Corny Dolls at Briden Farm

Corn Dolls

This is sort of a takeoff of something I’ve wondered about for a long time! Did the Wampanoag or Pequot or perhaps the Pilgrims (All Ancestors) ever make Dolls like this from the corn they grew? These are made from the Dent Corn we planted and we’ll dry them to use for next year’s seed. Dent Corn is used for both making Corn Meal and Livestock Feed.

A little research shows that many of the Tribes, and others, have made Corn Dolls, and many of them make mine look primitive!

Cherry Carnival 2023

For 130 Years, The People of Bear River, Nova Scotia, have invited people to come celebrate the Bear River Cherry Carnival. This year we at #BridenFarm have been so busy trying to work around the ongoing rains that we unfortunately won’t have a Float! However, the Bear River Cherry Carnival will go ahead as planned on 22 July 2023. Remember you can have the opportunity to walk the Greased Pole and grab the $100 Prize! 

Here’s a list of Activities at the 130th Bear River Cherry Carnival…

What is it really like to be a Traditional Regenerative Farmer?

Learn to Farm

I guess we could use our own photos, and videos, but sometimes it’s easier to share what we find. How we learn by watching, reading, and constantly learning. We’re currently watching The Biggest Little Farm. It does a great job of really showing what it’s like… 

That is the Trailer, the Movie is on Netflix. F you think we’re “living your dream” or that it’s easy, or peaceful, or less stress, be sure to watch it! 

If You think you have what it takes, and you like to learn more. If you like to learn traditional, small farm, homesteading, regenerative farming techniques and experience it all first hand, we invite You to check out our WWOOF Host Profile, and if you’re still interested, then contact us.
