If you all enjoy them i'll be sure to take alot more in the spring,maybe do a little whats in season type thing,let me know!
 
Very nice are there fish in the pond?
 
oh yeah,we stock the pond every few years...we can't help ourseleves to take a few for dinner every now and again!!!
 
I like the in season type idea if you have time. Looks like you all have plenty to do to keep up.Your farm is beautiful. The rest of us can only drool.
 
Thanks for the upbeat photos of your farm, it looks great. For me, the next 2 months are the longest of the year as it seems to take forever for Spring to arrive. Right now it's snowing here outside Philadelphia, can't even do anything outside which really sucks. Come on warm weather!
 
Wow dont know how I missed this one. What a great and pretty place you have. And I thought I had work with 1.3 Acres LOL
 
Thanks for all the kind words....to scar in full swing of summer its no problem to work 100hrs. a week.thereis always something that needs done!
