Farmers' Market Vacation
Posted 8/21/2009 8:54pm by Heather Redden.
Hello Everyone,
I've got a bit of bad news; I'm beat! I've decided that I need a market vacation and so I won't be at the farmers' market tomorrow. We've had a hard few days. We are doing battle with a night time predator that has been injuring and killing some of our chickens. This is one of the challenges that all livestock farmers face at some point and we have been shown a weak spot in our night time defenses that we must correct. Hopefully, there will be a fox, raccoon, or possum in the trap in the morning. It's a live trap. We always prefer to relocate the wildlife that decide to take advantage of the chickens. It's not the wild animals fault that we have placed such temptation in their path. Hopefully, I will be back next week with a spring in my step and a story or two to share.
Sincerely,
Heather Redden
