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.
Here at Briden Farm we have a great flock of chickens. Sadly too many Roosters, young cockerels! So we’re looking to get rid of a few! These are from good laying and meat stock, and great looking and dual purpose birds. So, we’d like to find people who need them. If that’s You, please let us know! 902-907-0770
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!
