on the home farm. 30 boys under 10. We made trash sticks and lined all the boys up at the street fence, each was given a trash bag and told, "Whoever gets to the back...

Boring normal day on the farm!

Blog: Moonstruck Farms   -   Monday January 10, 2011   -   By Rowena

Started the day as usual, up with the husband, made his lunch, checked to make sure the girls were up and running...signed any forgotten school papers, made sure a good lunch was made, start a load of laundry and a pot of coffee!!  Drop Meghan at school;...

Happy New Year!

Blog: Pine Needle Farm   -   Monday January 03, 2011   -   By Ann

Well, it's hard to believe 2011 is here already.  2010 went by in the blink of an eye, it seems.  Lots of things happened last year.  Not the least, me getting my dream come true, a cashmere dehairing machine!   I am out there almost...
