Adventures in Southern Farm Life
We are now one step closer to adding chickens to our farm! We opted to purchase a used coop and give it a little TLC to start our flock. Yesterday, we borrowed our neighbor’s flatbed trailer and drove to a town north of Birmingham…
Planning ahead for things we will need to do with the goats: hoof trimming, immunizations, milking…Noah made a goat stand. This stand is designed to gently trap the goats head whilst he/she enjoys a nice snack. There’s also and option to lasso the back…

We have arrived! After traveling over 1,300 miles, our convoy of vehicles have arrived! We left Colorado the morning of May 26, 2020, a little later than planned, but definitely before our mandated exit time. Our group consisted of my car, Noah in his…
