The Contender beans are in, but it may be too hot still for them to be happy!

End of Sept!! The summer cover crops are have come and almost all gone with the summer heat. We have harvested about 5 lbs of cowpeas, which now need to be shelled. Read about the community project invitation that went out to the public school…a Youth Voice Project.

Happy Homesteading,

Snack Time at Bent Pine Farm

Around 4 PM we collect the eggs and give snacks to the livestock. They always greet us happily and are excited to get their afternoon snack. The geese wait patiently at the gate from about 3:30. (How do they know what time it is?) When they see us coming they head back to the pen to be ready at the feed trough. The goats come running from the far end of the pasture. The chickens gather round and everyone “accompanies” us to the Cricken Choop where the feed is stored.

Happy homesteading,
