Our alpacas love a water hose bath during the summer. When they see us filling up the water troughs they run straight to us as fast as they can! 💦
My son sent me this video of the 9 baby goats running and frolicking today….incredibly cute!!!
☀️SUMMER ANNOUNCEMENTS☀️
We will be having our first farm camp for kids on July 1st, 2nd, and 3rd from 9-12:00. More info and registration coming this week! The camp will be for kids ages 5 and up. This will be a wonderful opportunity for kids to learn about animals, farm life, as well as have fun! Cost will be $85 each and we are partnering with Blooming OT Tools who will be supplying fine motor farm themed sensory boxes for kids to make and take home during the camp. The fine motor sensory box is included in the camp price. We are so excited to plan this camp and have kids here on the farm!!!
For those who have asked about our hours. I work for the school system so next week will be my last week and then I’ll be on summer break! I will offer a public farm tour once during the week while I am out for the summer. We would love to have you guys bring your kids and families out to the farm this summer!!! Most all public farm tour times during the week will be in the mornings before it gets too hot. Each week will be a different day depending on my schedule. I have 4 kids that I look forward to spending my summer with and helping take care of my parents. Please follow our page as I will post dates for each week that I will be open for the public!
I’m also looking at the calendar to figure out a date for the special needs population which is near and dear to my heart. Last year we had a free special needs day and it was a huge success. We are looking forward to giving back to the community again this year. This event will be a day during the week as we have found that group homes and places of that nature are better staffed during the week and are able to bring their clients out on field trips. A date for this event will be coming soon!
We look forward to celebrating the summer with you here on the farm 🐷🐐🐴🐓🐖🐔🦃
We turned the animals out on the pasture for a few hours yesterday…..from the looks of this video you can tell how happy they were. We had to plant the pasture and keep them off for about 4 weeks. They have been staring at the pasture patiently waiting for us to turn them out. The cows were so happy they were running and bucking after they ate for a little bit. It brought me pure joy seeing them enjoying this pearl millet.
We hate to do this but we are canceling our farm tour tomorrow. We had a bad storm blow through about an hour ago and we got a ton of rain and lots of limbs and a tree down. The area where our animals are is a low lying area so it flooded quick with the amount of rain that fell in such a short time. All of the animals are safe and moving then to higher ground.
Please share this post. I will look at the calendar to see when we can reschedule. Thanks for your understanding ❤️
You can add baby goat delivery assistant to my resume 👏Maple’s first baby presented butt first and she pushed for an incredibly long time before we decided to intervene. Special thanks to my friends Cody and Cithaly for helping me pull the baby and assisting with getting the baby to breathe as it was born lifeless. They had stopped by to visit the baby pigs and called me to let me know that Maple was in labor. There truly is nothing more precious than witnessing the gift of life and seeing breath put into an animal or our lungs from the good Lord above. So thankful to be present because if not these cute babies nor their Mama would have survived. This was babies 8 and 9 for our farm. Both sweet little boys 💙💙
