When a Pullet, a young hen, begins to lay she often misses days and her eggs are usually small and grow larger over time. Our new Brahma mix hen has now laid 8 Eggs in Her first 9 Days of laying! Some Hen!
Her eggs are getting bigger, and are nearly as big as a Large White Store Bought Egg! You can see by the picture that the eggs are getting bigger too! My guess is she’ll be laying Jumbos before long!
Can You imagine waking up to the sound of a Rooster crowing, the snap and crackle of a wood fire and the smell of free range eggs and maple smoked bacon in the frying pan cooked on the kitchen wood stove!? That’s all part of the experience at Briden Farm! Or it will be! We hope that someday, perhaps when the current pandemic has passed, that we’ll be able to host AirBnB Guests here! (We can dream can’t we?)
Meanwhile, we invite our friends to come visit and we’ll do our best to provide you something tasty…
Here at Briden Farm …
“Where The Tea is Always On …
… and the Coffee is Not Far Behind!”.
Nothing’s quite like eating off the farm!
Tonight we had Fried Cockerel and Pasta!
Whether it’s from the Garden, or from the Barn, there’s something special and intrinsic about knowing you’ve raised food for you, your family, and your table!
It also brings a deeper understanding and appreciation for the work you’ve done and the sacrifice that has been made in providing you life sustaining substance! That is even more so when You’ve hand raised them!
life on the farm is not always easy, not always happy, but the good times out weigh the bad, and there truly is a reverent sense of purpose and fulfillment for You, and for the source of the food. Perhaps even for life itself and it’s Creator!
