This is the time of year the hawks really start to focus in on our laying hens in their pasture.
It's just like clockwork. All of a sudden predators from the sky like this Red Tail Hawk start showing up and sticking around in hopes of a meal. They don't get very many though since our hens have lots of cover.
We are approaching the end of our flower season.
Come and pick up one of the beautiful bouquets for sale
at the farm stand this Thursday and Saturday!
Our Dahlias like this one survived the Japanese Beetle attacks this season
because the flower crew wrapped each one.
Now if that's not love for flowers......
Please stop by and see us to purchase farm grown products...

*Every first and third Sunday of the month
