What is petrichor? Did you know rain smell had a name?

3/30/2019

Can you smell the rain in the air? That rain smell has a name: #Petrichor!
It was created by two Australian scientists, Isabel Joy Bear and R. G. Thomas from #CSIRO in 1964.
And at Hilltops Egg Farm, in March 2019, there is no lovelier smell than petrichor - we love the rain!

If you are curios how they came up with 'petrichor': it comes from the Greek words 'petra', meaning stone and 'ichor', meaning the blood of gods in ancient myth.#newwords #welovescience

Giant eggs in autumn

Farm Autumn in the southern hemisphere: a yellow mulberry leaf, fire-red grapes' leaves, multi-color cherry leaves, and the amount of giant eggs we collected today!

The grass and the chickens love the rain and warmth of Autumn.

Pasture raised chickens improve the pasture

Despite the drought at the end of summer, the pastures where chickens rotate with other animals bounce back quickly, full of color, vigor and vitality of the fresh new green. This is the area of one paddock where chicken caravans were anchored just over a dozen days ago.

Yellow

Yellow flowers, yellow yolks!
As Bruce Pattinson wrote in The Land Newspaper, "Very yellow yolks are from green feed" which are "very good for the birds" :) Poultry experts agree with #hilltopsfreerange #theland #pasturedeggs #grassfed
