Flowering Farm

     Oh how I love this time of year! I've been out walking our farm and just had to take some photos of a few of our plants in bloom.

One of our Red Bud trees:

 

Apple trees:

A lot is blooming along the the creek and around the house A whirlpool formed before the dam, spinning beautifully in the water. Our dogs loves to play in the creek. It's also a favorite past-time of the families. There's evidence of raccoon feeding along the creek, deer rubbing their antlers, the birds are leaving nests all along the wood line, and turkey performing in the field. They love crayfish.

The Buckeye Tree is beginning to bloom along with other flowering shrubs putting on their show around the farm. The cherry trees are covered with blooms making it look like the trees are filled with snow from the front porch.

We still have a few daffodils still in bloom, and our evergreen trees are showing signs of life hiding among the winter grass growth.

I hope you're enjoying the spring ~ The Farmer's Wife

Welcome to the Farm

Hello. I'm the farmer's wife. I'm also the lil' farmers' mom and a school teacher for the local elementary school. I'll add a link to follow my school experiences later. Come back and look for that. Here however, I'll be sharing our adventures on our farm. You can visit our farm website at https://sites.google.com/site/simmonsupickfarms/
or "like" us on facebook to stay up on the business end.

It is March here in Ohio and everything is beginning to turn green. 
We've had to shift into high gear preparing the fields and tending to the babies growing on our farm.

Here are our newest additions: 10 Golden Comet Chicks and 10 Barred Plymouth Rock Chicks in the nursery.


This week my Lil' Farmers and I painted tree branches The Farmer cut back to place an additional chicken coop for these girls above when they get bigger.

We then blew up balloons and wrapped them with string and paste, let it dry and pop the balloons for colorful Easter Eggs.



So I simply couldn't end the day without sharing two of my favorite products we have here on our farm.
1) Our caged-free, free ranged, beautiful brown eggs from our Golden Comet hens.
  Eggs Order Form $2.00 a dozen. I'll post my favorite egg recipes next.

2) And our local HONEY - YUMMY! $16 for a quart jar. I have a recipe for Shoo Fly Pie you're gonna want. I'll be adding that on the next Blog too.
