WHAT'S NEW AT
STRAIGHT CREEK VALLEY FARM
STRAIGHT CREEK VALLEY FARM
| FEBRUARY 2010 I have retired from being a city lawyer and am now staying amazingly busy as a country attorney and "farmer". The farmer part of my life has taken a wonderful turn as I now have the opportunity to write a weekly column in Brown County's local newspaper, The News Democrat, about my adventures at the Creek. The column is called Straight Creek Essays and for those of you who do not get the paper, you can read what I write on my blog! |
MAY 2010
We have several new additions to our farm "family". Two goats, aptly named One and
Two, have now made Straight Creek their home. Greg built them a beautiful green tin
roofed and cedar sided goat house that matches the other farm buildings. I promise to
post photos and goat stories soon.
We also have acquired seventeen Bantam chicks. There is no telling for the moment
how many of our new flock are roosters, but we hope that the odds of about 50% hold
true. Time will tell, and time will also give Greg the chance to build a portable chicken
house, but for now the chicks live with us, in a cattle trough, in the cabin. We fall
asleep to their chirping each night.
And the seed starts are now looking like a jungle in their float bed. They are quite
ready to plant, and the fields are ready for planting our bee forage crops too. So we
shall be busy over the next few weeks, but I promise to keep you posted!
