Things are beginning to look different here at the farm! We had all that land cleared a couple months ago and after a lot of hard work, a new field is almost ready for planting! It is right next to the field we've already got and around the same size. After removing some rocks and some final tilling, it will be ready to go!</div>

This past semester, the aquaculture class did a semester long project focusing around <a href="http://www.sjcme.edu/magazine/spring14/aquaponics-wave-of-the-future" target="_blank">aquaponics</a>. Over the summer, the project is staying in the farm and there is talk of getting a permanent set up going so there can be fresh greens for the animals in the winter.<br />

<br />
This year, Dyna (our oldest ewe) was left out of the breeding stock after almost dying giving birth last year. The sheep that we did put in the breeding stock this year are expected to give birth in the middle of March and this is obviously not the middle of March. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Not knowing who the father is, or when the dirty deed took place, we think it was either Big (who is currently at Myke's house) or Tobey (who was sent to the slaughterhouse) and because she gave birth now, we think the time of conception is around late August. <br />
<br />
Since we don't know who the father is the little lamb cannot be included in the breeding stock next year. In other words: don't get attached.<br />
<br />
I've already gotten attached.<br />
<br />
The little guy was born sometime over the past night and he is still pretty small. He tries not to stray too far from Dyna's side, who seems reluctant to keep him around. Which is understandable considering what she went through last year. <br />
<br />
Hopefully she warms up to him! <br />
<br />
But really, how could you say no to this face?<br />

<br />
Winter time isn't very busy, since it isn't a great season for growing, which makes everything pretty relaxed and chill around the farm. <br />
<br />
We have some new baby bunnies that everyone should check out! We also have quite a few pregnant sheep and I'll keep you updated on that! <br />
<br />
Now, for some morbid news, RJ and Annabelle, the two wonderful little goats, are getting sent away this week. I know that I'm going to miss them...<br />

That means that the Turkeys will be going to the slaughterhouse. They are out of here on Sunday. I may be the only farm worker who will miss them... They were adorable in their own kind of hideous way. <br />

On another note, we now have a little piglet at the farm! His name is Abraham! Get it? AbraHAM. <br />For the record, I didn't come up with the name, Myke didn't either.<br />

His new office will be (if my memory has this right) the first left as you walk in and up the stairs (on the left) at the end of the room. So, if you can't find him, this is just another place to check out!<br />
<br />
At the farm, we have been preparing for winter still and getting ready for garlic. One of our sheep has an eye infection from getting something in her eye (presumably hay) and may end up going blind. We have been keeping a close eye on her. No pun intended.<br />

<br />
Recently over here at the farm we've started getting ready for winter! The first thing we are doing is converting the hoop houses for the winter crops from the summer crops. Also, while the ground will be freezing over soon, we've started digging the potatoes that we planted over the summer.<br />
<br />
Now that CSA is over, we have plenty of crops that we've been passing off to Catherine's Cupboard every Wednesday.<br />
<br />
Lastly, we got a new breeding ewe! She does not yet have a name (though I am sure someone will name her soon) and we got her just in time for the breeding season too! Although, she did not come alone... She came with a little lamb! <br />
<br />
Keep an eye out this week for picture of both of them!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283611682180950045.post-28518702035426598532013-10-07T16:20:00.002-04:002013-10-07T16:20:48.310-04:00CSA is Over...But will be back again next year! Last week was the final week of CSA for us, but we are looking forward to next year!<br />
<br />
Also, last Thursday began breeding season for the sheep. For a while we have separated the rams from the ewes so that they would be ready to breed. When we put them both together, they were definitely ready. I'm not going into details.<br />
<br />
The other week, I had mentioned that a photography class came by to take some photos. Here is some of their work.<br />

On Thursday, one of our goats, Rocky Junior (RJ), was found with bloat. Bloat is caused by extra gas build up in the stomach and makes it overstretched. Now, RJ is doing fine thanks to the wonderful pre-vet majors!<br />

Luckily, the ecology students were nursing majors and they knew how to help Mike fix up the sheep! They noticed the sheep's wound had puss seeping out from it when they touched it, which meant it was infected. They gave the sheep some antibiotics and patched him up!<br />

<br />
Over the past weeks, Mike has been coming in to the farm and checking the rabbit hutches to see if they needed to be cleaned. He was "so focused on the poop" (his words, not mine) that when one of the workers asked him what to do about the baby rabbits, he said "what baby rabbits?"<br />
<br />
Needless to say, we don't know when the rabbits were born, but now we have two lovely baby rabbits on the farm! They haven't even opened their eyes yet.<br />

Last month we had Hay Day! This is a special holiday on the farm where we get the bales of hay for the winter. We had one day to move and stack 620 bales of hay. The task began around 6am and ended right around 6pm. We all got the rash from the hay on our arms and were exhausted by the end of it all. <br />

Recently, we have been doing a lot of weeding, planting, and harvesting. I'm starting to feel like a broken record saying that... But it's true! Weeding, planting, and harvesting makes the farm run smoothly!<br />

In my last post, I talked about how we had been working on re-fencing some of the electric fencing around the goat pen and the pasture. Well... We're done with the goat pen! Now the goats can happily stay out there and free range all they want.<br />

In addition to re-fencing, we have also started to clear some of the trees and brush from the fencing at the top of the pasture. It's very dense and progress is very slow, but it's not impossible!<br />

I've got bad news for everyone who thought the rabbits were cute and good news for everyone who thinks rabbits taste good: we sent them to the slaughterhouse last week. <br />

One last thing. On the farm, we like to have fun and last week, on July 25th, we celebrated Christmas in July! Which was simply everyone getting a donut, courteously of one of the interns.<br />

Last week, we have a couple of our incoming pre-vet majors learning how to tag sheep. Now it's a little bit easier to tell them apart. We plan to keep some of the sheep for breeding. The other get sent away to the slaughterhouse when their time comes. <br />

Yesterday, Myke said that he could hear one of the ducklings underneath the mother but couldn't see the newborn. Well, today we a quick peek at the little guy (or girl)! Our duck had a little chick with her! <br />
Sometimes, the chickens will lay eggs in the duck house and one of them just so happened to be on the nest when the mother duck started to sit on them. The mother duck has accepted the chick as one of her own. <br />
The mother duck is still sitting on quite a few eggs and we are expecting them to hatch (into ducklings) next week!<br />

For those of you wont don't know, CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. How a CSA works is that the farm has shareholders that pay an amount for the year and over the summer, they are able to come to the farm and grab fresh vegetables. </div>

This year we have been doing things a little different. Previous years, we would offer up a preset box to our shareholders with the fresh vegetables from our farm. This year, we have an allowance set for our shareholders based off of how big of a share they have. They are allowed to spend this money on what ever they decide they want that day.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
