What's with All the Silence?

So, I got off facebook. It was a personal decision really. I don't miss it. I miss knowing what's going on with my friends, but I don't miss it. That little blue icon on my phone was like the "eye of target". It just reeled me in every time I was close and took up way to much of my time. So, I removed myself permanently from the social network and that included all RBG Ranch updates.

Where have we been? What have we been up to? Lots really. Spring and summer brings a season of busyness to any farm. Whether you grow big crops, cut and bale hay, run a load of cattle or raise poultry... it's BUSY! That was no different for us. Baby goats born, chicks arriving and butchering, a few animals departed, and another farm addition. I will update on every little thing I can think of over the next few weeks. But, the biggest part of "busy". Well, we moved.

Yes, we are still in the best state EVER! But we are further out. Surrounded by beautiful pines (Mr. Smash is more than happy because pine trees=deer) and other hardwoods. There is amazing sandy loam soil, 2 full pear trees, mature peach trees, apple trees, and persimmons. And our hoofed grass eaters are already enjoying bits and pieces of pasture and meadows that this place has to offer.




I say bits and pieces because our fence isn't completed. We decided to splurge and get good strong pipe around the front of the property and a small pasture closer to the house. The rest has pretty good 5 strand barb. Mr. Smash is also down a "shop", and our chickens are sleeping in a nice predator-proof pen but have no real coop. Which means there are tools and machinery everywhere, and every day is an egg hunt. Just waiting for the crew we already gave 50% to, which is quite fun and full of suspense.

But I got a milk room!

Stay tuned.
