A Windy day on the Farm blew in thoughts on Jersey Heifers and Farm Fresh Eggs

It was a lovely day. I must stress that: LOVELY!

The temperature was fantastic, it was overcast and it rained. I adore the rain,
and the horses loved it today after just an unbearable week of heat!

It was one of those nice and windy storms fulls of vastly spaced, huge raindrops; the
kind of rain you can walk in and barely get wet.

Just before the storm, we were out and about around the barn.

Stella, down from her hillside, enjoyed some interaction with Christian.
She is the most friendly, loving heifer I've encountered.


She will hopefully be bred AI with sexed semen in the next 3 months. She is nearly 14 months old now.

She is a small heifer, even as far as Jerseys go. This suits us fine because we had originally wanted minis, but they are out of our price range.

The nuns from the Holy Annunciation Monastery in PA, where we purchased Stella,
came to delivery 2 mini Donkeys last week, and they were thrilled with Stella's condition and size. She is truly lovely Jersey!

To remind those who are local:

We have FRESH EGGS FOR SALE



Our hens are healthy and lovely. They are well cared for, get fresh veggies and grass and have a huge coop and a large outdoor run. They get out to free range sometimes, but to keep local hawks from picking them off, they are in their run and coop more often than not.

You can be sure, the taste of these eggs is SUPERIOR to any store bought eggs, and they are much safer. Studies show caged hens (cages so small the hens cannot move, and they never see the outdoors) have salmonella positive result 23.4% of the time. The rate drops to only 4% of Organic flock and free range flock is 3%.
Below is the conditions of the hens laying the STORE eggs:




Our eggs are $3.00 a dozen



The Donkies are here.
Justice and Jeremino: WELCOME to the farm!
