Locals keep calling the state police on the young farmer who is chopping silage and mowing hay till midnight. The kid lost his father last year. Personally, I hope these people starve if we see supply chain breakdowns.

It is with a heavy heart that I announce that my next door neighbor's beautiful herd of cows was liquidated at auction yesterday. The low price of milk killed the farm. They sold for $450 to $850. Most went to slaughter. We are now the last farm standing on this road.

This is the rescue dog who pulled one of our vet clinic clients who had adopted him out of a burning house. A hefty dog, he pulled and supported her as they made way down hall and stairs to a safe distance. What a dog hero.

Our barn in winter. Main barn built in a community barn raising the year after the Civil War ended. Biggest barn in area at the time, a time of community optimism. The wing on barn was a barn on Tug Hill that g’parents dismantled, brought by horse drawn wagon to this farm.

My late grandpa. By age 4, tended geese for a nobleman. By 14, in the coal mines of Poland. At 19, to NYC and then on to upstate NY where he delivered coal in Utica till he could buy a farm. Farmed actively until 90 years old.

Here’s a little video of Tilt, a older dog we just got. He is kind of scared but I think he will like farm life. The shelter named him Tilt because of uneven jowls, one side of face hangs down a bit from an old porcupine quills episode. Nobody wanted him so he can stay with us.
