Just a quick note from the farm:  Christmas is coming!  Finally, I think (and hope) we can take a bit of a break from a very hectic farm year.  I will be filling in all of our readers very soon on our productive summer.  In the meantime, a Merry Christmas to you and yours in …

Spring and Summer

July 29, 2016 0 Comments

Since this is a farm blog, I have tried to leave out a lot of personal details.  Trying to do that has been quite futile, I must say, and has led to either some very boring posts or simply just a lack of them.   Not that our farm is all consuming of our life (well it …

  We will have a limited amount of pastured pork available in the fall.  Reserve yours soon!  We will be feeding them organic pasture, vegetables and wild apples from the farm.  They will also be supplemented with GMO-free grain and organic milk.

New Farm Residents

Last month we had the pleasure of welcoming our newest farm residents:  a flock of 15 beautiful Katahdin sheep, given to us by a generous family from our church.  We also bought a livestock guardian dog.

One Year On

One year ago, we started this blog and launched our Welsh Hill Farm website.  We have learned a multitude of new skills, fallen flat on our faces many times, cried with frustration and with joy and had our idealistic ideas turn into real messy, dirty life.  I was trying to think of a list of …

An Autumn Melange

October 16, 2015 6 Comments

My original plan for this blog was to give a snapshot and a bit of a ‘how-to’ as well, of small farm life. So instead of topical posts that I never get around to writing, I am going to switch to rambling updates on everything going on.  It seemed that every time we got into …

Gardens & Children

Wow, four children makes life really busy.  I am sure that statement is not a new revelation for most people, but I have found the last couple of months to be crazy.  Once again, I am doing a lazy post and just giving a quick update on the farm. First off, all our goats are …
