Our First Meal Grown On Briden Farm

1 Comment
First Home Grown Meal

Tonight was special, we’ve owned this place for one year and two weeks, to the day. So, this spring we used goats and pigs to clear land for pasture and some of that pasture we turned into garden. Unfortunately we won’t be getting much of a crop as the soil is very nitrogen deficient. 

As a result, I don’t expect to have enough potatoes for Winter, and the green and even the yellow beans I interplanted with them are stunted. So, we figure we might as well enjoy them now. 

We also have turned our Berkshire Pigs into Pork at this point and that’s currently being processed at the butcher. Today we got the heart and liver. We also picked enough new potatoes, and green and yellow beans, to make a nice supper. We actually bought the onions for the liver and onions, but everything else was grown here. Our first meal grown on Briden Farm. The Liver was like sweet, juicy, and tender… Steak!

It’s only been a few short months ago that our garden area was wilderness and Hardwood-lands, and now we hope to have at least a small harvest this Fall. 

We started by fencing pastures with old Mink Cages, and running our Nigerian Dwarf Goats through them, followed by our Berkshire Pigs. Then after they had done the fertilizing and tilling, we began to plant our gardens. For which we previously did a 4 Part Garden Tour Video Series.

Now, 5 Weeks later, we do another walk through and You get to Tour Our Vegetable Gardens at Briden Farm …
