hi ho hi ho it's off to work we go

The past month started out slowly, but my how a little bit of sunshine can change all that! This is one of the busiest times on the farm, prepping beds, planting and seeding - non stop activities. What a great feeling! Having many of the late spring/early summer vegetable plants in the ground has gotten us so excited about eating and providing you with farm fresh vegetables. We also have a few new additions to the Fertile Crescent Farm family, eight to be exact. We purchased some adorable chicks a few weeks ago, they're all hens - I think- I hope- They won't be laying eggs though for another 6 months or so.

Here are some pics of the happenings -

this is a baby chick a little over two weeks ago - cute huh?


I think it's now going through it's awkward pre teen stage

What great pictures. I love the chick, your field... the truck!
(Must be something unreconstructed about me, I think I envy the truck most!)
