The Dixie Henhouse Homestead

By day, I work with at-risk juvenile court involved youth. By night, my family and I have a small mini farm in the foothills of North Carolina. By no means do I profess to be a pro. I am just a working mom who is learning as I go. Our farm is home to three cats, a big lug of a fluffy white livestock guardian dog, a flock of chickens, pigs, and Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats. I am an avid reader, Walking Dead addict, secret reality show junkie, and crime show buff. Come follow my adventures.

Gettin' Our Veggie On

The last couple of weekends at Ellis Farms have been pretty busy. Since we both have full time jobs, the weekends are when we get the biggest chunk of work done on the farm. We've begun our gardening for the new season and planted out "cold ground" veggies. So far, we've done potatoes, cabbage, spinach, brussel sprouts, broccoli, carrots, red onion, and sweet onion. We also planted 3 blueberry bushes of different varieties. Looking forward to the harvest!
