days are getting shorter

milk sitting out to get to room temp to make butter and yogurt 

a nice walnut harvest with help from Nanna

After serval weeks of sickness, I'm back again. Of course the farm never sleeps. The rain is here to stay, farming is a rain or shine kind of job. The days are getting darker and we are already excitedly thinking about the garden next year, while still harvesting from this year. Fifi is back, without little Gordon, so we are back in milk.  Butter, yogurt and some simple soft cheese are back in the fridge. I'll never tire of seeing that milk from our cow sitting there with a nice seperation of cream. A lot will make it the garden and feilds this year, last year we had pigs who where heavily milk and whey fed. The chickens are really free range now with garden #2 full of meat birds. 

We went to the Winter Market a few weeks ago for the first and time and it went well, so I'll be there tomorrow with Grass Fed Beef by the piece. Thank you for supporting local food the more you support your local farms the more good local food you get. I better go I'm off to pick by head lamp for the market tomorrow. 

Baby's & Pumpkins go together like peaches and cream 

Happy to be free in the garden #2
