A lot has happened since my last post. So I will, hopefully, get you all caught up to date soon. But for now let me tell you about our farm.
We moved here with some intentions on getting some animals but well might I say we have kinda gone hog wild. First we all as a family thought long and hard on a name for our new home and farm. We came to agree it was fitting to name our farm- Round House Farm.
The reason for the name is part of our home is a round house. It just seemed to fit. We all love the name. First we were really wanting to start with chickens as our first animals. So we started with a lot of research on the internet and by reading books. When we thought we had enough knowledge we made the purchase of our first six chicks.
Within the first few days we soon realized six would not be enough so we went right out and bought six more. We soon fell head over heels in love with our new flock of babies. Chickens are one of the greatest part of our home, we just love having them around. They can make you smile and laugh they just bring you joy in so many ways.
My husband worked hard and made a great chicken coop for our new chickens and they seem to love their home. Our chicken flock now is about 30 chickens, some babies and some full grown layer hens. Fresh eggs for our family is the only way. The daily droppings they give us provides us with the best fertilizer for our garden. It all just works out perfect.
My husband and son worked hard on our garden. We decided to place the main garden in our front yard it is were we have sun for most of the day. We want our farm to have an old time look and we want to use our resources wisely so we decided to make the fence around the garden with the timber we cut from our land.
The garden has come along way and we watch it grow everyday.
Our main goal for our new farm is to have it provide for our family. We are well on our way. It takes a lot of work. My husband works every minute on one thing or another, we have a list that is never ending. But I am sure it will pay off for our family three fold.
