A few days after our first major snow fall, when we were mostly stuck inside, our chickens were out enjoying the sunshine and warmer weather. It went from about -10 Celsius or 10 Fahrenheit to about +5 C or about 40 F. The warmer weather inspired A Winter Walk for The Flock here at Briden Farm in Bear River, Nova Scotia.
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!
We love having friends in, and one of our Favourite meals to prepare is Breakfast! Farm Fresh Eggs, Field Mushrooms, Smoked Bacon, Maple Sausage, and Oatmeal Pancakes are just a few of the things that might be included in a Breakfast at Briden Farm! So It Takes A Large Skillet for Making Breakfast at Briden Farm! For now, we gladly make these incredible breakfasts for friends, although someday we hope to do this for AirBnB Guests!
it’s so nice when we reap the bounty of our hard work. The Potatoes are those we grew in Clementsport before moving here to start Briden Farm. The Wild Field Mushrooms were gathered by a friend and I this summer on his Farm. The Steak was from a Bull that attacked a friend on his farm, where I helped out this summer. Of course the whole thing was made using Watkins Products! Things like Watkins Pepper, Garlic Powder, Sea Salt, and other herbs and spices also from Watkins. We love their products.
