Info on camels milk

The Autism File » Got [Camel] Milk?

This article explains some of the background behind our desire to become the first southern Oregon Camel  milk farm.

Progress on this is slow but steady.  We did just order and receive special milking equipment designed to not damage the animal as normal commercial milk equipment  does.  More on this in another post.

Turkey season officially started today  at the farm!  We discovered the first two Turkey eggs in this makeshift best in the barn


Kubota RTV with a child seat?

Life on our farm isnt complete without our little sprouts tagging along in all that we do. But what do you do with the little ones  when you go out in pasture? Well, in our case you mount a car seat into the Kubota RTV and bring them safely right along!

Here is Everett enjoying a ride in the back seat while we do chores.




Looking a little bored with Daddy's picture taking.... where are those animals again!?!

A Proud Tom Turkey

This guy is one of our younger toms, but one of the most beautiful. He is the one that (if you look through old blog posts) was born with odd grey coloring. When he matured, he became a very unique Narragansett indeed! HE is not shy either, just ask and he is happy to show off his colors.
