BunnyGoat Farm In The Beginning Part 3

Part 3 of the survey of the small kitchen garden area of BunnyGoat Farm. The fenced area is only 1/2 acre of the full 37.

Well Now We Know the Pond Is Full!

Went out to the big pond in the pasture yesterday and spent about three hours fishing. Worms and bream hooks, nothing special, except we hauled in about 21 Bream and 1 Bass that weighed at least 3 lbs dressed.

The breeze was up and the temp was kind to us. Some clouds had rolled in and it was nice and cool. Sometimes the breeze was strong enough we couldn't see our floats on the water, but the fish were so eager we could have been in the dark and still would have hauled in a bounty.

Wild Food! Blessed Be!

It's A Start! And Local Produce From Friendly Folks!

The Loquat is planted; I spent a while with it sending gentle requests for a happy and long life! She'll have to be watered a couple times a day till it's established but then it should be just fine. I will have pictures tomorrow! Now on to fall veg... and the berries and grapes. Oh I built the second vine row today for the grapes, very exciting. BTW the sun at 6 was just beautiful, but we need rain so bad.

Plant Shack Co. Rd 6 Castleberry

Circle J Farms Castleberry 966-5631

I got the plants at the "Plant Shack" near L Pond outside of Castleberry, they have such a lovely tree nursery. On the way back we stopped at "Circle J Farms", they have local, fresh, flash frozen field peas (10lbs for $18 bought some!) they also have butter-beans, summer squash, local preserves, beef, sausage, and much more. They're really nice folks so go give them some love. 

I'm taking the afternoon off tomorrow to fish in the pond with Lee; hopefully he'll let me take his picture, what a curious and wonderful little man! Gonna be a blast and hopefully we'll get to see what we have swimming in the pond!

More survey problems and plans.

BunnyGoat Farm In The Beginning

Summer Fruit Smoothies!

In a blender; 1/4 cup plain yogurt, peaches, nectarines, watermelon, 1 tbs lemon juice, a little palm sugar or cane sugar if you like, not more that 1 tbs though. Blend, drink, grow more fruit then repeat! This will keep you cool and energized all day in this crazy Alabama heat.

I was thinking how cool it would be to open an organic juice bar at the YMCA here in Brewton featuring only fruits grown within 50 miles and dairy yogurt from local farms. What do y'all think about that?

Muddy Muddy Cows

My friends up north are getting crazy rain up there, but all we got is a mud pit. But here are some happy happy happy muddy hamburgers to brighten your rainy days!
