Farm News, Fox News

June 20, 2014 by

This is a shortened version of “Farm News” published by Jerry Kitt from First Nature Farms.   Last month I saw my first fox and wrote about it in the “Farm News”. What I didn’t mention was the exact moment I was writing about the fox, I glanced out the window and there was the fox … [Read more...]

Piglets and swans: Spring at the farm

May 23, 2014 by

Unlike most occupations which have a time to start and a time to finish, work on the farm has no end. There is always work that needs doing, especially in spring with seeding is around the corner and with pigs farrowing and cows calving, the days get filled to the maximum. Back in March, the … [Read more...]

Farm Olympics

March 18, 2014 by

Farm Olympics happen everyday in the pig pasture. Feeding the sows who weigh in at 200 – 300 kilograms requires a lot of skill and I’m sure many Olympic athletes would find it quite challenging. The goal is to get the pig food spread evenly in the feed troughs and quickly so that all the pigs can … [Read more...]

Farm News: More problems on the road

February 23, 2014 by

Driving down the road with a trailer full of pigs, what could go wrong? That’s when it happened. I think 21 was a record for the most pigs I needed to haul at once. Everyone wanted pigs on the same day and there was no changing their minds. The pigs loaded nice and settled in well to their new … [Read more...]

From The Farm / De la ferme

January 24, 2014 by

Yes Jerry, there is a Santa Claus, or miracles, or incredible good luck. Christmas on the farm means turkey season and 95 turkeys had been getting ready for the event. Part of our Goodfare tradition is the Christmas turkey catch, this year with eighteen neighbours ranging in age from two years to me … [Read more...]

From the Farm / De la ferme

December 13, 2013 by slowadmin

By Jerry Kitt “First Nature Farms is a family farm”… That line hasn’t changed for years. We certainly started out as a “family” farm thirty years ago but time goes on, relationships evolve, and children become adults and they leave home. The only part of the family that was left on the farm was … [Read more...]

From The Farm / De la ferme

November 20, 2013 by slowadmin

By Jerry Kitt Cows come home! I was starting to get a little worried. The cows were gone and the last time I saw them they were 16 km away. That may not seem like a long distance if you’re travelling by road but moving cows through the forest is nearly impossible for a non-cowboy like me. That’s … [Read more...]

From The Farm / De la ferme

By / Par Jerry Kitt Hunting season has arrived and our normally quiet road is seeing lots of new traffic. Usually two guys in a pickup truck. It’s easy to tell the hunters from the locals, they don’t tend to wave. All of our land is posted “No Hunting,” not that I mind hunters but I like to offer … [Read more...]

From the Farm / De la ferme

September 23, 2013 by slowadmin

By / Par Jerry Kitt The time has come for the laying hens to give up laying eggs in the chicken coop. “Every time I lay an egg, someone steals it!” (That someone would be me). The goal of the hens is not to provide nutrition for the humans but to start a new family. To do so they must lay an egg … [Read more...]
