 We have a flat-egger on the farm: 4 eggs so far with the exact same flat-side shape.
This chicken missed all the #MoonJoy, the Earth-rise and Artemis II photos. Suggest we include a chicken in the next flyby to the Moon! #flategg #moonjoy #pasturedeggs  “It is a beauteous evening, calm and free,
The holy time is quiet as a Nun Breathless with adoration; the broad sun Is sinking down in its tranquility;” A #farm #evening in the #paddocks, we are all breathless with adoration. #pastured #eggs Photography by Mario --from the poem “It is a Beauteous Evening, Calm and Free” by William Wordsworth  Find our hidden Easter eggs!
In one dozen this week, we have replaced the 12 raw eggs with 12 colourful, hard-boiled Easter eggs. The lucky person to find the Easter eggs dozen will receive a complimentary hamper, with the best pastured eggs in NSW and some chocolates, to celebrate Easter in style. Hint: look out for our 700g dozen package in retail stores. If you find the lucky dozen, send us an email to: [email protected] with a photo and your receipt. Happy Easter egg hunting! #Easter #eggs #hunt #prize #colourful 
 “The Earthquake rumbled
And mumbled And grumbled; And then he bumped, And everything tumbled-- Bumpyty-thump! Thumpyty-bump!” #Earthquake in #Boorowa last night, woke up the henhouse and made the dogs bark like mad. Only the magic lilies looked on coolly and just shook off their water droplets. Just another day of farm life. (magic lilies, or ‘naked ladies’ or ‘Belladonna lilies’, beautifully surprising us at the farm right now, right next to the packing shed) --from the poem “The Bashful Earthquake” by Oliver Herford #lilies #pasture #eggs Photography by Haydn  “Let the rain kiss you
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops Let the rain sing you a lullaby.. And I love the rain.” After three days of rain kissing every paddock and singing a lullaby to all birds, we all LOVE the rain. Suddenly, all the brown is green! #brown and #green #eggs #pasturedeggs #aftertherain --from the poem “April Rain Song” by Langston Hughes 
 “And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;” The beauty of our youngest chicken, up close and personal. When she arrived at the farm, she was so timid and shy, she was the youngest of all. And now, possessing that perfect harmonious mixture of light (sparkling eyes) and dark (dark feathers and a real character). All that's best. #eye #eyes #beauty #hen #chicken #eggs #pasturedeggs #poetry #beautiful --from the poem “She Walks in Beauty” by Lord Byron Photography by Haydn  “All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)” The thistle rose: our original, strange and spare touch of unusual beauty this summer; a feast for our eyes while doing the daily egg collection! #beauty #unusual #summer #thistle #poetry #eggs #pastured #farmlife #thorns and #roses --from the poem “Pied Beauty” by Gerard Manley Hopkins  “Will you take a walk with me,
My little wife, today? There’s barley in the barley-field, And hay-seed in the hay.” “Thank you,” said the Clocking-hen; “I’ve something else to do: I’m busy sitting on my eggs, I cannot walk with you.” Just don’t try to get the egg from under this hen today! 😃 #eggs #broody #hen #chickens #pasturedeggs #clucky #cute #chicken #fluffy #poetry #farmlife --from “The Clocking-Hen” by 19th century poet Aunt Effie -Photography by Haydn “Fountains that frisk and sprinkle
The moss they overspill;… Peaches without a wrinkle; Cherries and snow at will… To live, I think of these!” And that is how hens and humans survive the heat: sprinklers ON, #cherries from the fabulous #hilltopsregion, and dreaming of snow to come in 6 months --from the poem “Ballade Made In The Hot Weather” by William Ernest Henley Photography by Mario  “Thought nothing was gonna slow me down
Then I had a... flat tyre. Well dang it, I ain't got no spare It′s an inside flat, I ain't goin' nowhere” It’s been that kind of a week, flat tyre on the tractor sure slows everything down. #flat #tyre #tractor #busted #nospare #pastured #eggs #farmlife #country #pasturedeggs --from the country song “Flat Tyre” by Dale Watson, from his 2014 album “The Truckin’ Sessions” Photography by Mario  “Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons everywhere I've looked at clouds that way” The hens and I, enjoying some ice cream castles in the air #clouds #illusion #sky #farmlife #pastured #eggs #cloudy #lookup #up —from the song”Both Sides Now” by Joni Mitchell 
 “…Behind, clouds of glory are sailing,
Sunbeams, golden, are trailing; Through the gloom, a smile I see, The sun is shining on me, ... Therefore, have no fear of clouds, In the calm of the morning they shroud; For behind the clouds is the sun still shining; Thy fate is the sun, and its glory entwining; Take heart, and have faith in the morrow.” After every hard rain, the sunshine comes sparkly shiny and glorious! There have been so many long days of hard work at the farm lately, we are ready for the sparkly sun rays now, we have faith in the morrow 😊 #hardwork #pastured #eggs #farmlife #sunafterrain #aftertherain #sunrays #glorious #sun #pasturedeggs #poetry --from the poem "The Rainy Day" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Photography by Haydn  The butternut squash egg :) special #thanksgiving edition . #butternutsquash #egg #pastured #eggs #weird #eggs
Photography by Haydn  "If one could have that little head of hers
Painted upon a background of pale gold," ... Then her lithe neck, three fingers might surround, How it should waver on the pale gold ground, Up to the fruit-shaped, perfect chin it lifts! ... All heaven, meanwhile, condensed into one eye Which fears to lose the wonder, should it wink." #face #theface #cuteface #chicken #eggs #pasturedeggs #pasture #freedom #poetry #farming #beauty #hen #cute -- from the poem "A Face" by Robert Browning Photography by Haydn

 “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”
Thank you to Emilie and Marnie from our team, for washing away the everyday dust and bringing a smile to us all. We love the doodle eggs so much, but if some survive until the weekend, we will bring them for you at the farmers markets this weekend 😊 #eggs #art #pastured #doodle #pasturedeggs #farmlife #inspired -- quote by Pablo Picasso  “You have to be always drunk. That’s all there is to it—it’s the only way. So as not to feel the horrible burden of time that breaks your back and bends you to the earth, you have to be continually drunk.
But on what? Wine, poetry or virtue, as you wish. “ Our newest flock, all drunk on fresh grass, sunshine and cool water 😊 #drunk #pastured #eggs #freedom #alwaysbedrunk #poetry #farmlife #newlife #new #explore #pasture #green #pasturedeggs #virtue -from “Be Drunk” by Charles Baudelaire  “I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.” Both alpacas and chickens agree. There are bugs plenty, shade is lovely in the hot October, and the ‘Roman’ dust baths are one of life’s highlights. 😆 This week our alpacas joined the chickens in one flock; their work with the lambs is finished for the season. #tree #lovelytree #alpacas #chickens #pasturedeggs #eggs #poetry #shade #undertheshade -- from the poem “Trees” by Joyce Kilmer  Have you seen the sausage egg? 😊
It’s an egg that’s long like a sausage. A real ‘weiner’! 😊 How do you make an [egg] sausage roll? Push it down a hill 😊 That’s what this chicken must have done 😊 #fun #egg #pastured #eggs #sausage #eggsausage #sausageegg #longegg #funnyegg #jokes #weirdegg  "A single flower, and nothing more,
a single flower is all we'll be. ... grass in the wind, and nothing more, grass in the wind is all we'll be." Miraculously, this purple poppy survived the chickens pecking, the cockatoos grabbing, and the sudden heavy rain and wild winds we had this week. #survivor #flower #singleflower #poppy #purplepoppy #grass #oneflower #poetry #pastured #eggs --from the poem "Give me your hand" by Gabriela Mistral Photography by Haydn |
