Starting another round of chicks for the year, 27 eggs going in the incubator! Just had 2 silkie hens go broody so hopefully can sneak the chicks under them and they can do all the work for us! #grownostr #tsp #chicks #chickens #silkie #incubator #selfsufficient #homestead #homesteader #familyfarm #eggs #chickeneggs

Just some muscovy ducks enjoying the snow and pond. They are so tough! They rarely use their shelter and are very hands off, especially if you have a pond! #grownostr #ducks #muscovyducks #homestead #homesteading #tsp #farmlife #farm #farmanimals

Well I don't know if this counts, but this is a kohlrabi we grew last season that got pretty big! An interesting vegetable some people might not know about. I certainly never heard of it or seen one growing up! It's similar in taste and texture to if you combined a diakon radish and a potato. Plus they look really cool! #grownostr #naturevibes #tsp #gardening #vegetables #veggies #homesteading #homestead #farmlife

Sofia was a little scared to pet the new piglets, but she stepped up to the plate! This is our 2nd year raising 4 hogs, really fun animal to raise and actually one of the easier ones! Plus you get ham and bacon at the end of it all, hard to beat that!! #grownostr #hogs #pigs #piglets #homesteading #homestead #familyfarm #familylife #farmlife #bacon

Here's those sheep I've been talking about. They are all katahdin except we have 1 Barbados who was a bottle baby. It's so helpful to have 1 that's so tame. We can lead her into their new paddock and all the rest follow just like that! So much fun having a calmer herd you can get close to! 3 of them have had their babies so far, 2 had triplets and 1 had a single. Still waiting for a few more to have their lambs! #grownostr #sheep #katahdin #livestock #homesteading #homestead #farmlife #lambs

Harvested our own katahdin sheep this month! Got 30 pounds of ground from 2 sheep, and it tastes amazing! Looking forward to eating the leg of lamb and the lamb steaks! #grownostr #tsp #sheep #katahdin #meat #selfsufficiency #selfsufficient #farmlife #homestead #homesteading #homegrown

Got the last 3 raised beds built over the weekend, ready for all the berry plants coming this week! Can't wait to get some perennials in that I don't have to plant every year! And looking forward to it being easier to keep up with the weeds! #grownostr #homesteading #tsp #gardening #berries #homestead #farmlife #selfsufficiency
