New Goats at Briden Farm

We have New Goats at Briden Farm! We are also missing two! Momma and Snow White! Now they’re not really missing, but they’ve moved on to greener pastures! Well, not really, well… maybe! Actually they’re not to faraway, but they do have a new home over on Waldeck Line! We worked out a deal with a friend who loves them and will provide a good home for them. It also will allow us to visit. 

The deal with our friend also meant our getting a new Goat, Buttercup (who I really think is more of an Oreo!) Here’s a video of Buttercup, a Saanen / Alpine Mix, playing with Nanna’s Kids, and Eve, our new Saanen Milking Goat, and Nanna, our Nigerian Dwarf Goat, the mother of the two little kids.

It’s a short video, but we think you’ll like it as it captures some of the Fun here at Briden Farm. 

A Crazy, Busy, Spring at Briden Farm!

10 Crazy Busy Weeks

Now, I know that our closest friends and supporters know that we’re always crazy! Lately though, especially over the past seven weeks, it’s been crazy busy! 

On the 22 February we had eggs hatching in our incubator and we had been tending them for three weeks prior! So really, I guess it’s actually been more like 10 weeks of Crazy Busy here at #BridenFarm 

Soon after the Chicks hatching, we began gathering Sap and Making Maple Syrup! That of course kept us busy for a few weeks! We kept it small, mainly just for us, as this was our first Maple Syrup Season in a few years! 

Then, by the end of March, Nanna had her Kids! Kidding Season is a fun, but stressful time of year with its own set of demands. So, March just flew by, and now we’re mid April! 

The past week and a half we’ve been hauling 200 mink cages home to disassemble and use the wire for Fencing! It should be enough to fence about two acre as of pasture land. 

Oh, and somewhere in there, a friend suggested we suggest Chicken TV at Briden Farm as a series for Eastlink’s Community TV. To which we did have a reply! Now, it’s not for a Series, not yet anyway, but Michael MacDonald, producer with Eastlink Community TV did contact us and come out to do a feature on us for East Link Magazine! (Air Date TBA). 

Now, most recently we’ve made some changes, buying selling, and swapping out some of our livestock, details of which are to involved to list now, but we will cover it all in future Blog Posts! We do have some exciting new additions and we’ll tell You about them in upcoming Blog Posts!
