Well the pantry is full and the canning is over and the canal is off, so we are officially done farming for this season..  It has been a true blessing this year with all the abundance of food and that we were able to store so much of it.  The next big chore is to get the three cords of wood chopped and stacked.   Here are some pictures of our fall work we did.
 Plums we picked from a very kind neighbor and used to make juice and jelly.

 Here are the green beans and tomatoes ready for the pantry.

Our new babies are here!!!  We love our new calves.  They are such a great addition to the family,
We had our first farmer's market, it was lots of fun and a great success. We look forward to every Saturday in Mountain Home.
The gardens are growing fast and we will be able to eat a lot of cherries in about a month!!!  We have been eating rhubarb and asparagus as well as spinach salad!!!

We are busy planting and building our garden boxes.  We also have a worm box now.  I am so excited because the peas, carrots, radishes, kale and spinach are all up.  We will be putting out the tomatoes in the walls of water in the next day or two.  Cabbages are in as well.  Farmers market starts the first Saturday in May.  We are in Mountain Home for this.  We have rabbits for sale, eggs, produce when it is ready, and other homesteading items.  Come and see us.

We have our piglets here, chicks that are almost chickens now and of course baby rabbits (kits).
