November 26 marks the date of birth for our first baby calf.  It's a girl!  So, this is the beginning of my herd and I have reached my goal of 6 cows this year.  My goal for next year is 10 adult heifers and an undetermined amount of...

Farming at Tillers International has worked out wonderfully. As I plan for the 2013 season I’m thrilled to offer  CSA. Below is some information from our CSA brochure and about what we plan for the coming season. If you have interest in becoming a...

Rain, rain, rain!

KaPa De'Le Farm   -   Dec 07, 2012 - By Karen_4

December 7, 2012; well "they" told us that the sun was going to shine today; but, it didn't.  It was a foggy, drizzly, cold mess all day.  On our little piece of heaven, over that past 4 days, we've had almost 7 inches of...
