Rusty Plow Farmstead

We will be at Depot Days in Amboy this Saturday from 9-2 over by Inspired (205 N. Jefferson Ave). Come see us!! We will have plenty of fresh veggies and lots of sweet corn!

So been awhile since I've posted on this page but figured I could start again now that we are selling veggies at Dixon Farmers Market! We are out here most Saturdays from 7-noon. Come see us sometime!

Collected our first egg this morning from our new hens! 🥚I love the interesting sizes and shapes we get when hens first start laying, this one was a tiny little thing. 🐔🥚

Update on our "failed" barn cat Rowan. He is obviously living his best life inside. 😂 He has been absolutely spoiled rotten by being a bottle baby and from being adorable. 😁 I didnt want an indoor cat but he's kinda grown on us 🐱❤️

Absolutely love this picture my bestie got of me with the kiddos and kid 🐐😂 I love how excited they get around the babies too! Seeing how much they enjoy being around our animals too makes me feel so grateful that we are able to give them this farm life 🥰

I realized today that I haven't posted on here about our sweet babies that arrived last week! Belloise gave us 2 healthy and spunky bucklings. We were surprised that she only had 2 since she usually has triplets but after seeing the size of the first baby as he was being born, I'm not surprised anymore. He's a big boy! 🤣

My awesome hubby built an outside pen over the weekend for our pullets to start enjoying the weather! No matter what animals I come home with he's always on board! (Sometimes with a little grumbling 🤣)

Wyatt, the chickens, and I are enjoying how amazing these beautiful apple blossoms are smelling! 🌸 🌳 Every year this tree gives us so many delicious apples that we make into apple cider or just enjoy as is 🍎 ❤️

How are these pictures only a little more than a month apart??? 🐔 They grow so fast! These are our 14 new pullets that will eventually join our 8 other laying hens in providing us with farm fresh eggs! 🥚 ❤️
