Duck Days Out

For the past few months we’ve been raising free range ducks. IMG_2733

They are swimming in the pond and generally making a mess not so good at weeding but they do like slugs.

They are silly and lots of fun. Now they are prizing winning. Its great because we all put a lot of effort into raising the them and its nice to place them.

Field Days

IMG_2370Spring is here and its time to plant. A great day hanging out in the afternoon sun and we’re digging it. Planting potatoes and taking out the weeds, hanging out with family and having fun.

Just imagine what we can do next.

Winter Wonderland

IMG_2128The trees are beautiful sunshine in the snow. Ice crystals floating lazily through the air. great snow for making igloos and snow angels, towers and playing for fun.

 

We love it here its so nice to be outside even when its cold the winter air is so fresh.

Thanksgiving Fall is Fair

Its time to harvest and be grateful. Some of the vegetables and art we grew at the farm won prizes at the 2013 Brackendale Fall Fair.
