Farm Happenings for November 2nd, 2018
Where are the flea beetles!? I don't know that I have ever seen bok choy look this good. Not one flea beetle to be found. These are the pests that riddle the leaves with holes and can 'skeletonize' the leaves. They were brutal this spring but now they are no where to be found! I'm very1 read more »

Rise 'N Shine Goins' On - Week 19, August 25th
Hens are moved! We pulled an all nighter and moved 3,500 laying hens! I was not sure how it would go but our plan worked great! Only sad thing is that I think I got a little pooh in my mouth!
