Midget Whites
All I have is adults that I bought as poults from Meyer Hatchery in Ohio. I would not even want to try to ship turkeys to someone. Young ones are so delicate! If you order, order many more than you want to end up with, because they are very good at dying. Besides the babies that died, we lost one that drowned in the sheep's water trough and some that died for unknown reasons or were lost to predators. So you either need to keep them penned up or be prepared to lose a lot of them. I am hoping to keep our remaining tom and three hens alive so that we can have lots of babies in the spring.Come visit me, Lane's End Farm.

About midget critters
We've thought about getting a couple of midget sheep to eat the grass in the vineyard. Anyone had any luck with that? Joan at Greenhill Vineyard.Come visit me, Greenhill Vineyard & Farm.

Love your blogs and photos
Hi,
Yes, we do have a vineyard. We just finished (end of September) selling grapes. Lots of fun! We have 600 mature vines, 150 new vines this year, and will plant another 250 vines to get to 1000 vines. That's enough for us! We're retired and our farm is our hobby... but lots more work than we planned. We do love it! We raise red and yellow French/American grapes, Concords, and this year we're trying some seedless. We have a smallish garden for home use, and we are raising gourds just for the fun of watching them grow.
MARSHFIELD is just up the road about 25 miles. I visited Hobby Farms and signed up just to see what the small farming world was like. IT'S NICE TO FIND A NEIGHBOR.
YOU HAVE A GREAT SITE, GREAT AMBITION, AND A HUGE JOB CARING FOR YOUR FARM AND CRITTERS WHILE WORKING.
BEST WISHES. JOAN Also, visit our web site to learn more about us. www.greenhillgrapes.com. See ya!Come visit me, Greenhill Vineyard & Farm.

Good Fall Morning to all!!
I love fall but there is always so much to do, especially when you are working a 9-5 job + OT. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining about having a job. Have to get the garden cleared out and ready for the piggies. We put a couple of pigs in our garden during the winter so that they will root around and fertilize during the colder months. They are great at mixing things up, if you know what I mean! Still putting hay in the loft and moving round bales. Only had 2 foals this year but they have been weaned for a month and they are doing great---will post a current pic of them for you to see---they are dandies!! Am also posting a pic of one of my favorite scenes on the farm----the old wagon wheel with clemantis growing on it, plus a pic of the future mini Longhorn bull---his little horn buds are almost an inch long now and boy, is he a dandy!! He might be for sale.Come visit me, Free Rein Farms.
