July 28, 2019 – 9am to 3pmGallifreyan Farm We’re super pleased to be taking part in the state-wide Open Farm Day. We will add more information as it comes in, but wanted you all to have the chance to clear your…
Needle felted pandas are a fun addition to our “Bigger Hands” series of activities that are great for older kids and grownups! Each of our kits contain a felting needle, and plenty of hand-dyed (and naturally-colored) wool to create at least three roly poly rumbly tumbly little panda friends! The giant panda also known as panda bear or simply panda, is easily recognized by…
It appears that we have a weasel problem. Over the span of a week, we’ve lost 6 of our hens. It started with our oldest girl, Big Brown, then moved onto the two sexlinks, then 4 ISA Browns, one of which I had to dispatch because she’d been eviscerated, but left mostly alive. Truth be told, dispatching her was…
I’ve been giving a lot of thought lately to the very long summer that has been various farmers markets, and the unreal amount of work that we put into them over the past few months. We were a mainstay at the Houlton Community Market this summer, and will be again next year. Not only did we get in a…
Tuesday, May 2nd changed our lived forever. Sometime between noon and 2pm, there was suddenly a lot of wiggling going on in Robin’s nest box (have we updated you on who Robin is? It’s been too long since we’ve posted… lol) We were so very excited to find a total of NINE kits wriggling and squirming and looking like…
Och, jus’ lookit the wee shaggy beastie! Aye, Haggis be her name, and she’s at cuddie’s affa ill-tricket, at een! (mischeivous, in case you don’t speak the Doric dialect). That’s right. Haggis doesn’t live with us.. she lives with our dear friend Lou, not too far from Aberdeen, Scotland. Haggis is a rescue, and was holy matted and unruly when…

Good morning fiber lovers! While we’re sitting on some news (which we will share with you next week), we wanted to take a moment to talk about harvesting fiber from our rabbits. PETA posted a “call to action” on their website in 2013 to boycott products made with angora wool, and for good reason. Commercial producers overseas view their…
Indeed, we are very much looking forward to providing a great variety of veggies from our garden, but we’re not set up for winter growing at the moment. Will we ever be? Perhaps. Can you imagine having fresh vegetables (that don’t come from California) year-round? That is truly mind-blowing. In the meanwhile, all the bunnies are growing like weeds…
We’ve teased you with random photos of our “fluffle“, but our bunnies aren’t just faceless, nameless wool-producing machines. They are living creatures, each with a mind of their own, and amazing personalities. And they are a cherished part of our family. We constantly strive to give them bigger/better living quarters, and might give them a few too many treats…
