May Newsletter and Open House
We hope you are having a wonderful spring so far! School has ended for the summer over here (except for the ubiquitous math) and we are in full swing with spring activities. We have all remembered how hard it is to get moving again after a long and somewhat sedentary winter! So, we will update everyone on what is happening with all of the animals on the farm, as well as some special events including an open house on June 4th. Animals first, as they are the focus of so much activity.

Spring in January

So, we went about doing some chores to get ready for the certain return of cold weather and the imminent birth of baby lambs.

How to find a cheap chest freezer
We’re pretty good at coming up to random people and asking them if they’d like to buy a pig, lamb, or some other animal.

If you’re one of these people, then you really need a stand alone freezer.
