We made it! 14 hours in the car with a 4 year old and a 2 year old and we made it home with two new friends of the farm. They are Lily & Jack, the Large Black Hogs that will be the beginning of our herd. Lily & Jack are 8 weeks old and came from the Dalan farm in Walla Walla, WA. Jon is working speedily to finish their home out back while they wait patiently in the comfort of the barn.
As promised the turkey poults are arriving daily, they sure are a noisy bunch. One can always tell if something is not quite right as the loud peep,peep,peep,peep,peep,peep seems to go on and on! Overall they are doing great, and the incubator continues to fill.
Out in the gardens it's raining, daily, which makes it hard to prepare the ground. We are anxious to get the potatoes in and just waiting for the moment when it's dry enough to till once more before planting. The greenhouse is giving us lots of fresh greens and the red head lettuce should be ready in about 4 weeks. Other areas of spinach, red & green lettuce and mixed salad greens should also be ready to pick in 4 weeks!
When we make those first harvests we'll be on our way to the Birch Bay Farmer's Market, thursday evenings from 4-7pm, so come see what Birch Bay has to offer!
