Our vegetable plants are coming along great and we have moved some of our tomato plants out into the greenhouse.

Our layer chickens are enjoying the emerging pasture and the return of the summer bugs. They are following us around as we tend to the fields hoping we stir up something delicious for them.

Some of our meat birds arrived today and are now under heat lamps for the next couple of weeks. After they gain some weight and fill out their feathers we will start ranging them outside. They are very frail at a couple of days old and the temperature must be maintained at 90 – 92 degrees.
