What do we do on the farm when it’s freezing and we are waiting for spring? Winter sow seeds in milk jugs. Thank you Ashlyn Keeling! We are a little behind schedule but got 26 jugs planted today! Hopefully these little greenhouses will help our seeds to grow into plants that will be ready to go into the ground when the time is right. Our garden will be built between the Guest Barn and Little House and will share space with a small alfalfa field. Here is a list of what we planted:
Lavender
Minnesota midget melon
American daisy
Yellow pear tomato
Orange bell pepper
Green tomatillo
Purple tomatillo
Brussel sprouts
Watermelon
Green onion
Amish paste tomato
Mortgage lifter tomato
Red cabbage
Baker creek onion
Broccoli raab
Romanesco cauliflower
Yellow squash
Spaghetti squash
Flower garden mix
Honey nut squash
Acorn squash
Japanese pumpkin
Jack-o’-lantern pumpkin
Scallop squash
Zucchini
I still hope to plant a few more… various beans, peas, potatoes, it’s hard to stop! It’s a family endeavor and makes us happy. Hope you are enjoying spring wherever you are! 🌻

Happy Saturday morning everyone! While everyone, including guests, enjoys their breakfast, signs of spring continue to appear. 🌻 Pregnant mama cows are enjoying the pasture as we await the birth of their calves. Hopefully we will have 2 new little ones in a few weeks! 🐂 I have been working on making friends with Señor the rooster by giving him mealworms. He makes a special sound to call his hens over to join in the treat. Interesting! Snowflake is loving the freshness of the change in season and is looking less like a kitten. 🐈 If you are looking for a unique farm stay this spring check us out, we still have a few openings!! ☀️🌽🐓Thank you to all of our guests who stayed with us over the winter! Enjoy this beautiful day everyone, there is always something to be thankful for! 🌷

Hi, Pat here again - After our harvest of corn, we needed to make it easier to feed our cattle. We milled the corn with the cobs into meal that the cows love. We definitely minimize how much we feed them with 99.9% of there food coming from our pasture and the alfalfa grown here on the farm. We learned that in order to keep the tractor and mill running, someone needs to be sitting in the tractor seat. Without weight in the seat, the engine shuts off!

Hi! Pat here - Since our move to Iowa and the Little House on the Farm, we've been busy getting ourselves up to speed on farm life! The last quarter of 2021 was exciting and filled with new experiences for us – and they all happened right here on the farm!

In this next series of posts we will share some of our new experiences – you never know what might be happening when you come to visit us!

Here is harvesting of our corn to be milled for feeding the calves.🌽🐂

Sunrise. We want you to feel special when you stay with us on the farm. ☺️ There’s nothing like waking up in a peaceful cabin and having a fresh, hot breakfast delivered to your door. Cheesy farm fresh egg and potato casserole, homemade blueberry muffins, bacon and coffee and juice. A GREAT way to start the day!

Our cozy and warm Guest Barn is ready for travelers coming this afternoon! Such a peaceful respite on these wintry days, I want to stay there myself! 😊❄️
