Shalom!! Hashem's blessing to you all!! Spring has sprung here at Blessed Farm. We've been REALLY busy, starting seeds, getting the garden set, building new beds, and chicken houses.
I have come to a season in my life where I had to make some tough, but obvious choices. My health hasn't been real well these past 3 years, and finances needed a break if I was going to be able to afford my treatments and get better. Being active is EXTREMELY important to me, so I knew I was going to have to do something to make it work. I think instead of making this the homepage saga, I'll go update my Blog for the first time in a LONG time, to tell you about it.
You will see that there are quite a few changes in the site over the next week or so. It'll take me at least that long to get it all updated, and current, so bare with me. I'll mark the changes here on the home page with a ** next to the page links, so you don't have to go running around trying to figure it out on your own.
For those of you who are visiting us for the first time, we have a small homestead in Western Washington, on the beautiful Hood Canal. We raise a lot of our own food, culinary and medicinal herbs, and handcraft goat milk soaps and knit items from Kim's homespun yarns.
We focus on heritage, heirloom breeds and varieties of livestock and plants. We are raising Speckled Sussex, Buff Orpington chickens, and a couple Easter Eggers, Muscovy and Pekin ducks, all for our meat and egg needs, as well as a few Broad Breasted/Lilac turkey crosses. American Chinchilla and a pair of Standard Rex rabbits keep our freezer filled with meat for our dog, Loki, and the cats, and furs for warm, soft things to wear. Organic methods are used in raising most of our animals and gardens. Absolutely no use of hormones, antibiotics, or chemical pesticides are used in our food producing animals and gardens.
We often have surplus to offer for sale from our chickens, ducks, American Chinchilla and Rex rabbits (live sales only), and gardens. We hope to soon be able to offer purebred, rare breed hatching eggs, too.

My farewell to my friend, Ash
