Will it rain?


Wow, wouldn't it be great if it rained? Well yes and no. Our flowers, gardens, trees, and pasture would surely benefit from it but just not on Saturday because that is the day of the Queen Creek Farmer's Market. While our gardens and field are growing-we anticipate some great produce, we will be bringing some herbs, flowers, Monty's Aloe Vera, Sugar's Eggchicks, and Rhia will be selling her little pigs to benefit the Ironwood Pig Sanctuary. Jessica ran the farm booth at a market last weekend and did a wonderful job.

We have had some fun visitors to the farm for tours, pony rides, and vegetable starts. We love to have people meet and learn about our animal friends!

The pigs had a visit to have their feet trimmed and tusks shortened. Even Nibbles, our pigmy goat, received a trim. The angora goats; Buddy, Hershey, and Beauty, are trimmed by us as are almost all of the horses.

We've been experimenting with different types of goat cheese-made by us! Ricotta cheese is now a food of the past as we are making our own to include in lasagna, yum!
