A Glimpse of the farm today.... as we prepare for the harvest festival here's our farm update:)
The Hoop Houses provide lots of lettuce...
What's coming up?
Carrots, beets, radishes, tomatoes, pickling cucumbers, garlic and onions...pumpkins are starting to turn and butternut squash too....
The cauliflower and quash are finishing up...
We've got:
4 Highlander Cattle (2 additional highlanders and 1 holstein were just slaughtered in time for the fall)
5 Rams (male sheep)
9 Ewes (female sheep)
7 Goats -Elizabeth says the are "lots of trouble but the fur is amazing"
3 Beehives of our own and another 5 that are owned by a local beekeeper.
2 Angora Rabbits - We hope they breed soon once the weather cools off. In the winter months they will live inside the greenhouse and their bunny breath (CO2) will help the plants to thrive.
Lots of "Layer Chickens" - producing tons of eggs that we sell at The General Store. "The yolks are BRIGHT orange". We have another 40 young birds who are 4 mos old now and when they turn 6 mos old they will start laying...eggs galore!
50 "Meat Birds"- Free range organic chicken that anyone can purchase right from the Farm. Yum! Contact farmer@ameefarm.com to inquire.
