Tis the season for harvesting & butchering!

In Arizona, the fall weather means plenty of farm chores like building a better compost system, harvesting the last of our watermelon & cantaloupe, and butchering old hens & meat ducks. It’s a busy life, but we love it!

This hen has a problem and she wants everyone to know about it!
 

We’re all prepped and ready to reduce our flock of chickens by butchering the old hens!


It’s time to harvest our birds that have become too old to lay eggs and utilize the meat for broth.


The time has come to butcher our muscovy meat ducks, if we can catch them.


Bananas do surprisingly well here in the desert, but you don’t need to protect them from the heat, it’s the cold that’ll do them in.


Oh it’s on! Ethan and DaNelle square off in a goat milking contest!

ABOUT DANELLE

DaNelle started to take an interest in a healthier lifestyle after suffering from two debilitating chronic diseases. On a mission to create a farm of her own, DaNelle forced, or rather 'lovingly persuaded' her husband to purchase a ranch home on an acre of land and transform it into their very own urban farm. DaNelle blogs at Weed 'em & Reap where she writes about the sustainable backyard farming, traditional food, & natural remedies.

    The milking contest was the best! My husband laughs at the pride I have in how efficient I am at milking but I bet he wouldn’t laugh if he lost to me in a challenge 😉 how fun!

HEY THERE!
