Zoe & Gang Comes To Briden Farm

We’ve been straight out this past week preparing, moving, and getting things all sorted out as Zoe & Gang Comes To Briden Farm! You might say the whole thing kind of got our Goat! Or perhaps I should say …  5 New Goats! 

Looking at the photo, and starting from the top left, it’s Zoe, the little Black Doe with the Floppy Ears. Next, standing back to is Emma, and side on, to Emma’s right, is Honey. Honey is the Herd Queen and rules the others! Standing in the foreground are Bunny, with the white markings, and her brother, a withered Pygmy Buck, named Turbo!
 
For more information on any of these goats, come visit us at Briden Farm, or call us at 902-907-0770.

Hilling Potatoes at Briden Farm

Hilling Potatoes at Briden Farm

Planting sun loving vegetables like Potatoes in a shaded garden, woodland, garden is probably not the best thing to do! The Plants are becoming very lanky, and until the recent rain, they had very small leaves. Now, after the rain, the leaves have filled out and the plants have climbed to a thigh high height. All of this has me doing my best to Hoe Potatoes at Briden Farm. Hoeing Potatoes means raking, or hoeing, up the dirt around the Potato Plants. It not only, somewhat, helps support the plants, it also helps give the tubers a place to grow, and helps to keep them covered. Keeping the soil hilled up around the Plants is crucial as it helps encourage growth and also keeps the tubers avoid direct exposure to the light. When potatoes are exposed to light they can turn green, and that can make them toxic! You can read more about that at Street Smart Kitchen

Special Thank You To Bear River Friends

As I write that Title, I think of all the Friends in Bear River who truly deserve a huge THANK YOU! Most of whom will not be mentioned in this Post, but you know who you are! 😉 

You see, this Post is to Thank two people who stepped up when we needed someone to provide positive comments about “Chicken TV at Briden Farm”. 

Recently, when Michael MacDonald, producer for Eastlink Community TV, come out to do an Eastlink Magazine Feature on Briden Farm in April, he asked if we could have a couple locals do a short interview. The first two I asked said Yes! 

So, the two we want to thank, not only for being great friends, and followers of “Chicken TV at Briden Farm “, but also for providing excellent interviews for the Briden Farm Feature, which originally aired 7pm, June 6, 2021, on Eastlink Magazine.Those two are Kelly Foxton, and Jonathan Welch. 

Kelly Foxton, children’s book author & illustrator, wildlife & portrait artist, and owner of Bear Town Pizza,  has worn any hats over the years, including former President of the Bear River Board of Trade

Jonathan Welch, a long-standing Director for the Bear River Board of Trade, and Owner of Sissiboo Coffee Roaster.

Both Jon, and Kelly, are great friends and always ready to help, not only us, but the Community as a whole. For that and their continued service over the years, we thank them.

We also want to take a moment to thanks all our friends and supporters, for all your help and encouragement both now and over the years! We love each and everyone of You!
