Caught Red Handed!

This small lap-loving cat with the tiny squeak for a meow is a dedicated hunter. She came to Wedge Oak Farm 3 years ago and was caught trying to get into the brooder where we keep our little day old to 3 week chicks. She was transfered into the house where she sat on the washing machine for the next several days....she was named Maytag. Her friends include another cat which she loves to bathe and 2 dogs that she likes to walk with,  and curl up with in the cooler months. She might like a house with another animal or a loving person.
Until this year, we have been able to keep her out of the chicks, but she has officially decided that WOF chicken tastes better than cat food. Hence, we must re-home Maytag. She is current on all of her shots and was spayed as a kitten. She would love a person with a free hand for a back rub, a lap for a visit and a yard to prowl, in the morning. Please let us know if you are interested. Call Anne at 615.497.3434

The Turkeys are Coming!

Ding! Canned Tomatoes

I finally got some tomatoes put away for the winter. Made juice too. An expert told me about pressing the skins through a food mill for a thicker juice. It looks and tastes great! It will make an extra special brunch beverage this fall!

There is a sweet satisfaction upon hearing the "ding" of jars sealing as they cool! What if every completed task was accompanied by a sound of success?

Ding!

Goodbye Roo!

What a rooster! 

Friday, at a glance

 Today, Tom Bayless and Josh Habiger came out and helped with the farm work and made friends with the hens and pigs too.

 We flipped a tank of water as we hauled it out to the sows this morning (the ladies love the aqua). So we pumped what we could with small pump that attaches to the cordless drill and bucketed the remainder to the pigs. It was nice to have two pairs of extra hands.
