Foust Family Farms

Once again, a BIG "thank you" to all who stopped by the farm this year and purchased our deelicious produce....and to those who just dropped by to say "hello?" - please call ahead and please LEAVE those pets at home...or at the very least, in your vehicle.

I thought I'd never see my free range chickens again, after that one kid's black lab chased my flock into the woods. Me and that boy spent 1/2 hr.  searching, w/nary a sign of them. You'd figure a red-colored hen would "stand out." Nope. Fortunately, they showed up later that evening at the coop. None seemed harmed - though, no eggs for a couple of days.

This past month was first time I've seen wild turkeys wandering about in field back of the house. Counted 20, one day. And one afternoon, they even "sauntered" through my backyard. However, since deer hunting season started I've only seen one Tom. He was standing out in heavy rain near the chicken pen. I threw him a handful of feed, but he was too skittish and walked away. Wish I could have gotten photos of all of them. But, they always seemed to appear when I was busy and no camera at hand.

Bees looked to have enuff supplies for upcoming winter, but I think I'll feed during any warm spells, just to be sure.
