Horses

Blog: Sweet Pumpkins Farm Stand   -   Monday August 15, 2011   -   By Donna

Yesterday was a sad day here on the farm. The owners of the horses here had sold them off to a stable in Orange, MA. I was stocking up the farm stand when the trailer came for the boys. My two horse friends were picked up and are now gone. The...

Horses are deer proof vehicles

Blog: At Home in Nature   -   Wednesday May 04, 2011   -   By Mary

The deer are beginning to enjoy the first flushes of green out on the Palmer Divide.   Even in Elizabeth.   It is now against the law to feed the deer in Elizabeth, but luckily there’s plenty for them to eat anyway.   It’s also against the...

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...

POKE ROOT PART TWO

Blog: Spices and Herbs by Elaynn   -   Saturday February 26, 2011   -   By Elaynn

Justice!

Blog: MM Livestock Co   -   Thursday February 17, 2011   -   By Megan

First let me say Thank You to everyone that has supported us through the crazy attacks we have been enduring for the last few months. The outpouring of love has kept us fighting and justice has partially been served! The person that killed my colt has been...

Those of you that have been here know my gelding Parkers Skip n Slide aka Big Red. Well, he has a mission. His Mission, to keep my best friend happy during her fight with stage 4 cancer. He is a kind horse and it was love at first sight for both of them. Jason...

101 Things to Do With a Tractor

Blog: Pleasant Valley Farm   -   Sunday November 07, 2010   -   By Emily

One of the things we're known for, and a point of pride for us, is that we do all our field work and hay making with a team of draft horses.  For us, this is truly what "sustainable" is all about; the horses help us to make the hay in the summer...

Old Horse, New Tricks

Blog: Pleasant Valley Farm   -   Monday August 16, 2010   -   By Emily

The Latest in Equine Seasonal Fashion

Blog: Wild Things Farm   -   Saturday July 10, 2010   -   By Terry

Whit and Buckshot (the 2 horses on the farm) are sporting a "shimmer weave" fly mask.......these masks are supposed to blend in and reflect the horse's natural color instead of looking like a Halloween mask.  I didn't choose them for that...

Country Girl, City Girl

Blog: Mott Family Farm   -   Thursday June 24, 2010   -   By Shelley

When I was little, I called myself a "country girl." No matter that I lived in a suburb of San Fransisco, no matter that we had neighbors 10 feet from our exterior walls, no matter that our house took up pretty much the whole city lot of 50'x150'. I...

How We Roll

Blog: Pleasant Valley Farm   -   Wednesday May 12, 2010   -   By Emily

I'm commonly asked how we control weeds if we don't use pesticides.  The rototiller and hand weeding between plants are the main tasks once the plants are up.  For other veggies, like peppers & tomatoes, we put down a thin layer of black plastic,...

Blog: Bloom Where You're Planted Farm   -   Tuesday December 15, 2009   -   By Teresa

Our snowstorm last week brought around 12-14 inches of snow, followed by bitter cold temperatures and single-digit highs.  While the cows, cats, dog and humans around here have been staying inside being lazy, the horses are having a ball. ...

I know where the goats are!

Blog: Pleasant Valley Farm   -   Tuesday October 20, 2009   -   By Emily

Since summer is fading and winter is on its way, lots of plant life is heading into its dormant state.  This includes the grasses in the pasture, so at this point in the year, the grass really is greener on the other side of the fence.  Some of the...
