You’re looking at the beginnings of two new pastured poultry eggmobiles (trailers), two new raised beds for spinach & greens (cattle feed troughs) and a rake attachment that I’m sure we’ll find something to do with. 🤣 Not shown are racks for onion & garlic drying, chicken crates and other small handy items. We love auctions, almost as much as we love repurposing things to work on the farm. Talk about sustainable! Next PostIt’s the first of the monthly on-site farmers markets from @marketatdothan today here at @dothan.nurseries. It’s still very early in the growing season, but we’ve brought fresh green garlic, cabbages, pasture raised eggs, our collection of gourmet cooking salts, and our yummy jams. Stop by and say hi, and ask is about our pasture raised chickens. There’s no comparison to store bought chicken! You Might Also Like Just installed our first silage tarp in garden 3. It’s a sustainable, non-chemical way to kill existing weeds and pests. In a couple of weeks we’ll roll it back, lightly till the ground to raise up buried weed seeds, then recover. In a month or so we’ll have a nice stale seedbed ready for a cover crop for winter. September 18, 2019 Market’s open! Come on down! June 30, 2018 Turns out a knee scooter (because of foot surgery) is the perfect height for working on raised spinich beds. 🤣. Who knew they made all terrain knee scooters? May 5, 2019
