Farmers Golf Anyone!?

Our Chicken Laid a Golf Ball

Even before starting Briden Farm, we thought about someday having a place where we can play Farmer’s Golf! We first played Farmer’s Golf at Hennigar’s in Greenwich, Nova Scotia. Their course meanders through their orchards and we were even told to have an apple if we saw one we liked! If You’ve never had the opportunity to play Farmer’s Golf, check out this lovely description on Hennigar’s Farmer’s Golf Page, or visit the website for the Farmer’s Golf courses in the Netherlands, where there are a number of Courses, where the game was developed! 

So, now that You understand what I mean by Farmer’s Golf, and I am seriously considering having a Farmer’s Golf course here at Briden Farm! You’ll appreciate just how kismet things can be sometimes and also how truly willing to please our Chickens really are! 

See, the other day, as we were working to make a fence for the our Nigerian Dwarf Goat Bucks, near the Hen House, I literally stumbled on an old Golf Club! Then, within an hour, we saw the strangest thing in the Hen House! One of our Hens laid a Golf Ball! Or, at least an egg, shaped like a Real Golf Ball! Some Hen! 

Thai Food at Briden Farm

Thai Food at Briden Farm

So, when it come to cleaning up our leftovers this week, we decided to take some inspiration from our friend Tak Phi who sells Authentic Thai Food at the Bear River Legion on Thursdays from 4:30-7pm.  

Now, when Tak makes her Authentic Thai Food it’s not made from leftovers! However, that’s exactly what ours was made from! We used the leftover Meats, Mushrooms, and other leftovers from a recent Breakfast at Briden Farm and puréed Baked Squash and Watkins Curry Herbs and Spices

Now, if You want some incredible Authentic Thai food, go see our friend Tak at the Bear River Legion on Thursday Evenings! If that won’t work for You, checkout her posts on Digby Talks on FaceBook!

We’re in a Stew at Briden Farm

Stew At Briden Farm

Perhaps we should say, we’re having a stew at Briden Farm, or we had a stew at Briden Farm, but saying, “We’re in a Stew at Briden Farm” is far more interesting! Right? 

Anyway, we did recently have an excellent Stew when we used the juice left over in the frying pan from when we had Smothered Steak, Rice, and Stewed Onions.we took the juice, poured it in a crock pot, added the stew meat, and topped with cut up carrots and potatoes that we grew in our garden. It turned out very good as is evidenced here in the photo. Probably, due at least in part, du to the Watkins Herbs & Spices we used.
