Raspberries and Black Berries

All of the raspberries came from plants started by our son. We did harvest about three dozen last year and are hoping for a better harvest this year. We purchased the blackberries about a month ago. They are just starting to show some growth.

Vegetables

This plant appeared in several places on the farm last year and was back with warmer weather this year. Want to guess what it is? I’ll give you a hint- there is a song written about Annie and this plant. There are several names (maybe I should say translations) for this plant. Poke Sallet, American…

Caring for Pygmy Goats

Pygmy goats actually need very little attention if they have enough grass and briars to eat, a source of clean water, and some form of shelter. They usually require one injection a year, (which your Veterinarian will give or you can pick up the injections at the Veterinarian’s office and administer per the instructions). The…

Mushrooms

The first step in growing mushrooms is to decide what type of mushroom you want to grow. We started with Oyster mushrooms and then expanded. Each type of mushroom grows best in a specific type or species of tree. You don’t have to go cut down your trees, but you do have to locate logs…

Birds of the Farm

We have definitely had some ups and downs with the birds of the farm. The Guinea fowl experiment was a complete failure- NOT ONCE, but Twice. We raised 24 birds, moved them to the Guinea House- they escaped and were never seen again. We reordered, raised 24 birds to much bigger birds and allowed them…

Blueberries 3/24/23

Most of our blueberries were fooled by the early spring. They bloomed and set fruit. Unfortunately, the freeze affected them. Here are pictures of some of our plants today. Hopefully, they will bloom and set fruit again as the weather warms up. This if the pear tree we planted last year. It has five different…

Flowers at the Farm

Today we put in our first two beds of flowers. Below are pictures of the flowers at the farm last year. We will name the flowers and planting instructions and care as we plant this year. Zinnias are our new all time favorite. They grow in bad or good soil. When the leaves turn brown,…

Meet our Goat herd

Prior to the arrival of the triplets on March 8,th, the farm had 7 female Pygmy Goats and one male. Skippy is on the left. She is very shy, but will definitely eat from your hand. Coke Case, our male, is on the far left. Our smallest Pygmy’s are Einstein and Tsunami. Both will most…

Pumpkins, Figs, and Jalapeño Peppers

The heat has caused many of the pumpkin vines to shrivel, so Bruce and Craig harvested two of the larger pumpkins. The long pumpkin weighted 72 pounds and the round pumpkin weighted 32 pounds. Both of these are Atlantic Giants. This variety of pumpkin is capable of reaching 2,000 pounds, but that achievement takes a…

The bears and fawns just keep on coming!

(and a few pictures from a friend cruising in Alaska) The trail cameras caught this picture on August 18th on a field called Wagon Wheel. This appears to be a mother bear and cub. Mom has no ear tags or collar which means she has not been trapped by Mississippi Wildlife and Fisheries yet. Below…
