It’s been another wonderful week on the homestead! There’s been a good amount of mud and dirty clothes, yes, but also warm weather and sunshine. We are thankful for the rain we received as well as the sunshine. Some of us (pigs!) are more thankful for the rain than others. The Pigs Are Porking Up! […]
Rabbit Tractor Updates: Door Removal

On Monday I posted about how we updated our rabbit tractors by installing feeders. You can see a video of our tractors here. Another change we recently made to the tractors was removing the door to the “house” part of the tractor. We did this because we never closed the door, so it was always tied […]
Rabbit Tractor Updates: Feeder Addition

A while back we adapted our rabbit tractors for winter use. Read about those changes here and here.

The […]

Spring is Coming! It may not feel like it now, but spring is fast approaching! I can see it in the days that are getting progressively longer. Today we worked outside until 6:30pm, and it seems that not so long ago it was dark by 5pm. While we look forward to warmer weather, I know […]

It has been just under 3 weeks since two of our Silver Fox does kindled. It has been cold most of that time so we have only seen two of the kits venture outside of their nesting box. We checked in on them today to see how they are progressing and were pleased with the […]
