The hemp is almost ready for harvest. The babies bunnies are going to their new homes. Another summer winds down as even the crickets sound tired of the heat.
Continental babies snoozing in the afternoon.
Our latest litter of Continental Giant Rabbits born August 10th are just the sweetest litter yet. Not to dis our Flemish babies but I am so smitten with Continentals. They are so personable… so relatable. These guys had just eaten then went and got cozy.
Our family began beekeeping four years ago and began an unending adventure. Among all the other thing we have learned, we realized bees need flowering plants 10 months a year. To enrich our rocky east Tennessee soil and appease Lulu and Arlo, our children who have begged for bunnies for many years, we accidentally became Flemish Giant Breeders. The fertilizer they produce keeps the blooms and produce flourishing most of the year and nourishes our acre of wild blackberry bushes, another favorite nectar source for the bees (and other endangered pollinators). The bunnies also make phenomenal and charming pets. Following the bees has led us to numerous flowering and beautiful endeavors and inspired us to mimic the art we see in our little farm. From our home to yours, enjoy organic produce, berries and herbs straight from the ground, homemade baked and canned delicacies, natural body oils and botanicals and artwork… all free of anything that might harm our planet, children or you.
