While there is no snow currently on the ground at 4 D Acres, and there has only been a light dusting of snow earlier this winter, we wanted to share the answer to what is a common question in the winter.The question is regarding emus in the snow, although...

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 here, and came with a bang!

Blog: Pine Needle Farm   -   Saturday November 26, 2011   -   By Ann

    Winter is here, and it sure came in fast!  We got 16 inches of snow in about 12 hours.  Spent two days digging out, then got 9 more inches!  Thank heavens most of it melted this last week, down to 5 inches.  Friday...

Getting Ready for Winter

Blog: Pine Needle Farm   -   Wednesday October 26, 2011   -   By Ann

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...

Here goes...what a different year this is going to...

Blog: Moonstruck Farms   -   Monday March 28, 2011   -   By Rowena

Well we are buying seed by the ounce and by the pound...big difference from last year.  150 feet of snow peas went in today instead of 20 feet like last year....100s of feet of squash, melons and green beans are planned.  We have radishes with greens...

Punxatawney Phil Was Wrong

Blog: Black Dog Farms   -   Monday March 28, 2011   -   By Kevin

Darn. I think Punxatawney Phil was wrong this year. I really do. Everyone's favorite little furry guy came out on February 2nd and did not see his shadow. That is only supposed to mean one thing, and that is only 6 more weeks of winter. Looking at the...

The Cold Continues...

Blog: Fitzgerald's Family Farm, LLC   -   Monday March 28, 2011   -   By Sharon

We've had cold, cold, cold weather and not a drop of  maple sap for quite a few days.  A grainy, icy snow still covers the ground and the poor robins congregate at any open areas of grass in search of a meal.  The snow covers the food of the...

Spring!

Blog: Harvest Haven Farm   -   Wednesday March 16, 2011   -   By Sherry

Spring !! It seemed like it would never come, and yet...... There are puddles everywhere, not the gentle puddles left after a light rain, but the deep mud filled ruts that splash water all over your car as you slowly drive through them. Yesterday...

Will It Ever End?

Blog: Fitzgerald's Family Farm, LLC   -   Monday March 07, 2011   -   By Sharon

Schnee, neve, nieve, sneeuw, niege ... in any language, they all mean the same thing... SNOW! And I think I can speak for most folks around here when I say,  I think we've had  enough !

Testing...testing..snow!

Blog: Moonstruck Farms   -   Saturday February 19, 2011   -   By Rowena

Okay the winds were a real test on the overall structure, but now we get to find out what the snow load is on the single layer of polyethylene...came home from church and dinner and found 4 inches or so already built up and decided not to take any chances and...

Weather Outside is Frightful

Blog: Wild Goose Farm LLC   -   Tuesday February 01, 2011   -   By Meg

Batten Down the Hatches! It looks like we're in for a big storm tonight and tomorrow. Schools have planned an early release and my off farm job called to let me know not to come in to work tonight! Hurray! Snow day! So what shall I do with my new found...

Winter is colder this year?!

Blog: Debbie's Garden   -   Saturday January 22, 2011   -   By Chickadee1

Winter is colder this year than it's been for a while! Or maybe I just forget from year to year? I compare it to having a baby in some respects, as you forget about the pain as soon as you see those beautiful green "baby" shoots coming up out of the...

Brrrr....Happy New Year!!

Blog: Debbie's Garden   -   Sunday January 16, 2011   -   By Chickadee1

Hi all, and a HAPPY NEW YEAR from Marietta, Georgia.  A week ago we got the worse snow storm we've had in a long time! I got about five (5!!) inches at my house, my daughter received 6 inches and she's thirty minutes north of me.  Not a lot to...

Chickens in the Snow

Blog: Free Range WNY Chicken Eggs   -   Friday January 07, 2011   -   By Brenda

I was surprised that our chickens had such a strong reaction the first time they experienced snow. Our hens have free range over our yard all day long and they are tucked away safe and sound at night from preditors. I was surprised when we got our first snow...

Snow!!

Blog: Moonstruck Farms   -   Monday January 03, 2011   -   By Rowena

Believe it or not I prefer snow around here...especially since we rarely get more than a foot or so.  I think we are at about 8 inches now at most, but it is still slowly falling!! It becomes so quiet that you feel like you are wrapped up in a big blanket...

Farms's Blanket

Blog: Sinemus Farms   -   Thursday December 30, 2010   -   By Herman

December was more like January in the weather department. Here's hoping it will make for an early spring, the likes, we have not really seen in a few years. I can remember some years when March was a lot like April, but it seems so long ago.  ...

End of the Year already!

Blog: Pine Needle Farm   -   Thursday December 16, 2010   -   By Ann

It's hard to believe it's almost Christmas already!  This year has gone by so fast.  I'm busy dehairing cashmere now.  I've been doing this for two months now.  It is literally the slowest process on the planet, but I am thoroughly enjoying...

Baby its COLD outside

Blog: Ebersole Cattle Company   -   Tuesday December 14, 2010   -   By ShanenEbersole

Well, we avoided the weather for an extra month.  But Mother Nature shure wolloped us this weekend.  She blew in 30 degrees colder with blizzard conditions.  So when most people were snug inside staying toasty - most of us farmers &...
