It’s been….forever? since we had fresh eggs on the farm, and we are elated to have a new flock of hennies generously bestowing us with around a dozen per day again! We feed soy-free, non-GMO organic feed from New Country Organics. Our birds forage on grass year-round with a rooster and our livestock guardian dog,Continue reading “We have eggs!!”

I’ve been a member of a google group / email list devoted to Old Time Music for about five years. The conversation is always about music, no politics, no religion. Until this week. One of the members, an outspoken President Trump hater, decided to tell us all how much she can’t wait till Trump isContinue reading “Be prepared to lose some connections…”

I was recently inspired to reach out to my department of health to figure out the manufacturer(s) of the PCR Tests being used here in Virginia to determine a positive case of COVID-19.

One of the best things about 2020 was finding our Great Pyrenees, Opal, in Amherst, VA in March. Her breeder takes livestock guardianship seriously, and started Opal and her littermates on poultry, sheep, goats, and pigs. She also spent time walking them on the leash, and taught them all to sit “for love.” We hadContinue reading “Happy Birthday, Opal”

Editor, The News-Gazette: Why is Virginia still under a state of emergency? It is the state of emergency in Virginia that allows Governor Northam to mandate masks, social distancing, and crowd limits. But Virginia isn’t sick, SARS-COV2 isn’t as deadly as we feared and there is little evidence that masks are effective in stopping theContinue reading “Letter to the Editor”

After a trip this summer, and a lovely stay at the Morris Farm Market in North Carolina, we decided to become a HOST! What is Harvest Hosts? Harvest Hosts is a membership program that provides accessContinue reading “We are Harvest Hosts!”
