August is our local fair and we ARE showing animals and helping our FFA friend with Miss Diva
August 26-27 is our Trunk Show at fibre space in Alexandria, VA, but due to their moving plans, may be postponed
November is the next Disney retreat at Coronado Springs.

What’s Cookin’?

The Barn Report
Summer is worm season and they can be devastating to sheep. We are practicing FAMACHA and worming everyone as needed. That mild winter did nothing to help kill off the parasites!
Still putting up hay and mowing the pastures.
We’ve had a new addition to the dog pack here on the farm – Meet Gus, the 8 wk old Basset Hound puppy. We’ve had Bassets from nearly 30 years and he’s pretty darn awesome.

Foodie Finds
Taco Mamacita
Coco’s Italian Market

Word on the Street
