Forest Hollow Homestead

Mini barn in the hollow 🌳

Fall is in the air , but the fluffy butts don’t care….as long as the snacks continue! 🥕 🥦

Our newest human kid is 3 months old today 💕

Loving these 7pm bright skies that spring brings….but not so much the mud holes 😖
I guess we can’t have one without the other 🤷🏼‍♀️

Meet the new kid around here, Baby Ruby.
She was born in the wee hours of Friday morning . She and her mama , Zoey, are adjusting well so far. We’re loving this little fluff ball of cuteness 🐐💕

The past few months have been a little tough and ALOT busy. Our family has added a new little member (number five !) and moved to a different home. Though it was very sad to say goodbye to our old homestead, we’re all excited to start fresh in our new little home.
We no longer live by a creek nor do we have as large of a barn….but we now have woodland! Matter of fact, our mini barn , our coops and much of our upcoming projects are all situated in the forest in a small hollow under a canopy of green. It’s a change of scenery and pace for us and our livestock. Though I loved the sound of the flowing creek we had before, I also love the shady habitat and the natural playground we now have. I also forgot to mention, we’re now living in my childhood home and raising our children ,right down to our chickens , in the forest I grew up playing in.
Though we had to downsize our livestock for the move and much of our endeavours are starting from scratch, I’m really excited to try new things and improve on some
Others. I can’t wait for spring gardens and new fuzzy chicks. Not to Mention further ventures into the woods , getting closer to better health and sustainability and making memories!

Happy chickens with lobster scraps 🦞

We have two, one year old male guinea pigs for sale.
They are brothers and have never been apart, so they must go together . They come with their two story lodge hutch . They’re both good -natured though one is much more shy than the other. If interested , message for more info.

After delivering 3.5 dozen eggs today...this is ALL we have left ....😅

Dusk on the homestead 🌙

I think we may run out of eggs !.....😬😳

Puppies have started on solids today. They were very excited to get started!

These young
Girls first ever snowfall !
The little silkie (Oonagh) came stumbling out looking very confused. It was definitely a Monday for her 😆

Though I’m NOT a fan of winter (especially winter weather during hobby farm tasks ), this first real snow fall is quite pretty .

Today’s downpour was pretty exciting to
The ducks and geese! The goats , on the other hand, didn’t share the enthusiasm ...

Family portrait! Pups are 2 weeks old today and all closing in on 2 lbs 😍

It’s getting chilly now...especially early in the mornings . I’m always amazed at animals adaptability to changing weather and conditions. I especially notice my nearly bald potbelly piggy has grown in a thick , bristle of hair for the winter . 🐽

Pugs in a row 🖤🐾

It’s been an exciting week here welcoming four new pups!
Miss Rhea is a wonderful mama and Myles a proud daddy! ❤️

Nighttime chores at the homestead 🌙🖤

Love when the air is crisp, the ground is covered with a layer of crunchy leaves and the sky is the pinkish hue of dusk . 🍁❤️🌅

I love all the fallen leaves and fall colours 🍁

Chickens are enjoying their new run

Who needs a tiller when you have a piggy 🐷 ?
