Briden Farm Babydoll Sheep

Babydoll Sheep

When I was a kid, my Daddy, Vic, had about 30 sheep. Before I come along he had 300 Head, about 125 Cattle, and all the side trimmings! Unfortunately we had to leave our Farm when I was still a child and have always wanted to get back to having sheep. About two weeks ago that dream come true! 

We were gifted three beautiful little sheep! I kind of feel like little BoPeep! Meet, Baby, Dolly, and Joe! Joe Joe the name of my Dad’s Ram. Baby is a Purebred with her ear tag, and Dolly and Joe are part Shetland Sheep. 


It is Truly Graceful Watching Them Graze.

We’ve Waited Three Years For This!

Our First Complete Meal

Seems strange, I know, but we really have waited (actually worked) three years for this! Oh, we’ve had a variety of vegetables and meats over the past three years. Vegetables and meats we’ve grown and raised. Many good meals! 

However, this is the first time we’ve provided ourselves with a complete meal with Meat, Potatoes, Vegetables, and Salad. It’s as much of a timing thing and a growing thing! 

Yet, when it all comes together, especially for the first time, it’ll darn near bring tears to one’s eyes! Knowing it is really possible to grow our own food and put complete meals on the table! 

Salad with lettuce, radish, onion greens, Swiss chard, and more. Followed by Irish Cobbler Potatoes, Provider Green Beans, Gold Rush Yellow Beans, Stanhope Peas, and Woodland Pastured Berkshire Pork. 

I did an earlier post today about “Our First Harvest”. It was actually just half of our first Harvest at the Barn Property, as we divided it giving half away and keeping some for ourselves. Making two remarkable meals!

Although it was small, it was gifted and well received, and it consisted of a few of a lot of things! Peas, Green and Yellow Beans, Lettuce, Swiss Chard, Radish, Beet, Purple Top Turnip, Baby Carrots, and New Potatoes, and even some wild edible weeds like purslane! True to her nature, and always thankful, She sent the photo above in way of thanks and appreciation. We appreciate You too Cheryl.

For 130 Years, The People of Bear River, Nova Scotia, have invited people to come celebrate the Bear River Cherry Carnival. This year we at #BridenFarm have been so busy trying to work around the ongoing rains that we unfortunately won’t have a Float! However, the Bear River Cherry Carnival will go ahead as planned on 22 July 2023. Remember you can have the opportunity to walk the Greased Pole and grab the $100 Prize! 

Here’s a list of Activities at the 130th Bear River Cherry Carnival…
