Midwife to a Pig, and Assistant to the Midwife

So SweePea had her babies yesterday. Scott and I were there for the whole thing, helping. Scott was the Midwife. I was the Assistant to the Midwife.

Nature Hike with 3rd Graders

You Got Something in your Pocket?

The animals have a large area to roam, but they really like to be walked by one of us. Here, Benjamin is walking the pigs and the goats. In the first picture, SweePea is getting really close to Ben, hoping there might be an apple or something in his back pocket. She's the cutest, sweetest, … Continue reading You Got Something in your Pocket?

Look at the Size of that Egg!

  In summertime, we will once again have eggs for sale. Our Chickens are not producing a lot of eggs this time of year. This just cracks me up.

Out Walking the Field with the Animals

Our animals are so happy. Scott takes such good care of them. He takes them for walks every day.
