Exciting New Venture!!!

We have added SHEEP to our farm!

Not just any sheep… DAIRY sheep!

We are pleased to welcome our flock, who have joined us from 4 different homesteads/farms, from Ohio and Michigan!

They are such fun, and feel a little like we’ve added dogs to the farm! We aren’t used to livestock that want snuggles, treats, and wag their tails!

I know, you are surprised to learn I don’t snuggle our steers or ducks

One of our sheep is a momma ewe who had just weaned her lamb. We started out milking her twice a day, getting around 1/2 gallon per day!

You best believe there is more to come regarding this exciting new venture of ours.

For now, check out how cute these sheep are…

Introducing, Beef Cattle!

Introducing Honey Bell Farm Beef Cattle!!!

After much work and renovation, we are able to keep beef cattle on the farm!
First off, it took a lot of work to get our barn cattle ready. Then, we all hopped in the gater and spent a couple days getting a temporary pasture ready with electric fencing… but here we are, we’re operational!

Re-Rooting Cut Roses

My newest venture!

We were gifted BEAUTIFUL yellow roses, which greeted us when we returned home from Deacon’s hospital stay! Quick update on that: Deacon fell because he didn’t like the FROG that I found in my BEDROOM! {crazy, I know} He stumbled and fell on the ground. Didn’t hit anything or fall from any height, but that was enough to displace fracture his left femur.
It was a scary, hard thing to witness my baby in such pain, but having so much love and support made it so much easier.

I typically wait until flowers die, then compost them, but as the flowers were fading I noticed a TON of new leaf growth! This got me thinking… can i re-root cut flowers?!
