HAPPY 8th BIRTHDAY to this awesome #FarmDog

Started a Covid rink.....

If you have a Safari/Skandic with a sight glass on the tank and it leaks or is about to....1/4 tank fitting 90 from Canadian tire x2 and some 1/4 clear fuel line. Here’s your fix for $35

Cool fact... Methane bubbles at the end of this log, trapped in the ice.

1st time I’ve ever seen an angel’s wing cloud display at the Farm. Truly beautiful, the picture doesn’t grasp the delicacy of the cloud edges.

Fixing up wheel wells on the 09 Ram. Farm truck duty awaits

Well a little sad to see the grazing season end but all said n done, lots of people benefitted from this awesome experience. We look forward to next summer’s program with Hay Family Farm & Firewood

BIG DAY here at the farm! Chris from Hay Family Farm & Firewood brought 7 cattle over for a fall grazing program. Words cant express how cattle make me feel. A beginning to a great relationship between two #Muskokafarmsmatter Next years grazing program should be a great experience for the two ventures.

A before and after photo of rail fence repairs. The plan is to save enough $ to replace this entire length of rail fence with high tensile electric in the next decade to facilitate planned grazing on either side. 32 acres of pasture broken down to paddocks for rotational grazing.

Ned , Noah & I are doing a Little bit of rd upgrades for new rain deluges

72,600 sq yards officially repaired & fenced off & 50 of gates installed!! Roughly 900+ feet of electric twin tape fencing to run up the centre & its Bovine time baby!Grandma, Noah, Molly & Jenny did awesome! Only another 30 acres to go .... next year

Picnic lunch! We heard from lots of angry squirrels when the rails were on the ground. We had their highway under construction, no living thing likes the process of road improvements apparently

Gettin there! ..... Noah & Gram on fence duty today

This is why you are supposed to keep saplings out of direct fence lines......this 750 meter section of fencing will need to be offset by 4, in two directions in the coming years with high tensile fencing to create a straighter set of lines.

This is where we are going.....

Repairs to make it another couple years. B4 & After

Picked 51.5 lbs of beans so far its amazing what 40 planted bean seeds can do......
