Chickens and farming and restaurants. Oh my!

Greetings!
Anyone who knows me knows that if I get started talking about the joys of having chickens it's hard to get me to shut up. I'm excited to announce that I will get the chance to talk my heart out on Friday, April 30. I will be speaking with those attending the Granny's Garden Plant Sale held at the Loveland Elementary School. It sounds like a great event and a wonderful program. I will be there along with a few of my chickens from 3:00-7:00 on Friday evening. Come out and check out the sale to get some great plants and get a chance to talk a little chicken. Here is a link to the Granny's Garden website for more information. http://www.grannysgardenschool.com/
The farm is super busy. We are building fence (one of these days we'll actually keep the sheep in). We have chickens of all ages in three different houses, two brooders, and our second bathroom. The turkey poults and silkie chicks are in the bathroom for some extra TLC since those baby turkeys are so darn delicate. Lambing season ended with a total of 8 Shetland and 4 Icelandic lambs. The winter was extremely difficult on honey bees in our area. I've installed some new packages to replace some of my lost hives. And the horses are still hanging out and overseeing everything.
We are really excited about a new opportunity. Brandon's beautiful Romaine lettuce has been purchased by some local restaurants. It has now been served at Chalk Food + Wine, JeanRo Bistro, and Local 127. The next time you're thinking about a place to go out to eat please consider one of the Relish Group restaurants. They are very supportive of local farmers and go to great lengths to source as much of what they serve locally as possible. Please check out this link for more on the restaurants. http://relishrestaurantgroup.com/
Sincerely,
Heather and Brandon Redden
