Greene Summer
Lots of rain this summer. Hard to grow vegetables but great for grass.
Sneaky Bushes
The cattle have a short cut to taller forage: travel due east through the cool woods, jump the creek, emerge into the lush hidden pasture surrounded by woods. But nevermind the view … it’s all about finding the clovers and orchard grass.
Duke, Sir
This regal animal just arrived at Greene Kitchen Farm to join the herd. Duke sets the bar high for the rest of the American Milking Devon bulls.
Lulu & Little One
Spring Grazing Sheep
Katahdin hair sheep shed their coats each spring. The hair falls off in chunks or hangs like a cape to be found like a towel on the floor. The flock lounges in a rye cover crop in what had been vegetable beds.
Ginger Calf
Eowyn gave birth to her first calf – a heifer. I found her all dried off and curled up under some brush much like she is here.
Old Ground, New Fence
Bale Jumping
The new activity in the barn. It’s a little scary, but very rewarding!
Frost shadow
In the morning sun, the frost flees the low-angled rays. But where the shadow of the animal shades, the frost remains. How long was the cow there? If the frost clings to the ground late in the day, does that mean that unseen cattle are shading it?
Fresh Pastured Turkeys
We’ve got a few smallish turkeys on the shelf in the walk-in that need brines, rubs, roasting pans, ovens, smokers, grills, basters, knives, tongs, serving dishes, tables, plates, salt and pepper, and eaters. Good eating!
