A Spur of the Moment Farm Event

Lately we've been getting phone calls, emails and facebook messages asking if we allow farm visits. Some of them are even phrased more directly, such as "when can we come and visit?" 

We struggle with this, and I always carefully craft a response. I aim for a kind answer, but I'm not always sure I achieve that. 

You see, if we started allowing personal visits to the farm, we'd never get anything done. That's our reality. The truth is, there are times when we run from one thing to the next. 

But we do realize that we have something very, very special here. Something that not a lot of people have a chance to experience. And we want to share that. 

So when there was talk of letting the sheep out of the barn for the spring, we decided to offer a quick glimpse to whomever could come on short notice. We emailed those who are on our email list, and posted it on facebook. We gave about 2 days notice, and we offered only a one hour window to come, late on a Saturday afternoon. 


We had maybe 20-25 people come. Nothing like our shearing day. But that's okay, as it was a low-key event.


In fact, the sheep weren't all that entertaining. They took a few steps out of the barn, and immediately buried their noses in the grass. They eventually did a little baaing and running about, but they were mostly interested in the lush grass.

In case you are tempted to ask if you can come for a personal tour, just know that we will probably say no. But if you like us on facebook, or sign up for our email newsletter, you might just get to hear about a spur of the moment event that may be almost as nice as a personal tour, and still allow us to get our work done.

Lambing Jugs

We usually let ewes begin lambing in the large pen, with the other expectant ewes. After the first lamb is born, The Farmer will let her care for it for a few minutes. Then he will go in and pick up the lamb (or lambs, if he's arrived after multiple births) and move slowly out of the large pen. In this case, the lamb is the bait that makes the ewe move, too. She is very concerned about her lamb, and will follow closely, calling out the whole time.  The ewe and her lamb(s) are placed in a small lambing pen, called a jug. I have no idea why they are called jugs. If anyone knows the origin of that term, I'd love to know. They are kept there for 1-3 days to ensure that they bond, and that the ewe is caring for her lambs well. No distractions. We set up a whole row of temporary jugs during lambing time. This is one of our hay storage areas, so we need to be sure that we've used most of this hay up before lambing begins. After their time in the lambing jugs, the ewe...
