Freedom for the soul

9/25/2025

"A league and a league of marsh-grass, waist-high, broad in the blade,
...Somehow my soul seems suddenly free"

We could not find a better way to say it, Spring is in the farm.

Dinner Banquet, farm style

9/18/2025

The Presidential-Royal State Banquet Dinner, Australian farm-style version, all pomp and circumstance , is served.😊 We also have chicken and eggs on the menu (‘Eufs’ et ‘Poulet’, to be exactly as they wrote on the menu); we also have 160 distinguished VIP guests; we also have the finest local Spring paddock produce 😊. And of course, some uninvited guests lurching behind the fence!

Raw Snacking

9/11/2025

“A Bird, came down the Walk -
He did not know I saw -
He bit an Angle Worm in halves
And ate the fellow, raw”

The wonderful news from the second week of a wild, wet spring, with tornados(!) near the farm: plenty of raw fellows for the hens to snack on!

Green skin after winter

9/4/2025

“Patient, plodding, a green skin
growing over whatever winter did to us, a return
to the strange idea of continuous living despite
the mess of us, the hurt, the empty.”

Yes, we will take it all, all the different shades of green, Spring! And we are not giving up. Despite whatever winter did to us all.
