Plastic Off & Plastic On

Spring is one of the busiest times of year on any farm, but it is always welcome after the waiting of winter where most of the work is indoors. Now it is time to get out in the field and start prepping the soil, tunnels, and seedlings for sunny days!

The hens are happy to see the snow gone (maybe finally, but maybe not, this is Montana) and to get onto fresh ground and dig for worms and chase butterflies!

I'll be in Libby tomorrow, Friday April 10th, with eggs and microgreens at the drop off from 12-1230pm at the Fireman's Park parking lot. If you want the quickest, easiest pick up with the most amount of social distancing possible, order and pay online (plus you'll be able to secure your order early! The rainbow eggs sell out fast!)

Plus, I'll have some homemade cotton masks available free for those who need some and can't get to sewing. They are made with some fun & funky fabric that was planned for more hen saddles, but the hens will have to wait.

Stay safe & healthy!

At the end of last week this is what the fresh 6" of snow looked like. Thankfully, it didn't stay long since it's time to get planting!

The hens are eager to officially start roaming! The first step towards that is to remove their plastic covers that keep the snow out and the tethers that kept the runs from flying away in high winds! A few more 'winter time' modifications to remove and they will be ready to roll!

While planting and field prep is just getting started, the final runs & huts to let the barn chickens roam are just getting finished!

Bae is really getting into their fermented whole grain feed!

Hella, aka the shadow kitty, since she always likes to be near where I am working. Plus she finds the comfy spots, like here on the chair next to my loom which is always covered with the llama fabric so she can't climb onto the weaving and play with the yarn.
