“The little farm that could” win the Sydney Royal Easter show , by @canberratimes #thankyou #fame #pasturedeggs

This season we are experimenting with not only rotational, but ‘conjoint’ rotational grazing. With the sheep in the same paddock as chickens, in addition to expanding the biodiversity in the farm, and the benefits for the soil humus buildup, we also found a surprise benefit: having the sheep roam around encourages chickens to lay all their eggs in the proper laying boxes. Less hidden eggs amongst tall grass. All credits to Prue. #symbiosis #friends #friendsinhighplaces #eggs #pastured #pasturedeggs #farming #soil #biodiversity

From dawn till dusk, work on the farm is never done... #farmlife #freerange #eggs #dawntilldusk #winternights

Every day can end beautifully, no matter what challenges one faced. Checking on the last flock for the day, and enjoying a sunset looking like a broken #pasturedegg between  the sky and Earth. #myoffice #farmlife #pastured #eggs #freerange #sunset #beauty

The chickens celebrating too:

We have won Champion award at the Sydney Royal Easter Show!

The true mark of a genuine farm product. Variability and seasonality: The rainbow of different colored shells in just ten eggs from one flock of chickens, with different spots, dashes, circles and nuances of brown.

Driving through grass taller than the bonnet at the end of summer! 😁 regenerative agriculture and chickens put in practice @hilltopsfreerange. #regenerativeag #grass #chickens #farmersjoy #naturalfertiliser #actionsnotwords #do

"Grass is the forgiveness of nature -
her constant benediction.
Forests decay, harvests perish, flowers vanish,
but grass is immortal."
--Brian Ingall, random poetry lines found on the web

Public baths taken to a new level: the chickens' unbreakable link to Eternal Rome and Ancient Greece.In Roman times, baths were accessible to all, both rich and poor, and so our chickens do not discriminate either.

Just like famous and splendid Roman baths influenced architecture and design, the chickens' dust baths influence the landscape of our farm, with crates and valleys 'designed' around the best shady trees.

Carrying over the proud tradition of staying clean and relaxing one's mind, the chickens' dust baths keep their feathers in pristine condition, and keeps mites, lice and other parasites away in a natural way. It is the best social activity in the hotter part of the day.

Social distancing for clouds: the one you can watch, lying on your back against a bale of hay, and feeling happy about the state of the world. #socialdistancing on the #farm, #farmlife #hiddenchickens #pasture #clouds #safeplace

A liquid gold colour, the last of the harvest this season is done.

"Turn, turn, my wheel! All things must change
To something new, to something strange;
Nothing that is can pause or stay"


– from "The Song of the Potter" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

From pastured chickens, to organic fertiliser, to clover, to pasture, to golden hay, to sheep...
The wheels are turning on and on,
the future becomes today.
