Berries and Goats

The work goes on here at Silvermine Farm, we awoke early on Wednesday to pick a few quarts of strawberries for the opening of the farm stand.  


This was a very enjoyable task as slight snackage was inevitable and delicious. Other than this, we have been transplanting tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant with our fellow farmhands for most of the past few days. 


It is very satisfying to see the fields fill up and some of the seeds we planted earlier begin to sprout.

Much of our time recently has been occupied by chasing around Mila, 

a very mischievous and accident prone goat who refuses to be contained by any enclosure, including Daniel's expert electric fence-work.

In addition, we have welcomed some poults (baby turkeys) to the farm, and they are adorable.


We hope this post finds all of you well
