Happy New Year, mostly

The lack of posts has not been for lack of farm happenings, it's just that one of the farm's grandmothers broke her leg the day after Christmas and it has put a damper in our blog mojo.
But, we're back!



We have fava beans on the left there, with some chard on the right. Luckily a co-worker of Jennie's gave her some fava bean seeds and we got a good early start on these gals this year. We've had plenty of rain that has allowed us not to have to turn the hose on cept' to water the chickens.



That there is Gladys eyeing some weeds I am offering for a breakfast snack. Besides not seeming to enjoy the cooler Northern California weather, the chickens are all doing very well. We expect to get some eggs towards the end of the month. Maybe my birthday cake can be baked with Oaktown Farm eggs!

We have had enough rain this season so far to also start a little mushroom side project. Although we are not eating these, the chickens have and lived to tell the tale.
