It’s 53 degrees outside!
Wow, this winter has seemed to drag on forever! I don’t know if it was all the snow days, the freezing rain or the “feels like” temperatures. With all this winter weather the farm is getting impatient and anxiously awaiting spring.
The birds chirping, the seeds sprouting, the buds blooming and of course the chicks hatching.
I know I’m ready how about you……..?

Fury friends are always coming and going on the farm. Above is a picture of some of our newest goats waiting for all the cuddles.
Science shows that cuddling these adorable animals will:
