Adopted some little furballs a kind lady found orphaned under her porch. They are officially emotional support kittens, and they are great at their job.

Cottage window view has gotten more fun. The team is patiently waiting on their “summer barn” to be built. So for now, they’re borrowing my barn and I don’t mind!!

Everyone knows we may not be the best farmers, but we certainly pride ourselves on having lovable and adorable animals. This latest batch of fur balls to move in is not only all that and more, but they also come attached with the most loveable and adorable humans ever!! We are pleased to welcome the Appalachian State Equestrian Team to the farm as their new home. They have worked so hard to make this move happen, and we are so proud and happy to have them here. We are very excited to begin a new journey together! Follow them
And standby for many more horse pics!! 🥰

Construction has begun on the oldest part of the farmhouse, the original log cabin from 1800. We are fortunate enough to have the awesome Mike Stam, who is famous for his incredible treehouses, attacking the job. He is also notorious for being able to find arrowheads…he has found several while digging through the foundation. The “foundation” of the cabin was actually trees cut from the farm and laid down and then other trees laid on top. And stones packed up. He is going back and placing concrete footers and foundation walls before insulation and a new subfloor go in. We are in awe!!!

Hooray for horse fence across the front! It looked so good our cousins wanted it on their land too. 😃

We ❤️ Blue Ridge Conservancy!!!!!

Funding for this project came from the NC Complete the Trails Program.

Mama duck, aka Caleb, took the ducklings to introduce them to the pond. There were some awkward moments. 😆

We may not be the most talented farmers, but one thing we pride ourselves on is having friendly animals at the farm! We have a new batch of baby chicks, and they’re rooming with little C, getting ALL the snuzzles. They even took a field trip to school to visit with C’s class. 🐥🐣☺️

04/07/2023

It’s starting to get springy at the farm! Don’t forget to book your summer vacation at the cottage. ☺️.

Snow day!

I got this cute deer head for my library/hunt room that’s under construction. I put it in the primary bedroom for safe keeping until the library is done. This has become the biggest laugh of our family. Everyone says they would refuse to sleep in there. 😂. Would you sleep under a deer head?! (Keep in mind this is in our unfinished farmhouse, which no one sleeps in anyway!!)
