Well we knew it was coming but these things are so often not easy to tell. Needless to say it was quite a surprise while doing morning chores to see a new little one already standing albeit a little shaky. In no time at all the filly was up and running and most importantly nursing well. Here are some images from the first few hours.
Featherfoot Farm is pleased to announce its educational Summer Camps for 2009! The Farm Camp program is designed to provide children with opportunities to experience organic gardening, farm ecology, sustainable living and animal husbandry in a fun, educational and recreational environment. Come share the joys of life on the farm!
An incredibly snowy winter, one of the snowiest in Maine's history, finally gave way to a beautiful spring. This transformation, however predictable and measured, always seems to take us by surprise. It's difficult to imaging fields covered with snow and ice springing up into landscapes of pastelled wild flowers and grasses.
This winter brought with it the passing of our Jersey milking cow Cornelia. Her death was as unexpected as it was sudden. After happily grazing in the morning, Emily found her on the back of the compost pile with her life drained from her.
This edition of the Featherfoot Farm Journal is late--very late in fact. This lateness, and the cause of it, are precisely the topic of this season's Journal. There are priorities in this life and then there are priorities. A kid who needs to be driven to a soccer practice falls in the former category; milking a Jersey cow that has just calved falls, unquestionably, in the latter.
We thought we would take this season's journal to talk about something near and dear to our hearts--encouraging people to drastically reduce or eliminate television watching from their lives. After you read some of the information provided by the TV Turnoff Network it might not be so difficult to take a break from the "tube."
