This has been a great year for weeds and for flies. The turkeys are pleased. Perhaps this explains why the chickens have not been tempted into the onions this year. Our new broods of dark cornish and buff orpingtons have settled in outside and it's ever so...

The turkeys are growing big and happy. This time of year, we're letting them graze selected runs in the main vegetable garden. The chocolate turkeys have proven more succeptible to local predators than have their Rio Grand wild turkey cousins. Looks like...

Lots of folks have been asking about our (their) turkeys. It must be coming to that time of year when summer starts to end, fall is almost here, and thoughts of Thanksgiving start emerging from deep within.

The farm is diversifying and evolving. Got freezer beef? We sold out our pastured chickens in no time at all and will encourage repeat customers and new customers to pre-order so we know how many to raise. 2 young goats were processed and have been tried with...

It's so fun to watch the chicks! Whenever I go outside, some are resting, some are eating, and a few are running around. When they see me though, towering over them like a big predator or a hawk, they all run and hop-fly into a huddle....

This morning, I was awoken at 5:39 in the morning. The post office had called, and my chicks had arrived to get them. Dianna and I got dressed, and drove down to the post office. We range the bell at the back entrance, and, after waiting...

It's sort of ironic. Big Guy died last night probably right around the same time the first of his babies this year made its first peck at its egg shell and began the process of hatching. The circle of life in one hour. No poults (baby turkeys)...

Tonight, I went outside to do the evening chores. I took care of the chickens, and then headed to the turkeys. I headed through the barn as usual, turning on the lights in the stall to encourage the turkeys to come in. I went out the back...

Here at the ranch all the animals have jobs too. Their jobs are to do the back breaking work of clearing and tilling the land, at the same time fertilizing and spreading it too. The pigs have gotten more done then I first thought they would. They have to till...
