February Update

  All taps are in and we boiled the first batch of maple syrup for the season; approximately two weeks ahead of last year.

  Kidding season is now over.  We saw the arrivals of three lambs and two kids.

  We recently purchased Guinea hogs and will try to breed them later this year.  So far they are acclimating well to their new home.  Right now they are in a stall in the barn but will get turned out to pasture in another month or two once the weather warms up.

  There is a bit of fencing that needs to be repaired and additional gates to be added to increase our total number of paddocks.

  We are looking forward to spring so we can get all of the animals back outside and begin working on the garden.
