In the spring of 2016 we decided it was time we needed a green house. We had been collecting parts and pieces for the last year and finally had everything that we needed to put the green house together.
Here is the list of items needed and the cost for each:
Tempo frame: 20$ (Found at a garage sale)
Bolts, screws and tape: 50$ (Local COOP store)

Boards and 2" x 6"'s: (Milled ourselves)

Summer is coming very fast... We're preparing for the arrival of the piglets and chicks in May. The seedlings are growing like mad, eagerly awaiting the warmer weather to head outside. The cows are out on pasture and the calves have just began arriving. 8 so far. And last but not least, our Quarter horse Shadow had her first foal, HE..is a bay Paint horse, just 2 days old now.

Nous nous sommes procurés des poussins d'un cousin à Jacob qui achète des oeufs fertiles de différentes races de poules pondeuses. Ameraucana est une race qui va pondre des oeufs d'une couleur bleu.
New arrivals. We purchased some day old Ameraucana chicks the other day from Goshendale Poultry. By summer we should be collecting a few blue eggs from our mobile chicken coop. So farm they are highly entertaining and growing like weeds! Thank you Trevor Paterson!
