Fall Greetings From Hidden Springs Farms
Posted 10/31/2011 10:21am by Karen Wortman .
A Happy Fall Greetings from Hidden Springs Farm,
The leaves are changing colors and the mornings have been crisp and cool. A few mornings even felt like we'd skipped fall all together and went directly to winter. Anyways, we love fall her on the farm. Things are starting to slow down and the cooler weather makes it so enjoyable to be outside. The horses are starting to get their winter coats and it won't be long before they are all wooly!
Thanks to everyone that supported the Robertson County Farmer's Market this year. We had our last market this past Saturday. It was a great year and we so enjoy meeting and seeing everyone. Amazing as it is, it won't be long before we are all back at the market again!
OK, so now for the Pig update: WE ARE PIG FREE! YES! Jon, our oldest son came over last Tuesday and after lots of pulling and pushing, we got the pigs loaded in the trailer. My parents were also here and helped to keep the pigs from pushing down the small alleyway I made to get them from the pen to the trailer. I am sure if we had a video camera rolling, we could have won America's Funniest Video. The pigs screamed their heads off and Jon says the smell will never get out of his boots. Now I am just waiting for the processor to call and let me know I can pick up the finished products. I am a huge animal lover but I can honestly say I did NOT shed a single tear when Porkchop, Hambone, and Wilbur left.
This weekend is the Christmas Sampler in Springfield. This is a huge event and we are very excited to be attending this year. The event is at "The Center" in downtown Springfield, and runs Friday, Nov. 4th from 4:00 - 9:00 pm and Saturday, Nov. 5th from 8:30 - 5:00 For more details you can visit the website at: www.christmassampler.org
Our calves, Josie and Clarabell, have been weaned now. I have to say, I do miss our daily bottles. I am sure both girls would agree. They are getting big and Clarabell was actually sick. But, thanks to our neighbors, the Gunn's, Clarabell got a big shot and is doing great now. Josie by far has the biggest personality. She just wants to be loved on. Here she is giving our grandson, Tyler, a cow kiss:
The Turkeys are entering their final month. We will be driving them to Bowling Green on the 22nd of November. I still have a couple available for Thanksgiving if anyone is interested. They are looking very good. It will be so quiet once they leave. It is amazing how loud they can be. Every little sound causes them to sound off.
I've had several emails asking about our classes. We will start back up in late Feb/early March. We rest and recover during Nov/Dec/Jan. We will have some new classes this year plus our most popular soap-making, raising chicken & goats, and making herbal salves will be offered more frequently.
As we enter November, we wanted to take a minute to wish everyone a Wonderful Thanksgiving! We are thankful for family and friends and all of our customers. So, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!
