Summer is here and quickly leaving. The cows and sheep are on pasture and are very happy. We could use more rain but the pastures are still producing enough for them to eat. We've had 35 calves born this year so the beef population has doubled.
Our chickens have been raised. We bought both meat and laying chicks. The meat chickens are now for sale. The laying hens have just started to lay so we are getting a few eggs a day.
We are busy taking care of the fencing and pastures for the cattle and sheep to be able to graze. There are always branches and bigger limbs that fall on fencing so those need to be found and removed. Big thistle needs to be removed. Brett is pleased with a new flame thrower tool he just got to take care of the thistle without poisons.

The Chelsea Bushel Basket Market has ended but the Chelsea Winter Market begins Saturday November 8th. That market is at the Educational Center on Washington in what was the old Chelsea High School. The best way to the market is right on Freer Road when coming from from Old Us 12 and then left to the Educational Center which was the old Chelsea High School. We will be inside for the following Saturdays until the 19th of December. Grass fed beef is available now and a few dozen eggs. We hope to have more lamb in December.
