Surprise!


We've been eating homegrown potatoes fried in olive oil with other organic homegrown veggies and spices for the past two days. They are amazing and now that summer is in full swing it's easy living off the land. Already we are thinking about fall and winter and planning what to grow next in order to have a decent harvest year-long.

FIRST EGG!!!

Super good news, this evening as I went to clean the chicken ark I found a wee little egg in the nest box! Earlier today I noticed some commotion when one of our Belina's was busying herself in the nest box scratching away and clucking softly. Didn't really suspect much more than the usual chicken antics but to our surprise and amazement, its finally begun. What a HUGE day for a hen! (not to mention us too!)

Home grown food tastes like nothing else! It was definitely an enormous treat to finally see the fruits of our labor (not easy as we are still (re)learning much of what it takes to produce a sizable harvest). Thanks for your comment, Stephanie, and a happy Summer!

-Cheers!
