I’ve been so busy this week I haven’t had time to cook supper. Even though today was a perfect day to fix chili I made a lasagna before work. Made with our own pork, one of Lane’s deer from last winter & homemade pasta sauce I had canned a few summers ago. Nothing like a home cooked warm meal at night! What yall having for supper? (Here in the south we call it supper by the way)🍅 🍽️

We like to keep the old ones running around here. Proud of our ‘97 Dodge Ram flat bed. Had to take picture other day while it was clean. We’ve raised our own 🐷pork for several years. So when I ran across the “Eat Pork” tag I had to grab it.

He will be driving it Friday night in the Christmas parade pulling our pink trailer! 🩷So y’all be on the lookout for us! 🎄🤠 November 22nd @ 6:30pm!

Meet Bocephus! 🖤🐰 He’s our Black Otter Mini Rex buck. He doesn’t travel with us when we have mobile events so unless y’all have visited our farm you wouldn’t have seen him. I’m always in awe of his dark rich color. 🖤 We gave him a nesting box this morning just so he can get in there to stay warm. Calico, Reese Cup & Bocephus all live in our Bunny Barn. Bunnies don’t like to get wet. They need to be protected from wind, rain & snow. We have fans in the bunny barn for warm weather months.

Mini Rex are known to be sociable & friendly. Each rabbit has their own distinct personality. They can live up to 10 years!

Everyone always loves our bunnies! They’re the softest little things! Comment below if you’ve met our bunnies.

🎄✨ We’re thrilled to announce Garlan Gudger as the Grand Marshal of this year’s Cullman Christkindlmarkt Parade! Join us on November 22nd at 6:30 PM as Gudger leads the way through downtown, sharing in the magic of the season.

"Growing up in downtown Cullman, some of my most cherished memories are watching parades as a child. Those magical moments shaped my pride in our incredible hometown. The Christmas Parade is like a Hallmark movie brought to life—filled with wonder, joy, and the excitement of the season. Seeing kids light up as Santa arrives and the community tree glows brings me back to those unforgettable childhood years. I’m so grateful to be part of a community that works so hard to make Cullman the best small town in America." - Garlan Gudger

Beverage Donkey Milo♥️🫏💍💐

Did yall know we offer this service? Milo did his first wedding Saturday night! He was the beverage donkey. A lot of people around here aren’t familiar with what this is. It’s basically a cute little mini donkey with a saddlebag full of drinks. It serves the same purpose as a waiter or waitress serving drinks. And bonus you get to meet Milo & get pictures with him! He served drinks Saturday night during the cocktail hour. Here are some more ideas of where a beverage donkey could be used at:

~Weddings
~picnics
~corporate events
~birthday parties
~fundraisers

These were just a few snapshots we took. Can’t wait to see the professional pictures. We all got wet from the rain but the party must go on. Looking forward to doing more events with Milo. This little donkey is so precious. Everyone that meets him loves him. Thanks to this sweet bride Lauren, that wanted Milo on her special day!💙🫏

We got to help this little girl celebrate turning 2 years old! Lots of fun doing our first mini mobile birthday party!🥳 Thank yall for inviting our animals! 🩷

Who we brought:
Milo-mini donkey
Nova & Bee-Nigerian dwarf goats
Teddy-babydoll sheep
Reese Cup & Calico-mini Rex bunnies

Send us a message if you’d like pricing for our “mini birthday party package”. Great choice for the littles.

We’re getting ready for another busy weekend of events! Doing some “first” events tomorrow & Sunday. Do we work 7 days/week? Yes. Do we love it? Yes. The months of January & February are slow due to the winter weather. So enjoying the busy season while it last!

We have so many people that say that the kids around all the animals make them a nervous wreck. We love it. We see all the good that comes out of it. We focus on that & the rest falls in place. We have 3 kids ourselves so we are very used to them.

We both work outside of the home. I’m a RN & Darrin my husband is a machinist. So getting to be outside & sharing our animals with others is a real blessing!

Stay tuned to see what all we do this weekend!

Addison Elementary Fall Festival last night! Look at all these precious smiling faces! These kids learn a lot about all the different animals when they come see them. Some got to brush, hold, ride & feed them. We got to see lots of kids we have gotten to know over the years. This was where we had our first mobile event on 11/3/22!

Thanks to our sweet little helper Brenleigh. She loves all the animals & even volunteered to help us break down at the end of the night.

Milo had lots of attention. He’s always a rock star at our events! Lots of kids got to sit on him. (Not the right saddle for that but we improvised.) He tried out his new pack saddle he’ll be showing off soon. (More details on that later.)

Thanks to Z & Darrin for helping me. It takes a village! Thanks to Mandi Lake & Addison Elementary for the repeat business! 💙💙
