Mid Winter...

The cows in the paddock behind the house.  Blissful evening!

 

Our current wwoofer - Janine - with one of her babies she is helping to raise.  She's doing a marvelous job - and they are now out kicking up their heels in the paddock - still getting their warm milk in the morning and arvo - of course!

Transition day for the baby chickens - this is when they were moved from their broody room (where they spend day 1 to about 7-8 weeks) to their bona-fide Chookie A-Frame in the paddock.  They spend a few days getting aquainted to their new home before they are let out in the sunlight and grass to go bug hunting! So curious and so noisy at this stage!

We're having a great winter - always muddy - but managing well so far.
Hope the sun is shining on you.  

Changing Times

Hello out there from South Gippsland…

This is a picture of our youngest in the cow shed a few months ago.

We have had to come to the unbelieveably hard decision to discontinue bottling our Bath Milk.  We are very humbled by it's lovely following, but have made the change for personal reasons.

This little boy is going to be a big brother - which will finish our family with four children in September, and we are struggling to make it all work with so many jobs to do as a family and on the farm.

Thanks to all of our lovely bath milk "bathers" over the past year.  We gave it a good crack, but sometimes we just have to know when to finish something before it puts too many other important things out of whack.

If it helps at all - our milk is supplied into our Organic Dairy Farmers Co-op (which has a gorgeous new website here...) and into Red Hills Cheese.  Pretty much all of the organic milk products sold in Australia come from our cows and from other family farms with integrity.
Stay warm out there.
