The “Kinston Sweets” onions are coming along nicely. These are mild, sweet and delicious! Another month or so and you can get them in the online farmers market MarketAtDothan.com, and then in June we’ll have them at Poplar Head farmers market.

Boy, you never know where life will lead you. Never dreamed we’d be buying chicken feed by the half ton. 🤔😮 This non-GMO, non-soy feed will last just under a month, at current chicken numbers, to provide supplemental feed to our pasture raised meat and egg layers. But we’ll be adding another 100 meat chickens soon!

Every once in a while the chicken tractor path’s cross and they run side by side for a ways. I figure they use the time to catch up on current events and gossip. Meanwhile, tractor 1 in the far background is empty as of this morning. Those fellows all “went to freeze camp”. 🤣 Progress!

Loading up one of the aquaponics beds with basil, cilantro and celery. What’s aquaponics? It’s hydroponics (growing plants in water), but instead of adding liquid plant nutrients, the water runs through another tank that contains fish. It’s a symbiotic sustainable relationship. The fish output provides the nutrients the plants need, and the plants clean the water for the fish. Works great!
