White Christmas Snow

Started snowing at about 6pm Christmas day and we woke up this morning to a winterwonderland. Chickens dont have much grass and weeds to peck on, so in addition to their scratch feed, they got a bunch of goodies from the Christmas dinner table. The girls were tearing up the scraps of baked sweet potatoes, bread, leftovers...
Me being cheesy out on the bridge.

Love on a chicken.


Honey Bee Hives...Been reading up on how to make our own lip balms - already named it...Back Bay Bee Balm (but of course -lol!) and cannot wait to do that this spring. Something fun for our future B&B guests to create right here on the farm and take home from their trip. Ordering all the supplies now. Especially Happy we have our own hives since I saw 1lb of beeswax for $18..at the craft store.
Looks like Narnia


Property is bordered by water on 3 sides that leads to Back Bay Wildlife refuge. So pretty and quiet in the snow.


The Garden that is completely covered.
Hydrangeas covered in snow.

Dumpling finished the final roofing board up on Christmas Day, just before it started snowing. Now on to the ordering of the roofing materials. Hope to be installed by the end of January.

A Big Thanks -

Thanks to All our Egg Customers in 2010!






















We will be expanding in 2011 to add even more chicks (heirloom breeds - including some chocolate egg layers, with dark brown shells)

Also in the works is our Rent-A-Chick Program for the spring. Kids will play a part in helping raise baby chicks for a few weeks and then return them to the farm.

Our stand has been Chris's mega-project for the winter and will be completed in the spring 2011.

We are looking forward to expanding the flower selection and are browsing though the seed catalogs for some rare tomato types as well!

Happy Holidays From the Farm!
