Like much of California, we were hit by PG&E’s Public Safety Power Shutoff this weekend. While there’s plenty to grumble about with regards to PG&E, it’s not going to help get the power back on.
It is mid-January and I have been slowly, and peacefully, planting our winter garden. The biggest struggle right now is keeping the slugs and snails away.
Over Thanksgiving Break, the kids and I spent some time getting the tack room and one stall in the barn operational. I’d hoped to get two stalls up and running, but I can’t install all the plywood until the electrical is in and inspected.
A barn has been a dream of ours for a long time. In June, our barn project started. It has been exciting to see our ideas take form. Here are some photos of the process.
Our barn project started this week. This is exciting! Deciding on the look/configuration of the barn and going through the permitting process has taken some time. Here we go!
As of today, all of our 2017 lambs are sold. We are so happy for the families who purchased them. I love being a part of the beauty of their births and helping them thrive.
Last weekend we had our second annual McCabe Family Farm farm day. Our farm day is a chance for us to share our new lambs and other animals with friends and family. Our hearts were touched by all who came and visited. Thank you for spending time with us.
