Van's Journal

Two of these piggies are sooo excited to see me as they are about to be fed. Not sure you can make it out, but the "piggie" on my left is "mooning me." A friend of mine said the mooning one is "just a precocious wild thing!!!"






Lots of tomatoes still on the vines.









We are still picking the tomatoes a little pink to try and stay in front of all the stink bugs, possums, crows, and squirrels.















Speaking of varmints, you know the cantaloupe are ripe when they start getting eaten by the raccoons.








Such as the number some "coon" did on this cantaloupe. Must have been "finger licken' good" as not much is left.







Monday, one of our harvest days.














Not sure what type of bird (white) this is, but it is neat to watch how patient they can be. Real hunters as they stand in our marsh until something tasty swims within reach of their beaks.


Princess, our guard cat, was born in 1993. She is the last of five siblings and still going strong.









Our "guard rabbit?" Nope, just a friendly "cotton tail" out munching for some tasty grass, or maybe some of our salad greens.
















We've had this sign denoting our farm at our gate for a few months now, but have never really publicized it online. Many thanks to Chris Hill at Hill Design for the graphic design and Mike Harris at VCI Group Visual Communications for the actual sign. It really makes a difference as both Chris and Mike did a fantastic job.
