  • What’s up Wednesday – 4/30

    We have a BIG weekend ahead of us! If you follow our blog you know that the My Manakin Farmers Market opens this weekend. We are so excited to be a part of this market and look forward to starting the routine of having 2 markets a week! On top of that we have 3… Yes THREE… products debuting this week. Tomorrow our May soap will debut and on Saturday we will be debuting our scrubs and bath teas to our market customers! The scrubs and bath teas will then be available on the website next weekend. There is so much to look forward to!

    The rain from the last few days has turned the farm into a giant pond. I am going to have to swim to the barn for farm chores tonight. While I normally don’t mind the rain I’m looking forward to a dry weekend.

    Finally, this up coming Monday starts the fencing extravaganza! Kevin is taking the week off of work so we can fence off the buck pasture as well as a new pasture for the girls. I know the girls are going to be so excited to get ahold off all those brambles that will be in the new pasture.

  • What’s up Wednesday – 1/15

    It’s been a rainy week on The Freckled Farm. The farm is one big muddy mess. It’s been like this for weeks. The ground never has a chance to dry out before another drenching rain comes along and makes the whole situation worse. The pasture is in horrible shape and I worry that it won’t recover this spring. It’s causing problems all over the place. I don’t remember it ever being this bad. I practically have to swim through our backyard!

    Yesterday it rained most of the day. Doing farm chores in the rain is miserable. The kids are usually stuck in the shed the whole hour and I have to just tough it out and get soaked! Luckily, yesterday it stopped raining and the skies cleared up moments before we went outside. We were only outside a few minutes before a thick fog started to roll in. It was so beautiful.

    As soon as I finished farm chores (because the goats weren’t going to wait) I ran inside to get my camera to capture the fog. I have included some of the pictures that I took below… I know, I know, some are duplicated. I just could not pick between the color and black and white on some of them… I mean, could you?
