Greetings from Hidden Springs Farm!

    August is half-way over and we are doing the rain dance at Hidden Springs farms.  It seems like it has been weeks since our last rain and the pastures are crying for some rain.  The weatherman says we have a good chance for rain later this week and we are keeping our fingers crossed.......and our "dancing shoes" on just in case the weatherman is wrong.

   We'd like to introduce Lincoln; the newest addition to our farm.  Lincoln is a 20 year old quarterhorse that acts like he is 1/2 his age.  I am new to quarterhorses so I am learning how to ride the trot.  Its a bit bouncey compare to the running walk that the Walking Horses do.  Lincoln is a gentleman and gets along very well with Bonnie and Rebel.  He is a big boy too; 16.3 hands.  And, he really likes to GO!

   We've sold all of our Boer kids but will have several Angoras for sale in October.  (Check out our sale barn page on the website for pictures.  www.hiddenspringsfarms.com)  The boer goat kids are cute, but I must admit, I have fallen head over heels for the angora kids.  Their colors are fabulous and they are as sweet as they can be.  Who couldn't fall in love with a face like this:

Litte Ernie and his brother Bert have the sweetest personalities.  The picture doesn't do justice.  You need to see these guys in person!

   We are still harvesting herbs and veggies from the garden.  There is nothing more enjoyable then harvesting fresh herbs from the garden.  The aroma fills the kitchen. In our next newsletter we will be featuring some receipes from Chef Elaine at the Lowes Vanderbilt.  Watch for those to be coming very soon! 

   We welcome you to visit us.  Call or email to schedule a time!
