being thankful




It is the day before Thanksgiving and there is snow outside! I am not the biggest fan of winter, but we had the day off and it is the perfect excuse to relax, stay warm in pajamas, and work on fun projects. I have been working on a new logo design to accompany our tinctures and teas, which are ready for packaging, and thinking about how much things have changed recently. 

In the last three years we have jumped head first into the farming world with an eight month internship, started our own farm journey, learned to build cob houses, relocated into town, refocused our efforts into herbal medicines, planned two weddings and gotten engaged! I am happier now that I have been in my entire life, and I have so much to be thankful for!

Thankful for my parents for giving us the opportunity to follow our dreams.

Thankful for Jonathan's mother, Penny, for always supporting us- above and beyond.

Thankful for my sister, Amy, because I couldn't make it without her. She is my best friend in the whole world, my rock, my lifesaver, my oxygen mask; she has saved me more times than she knows.

Thankful for my amazing fiance, Jonathan, and this new chapter in our lives with our cute little apartment on the river. We feel so at home here, already. 

I am thankful that every day is another chance to live.

What are you most thankful for this year?

Until next time,
Angela Kelly

puppy play date

Yesterday Trilli got to have a puppy play date with her best friend, Oreo, and a new boyfriend, Yeti. Everyone in our group has a dog or two, so socializing them is essential. With several large breeds covered in our pack, they can be a bit much at first. Oreo (the pit bull) is quick like lighting, nudging the others with her nose and batting her paws. Trilli (husky and lab) loves to play but has the biggest mouth, constantly barking. We're working on that. Yeti is a basset hound and great Pyrenees mix, still growing and just beautiful. He got along with the girls wonderfully, outside taking turns pouncing on each of them. It's great to watch a pack of dogs together, it's so natural for them, their own kind; friends.  Hopefully next time I'll remember to bring my camera! Until next time, Angela Kelly

a few lessons in rabbit husbandry

We now have two years of experience under our belts raising rabbits. We have learned a lot of useful information already, but we are far from experts. That's the thing with farming, with raising animals, you will never be done learning. Bring it on. As of today we have 17 rabbits in our little group, and the more animals you have the more likely you are to have problems. Here are a few of ours: the girls The first problem we had is with the smallest litter we have, which we have had in a large dog crate on the grass. They are starting to get pretty big, and coming of age, they are starting to get a little frisky. This is bad news bears. I was out watching them and saw three boys ganging up on one girl, so in a hurry I fixed up a cage and moved her into it. She was visibly shaken, breathing quickly, her hair a mess with tufts pulled out (that was the first sign I saw that something was going on.) The next d...
