The lambs have arrived, the milk is flowing, and we are making cheese! Our CSA doesn’t start until June, but the farmstand is open Wednesday & Saturdays (9-5 pm) until September 22nd! We will have cheese, herbs, yarn, and frozen lamb (ground, legs, shoulder, & stew) available all season as well as copies of Jessica’s…
A Winter Blessing!
It is stormy today and we are cozied up inside. True winter has arrived and while there is no snow on the ground, the days are short and wet and cold and we are all moving slowly around the farm. How are you feeling? How have you adjusted your holiday traditions to meet the needs…
We Love Our People!
I talk a lot about the animals and the herbs around here, but people are a big part of our farm as well and I learned a long time ago that I can’t do this alone. However, sometimes it’s hard to ask for help and with our animals, especially, we are extremely protective. Running a…
Time flies…
August is almost over! It’s hard to believe September is just around the corner and we are already preparing the farm for the off-season. It is also hard to believe this is the end of our third cheese season. I remember, not so long ago, when I was pregnant with June and dreaming about what…
It’s July!
Well, I guess I knew this would happen. I was on a role there for awhile with Farm Journal posts and then summer happened. Once the milk starts flowing the days start flowing by, too. FAST! Since my last post, we have been in our normal (hectic) summer routine of milking, making cheese, and growing…
Harmony Fields Farmstand!
We are excited to open our farmstand this year for you to come by the farm and pick up cheese, herbs, yarn, wool, and lamb! Due to COVID-19 we decided to limit our farm stand days to Wednesdays and Saturdays 9-5 pm, starting May 16th! It is a self-serve stand that we will be checking…
Staying at Home-Part Four
“Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.”-Rumi Today is Earth Day, the 50th Earth Day to be exact. My birthday is a few weeks away and I will be 41. I was born 9 years after the first Earth Day and…
Staying At Home-Part Three
More lambs arrived this week and they are keeping us VERY busy. We let the moms and lambs out on pasture for a bit and it was fun to watch them sprint around in packs, finding their own legs. We enjoyed the “pink” full (super) moon on Tuesday. It was huge and popped up over…
Staying At Home-Part Two
At this point I am not sure how many parts this series will have, but I am excited to get back to a regular writing and posting schedule in the Farm Journal. I was going to call these posts “Lambing During A Pandemic,” but considering that social distancing and self-isolation practices could mark our entire…
Staying at Home-Part One
We have been on the farm, minus a few trips into town for groceries or animal feed, for about two weeks now. Our Governor just mandated that everyone ‘stay-at-home’ on Wednesday. The first report of COVID-19 in the US was in WA in January and we have just been watching the numbers grow and spread…
