Our First Turkey Egg!

One of our Royal Palms laid the first turkey egg of the season! 

It was found in a small milk crate where our chickens lay their eggs. How she got that big body in there to lay it is a mystery!

Now to contemplate, start up the incubator or not, hmmmmm.

 

Spring has Sprung

Spring has Sprung! This morning we woke up to the birth of our 6th generation of Coon Hollow Farm's English Angora Rabbits! This litter is quite exciting because we got not only got 4 for a first-time mom, but we got some colors that we have never been able to breed before. I think we finally got the right combination in genetics! 

This little one is our first ever bred Blue Eyed white! We also got 2 blacks and the jury is still out on the fourth, possibly a blue but in time we will know. It's a very fragile time for these little ones. I've checked on them all day just to find one with its mother's wool that she pulled wrapped around its body. Her nest is nicely made though. We will continue to check on them multiple times a day.

 

Eggs are back!

 Our eggs are back! Just days before the first day of Spring our chickens are laying fast! We are working on opening our farmstand for easy pickup of eggs and other items as well. Call the farm line @ 203-881-1986 for eggs today!

Changing to Earth friendlier packaging

 

Shifting from our last post and moving on into a different direction, it was time to look at what we do and how we do it. Switching over to these Earth friendlier packaging bags just made sense from the plastic containers we have used in the past for our felting kits. As we get ready for Spring events (listed on the side bar), we are offering these cute little sheep felting kits with everything you need to make your little sheep, as well as a variety of others. They come in white or grey and have everything you will need including the glass eyes.

Our commitment to sustainability should reflect in all we do.
