We have had a successful duckling delivery!! We are selling out of eggs nearly every day - but have honey and herbs for sale in the store. I am around through the weekend and happy to show folks these cuties. They are Rouen ducks. We have a new duck coop coming and the hope is to have them settle in for three seasons safely at the small pond. The goats are still a pain, but people seem to enjoy seeing them too. They are outside most days - in a pen they can’t escape. My youngest daughter, Sarah, is home from grad school for the summer and happily helping on the farm - a nice break from social work! I am actively looking for the right fit for the fall. As cute as these ducks are, retiring from my day job isn’t happening for a few years!

On TUESDAY 12/5 from 2-4 pm we will be hosting a Holiday Open House. All attending educators will leave with a holiday themed potpourri pouch. We will have a short presentation & announcement regarding our new partnership with Bootstrap Compost. Learn about food waste composting & the alignment to MA curriculum standards, field trip opportunities on composting, potpourri gift making for the holidays, or hands on, age appropriate activities with our rescue animals. And you can always buy fresh duck or chicken eggs! (Great for making fresh eggnog!) falalalalala

While I am in DC trying to make sure we have excellence (and measure it!) in public education at my first NAGB Board meeting, these girls arrived! First new rescues in a while - Elizabeth is home and thanks to Luke & Donna!! Also … they have no names. My creative friends get your thinking caps on before the have K-Pop names !! They will be in isolation for 30 days (from other animals) then we will see how they mesh with Remy & Nigel. Come visit!! Educator open house announcement coming soon!

Cold farm morning!

I was determined to do a long blog update and post today … but for the billionth day, work, kids, errands & life got the better of me. However, I did get these early morning photos! My favorite time on the farm. And today, with the heavy frost, it was especially beautiful and tranquil. The animals were all snug in the barn and we are excitedly preparing for both some upcoming school field trips and …. New rescue arrivals!! Stay tuned. Pre-Thanksgiving delivery of two sweeties who have been needing a new home ….

A lot going on at the farm - read my blog post!

Fall has always been one of my favorite seasons on the farm. With our stunning views of the Taconic Range and the sun's movement further north, we get gorgeous foliage and even more beautiful sunsets. And the pace of work starts to slow just a bit as the grass (and weeds!) grows more slowly. It seem...
