Chickens enjoying my vegetable plate
|
My little vegetable garden provided so much for us this season and still is. Even for the chickens!
 |
| Farm Transport |
When the babes are tired I carry one of them in my ergo carrier on my back, the other in my arms or high up on the stroller. My basket or chicken scraps go in the stroller. Just like a bag lady!

| Zucchini Pickles and Sauerkraut |
I didn't realize that I had planted so many zucchini plants so we have an abundance of them. I've made zucchini chocolate cake, fritters, we've grilled them on the bbq, raw in salads and now I've made quite a few gallons of pickles and they are yummie. I have lemons, zucchini, cabbage and kombucha fermenting in the kitchen. Loving all the cultured foods inspired by
Cultures for Health.

| Harvesting Garlic |
The twins helped harvest all the garlic. It reminded me of the story The Giant Turnip, we all held and pulled.
 |
| Quite a bit of garlic |
My garlic is flavorful and juicy! I may pickle some.

| Stocking up on fire wood for winter |
A friend told us about this
site where you can become a host for volunteers, which we did. We've enjoyed the help and wonderful company of volunteers from all over the world. They work on the farm and we provide food and accommodation. They learn so much from the farm activities. Many of them have never had a farm experience before. The work is hard and yet enjoyable they leave feeling stronger, healthier and sun kissed.

| Herb and Vegetable Garden |
I saved some seeds I found in a wild flower garden full of Calendula in France and threw them out in my garden. They grew so rapidly. I love their golden blossoms, especially when they find their way into my herbal salves and teas.

| Friendly Alpacas! |
We borrowed a friend's Alpacas for a couple of weeks to help control some of our weeds. These, however were a little spoilt and only wanted Alfalfa but they enjoyed roaming the farm and being farm pets for a while.

A view of Ross lake on our trail ride

Every Sunday we ride out into the National Forest land. Once over to the other side of the mountain we enjoy this view.

Sania was playing around with the camera taking pictures of little Chloe.

We all have so much fun with the volunteers.
