Our 1950 Ford 8N tractor is finally purring like a kitten! A bunch of parts, trial and error, and swear words and she’s almost ready to do work. But, nothing ever is easy with this machine and so on to the next project. My goal is to keep the tractor working, doing what she was designed to do - be a reliable (70 year old) tool. #oldiron #projects #tooltime #tractor https://ryanfamilyfarm.com/2020/05/05/keep-the-tractor-working/

Another beautiful weekend, rain and all... “The supreme good is like water,
which nourishes all things without trying to.
It is content with the low places that people disdain.
Thus it is like the Tao. In dwelling, live close to the ground.
In thinking, keep to the simple.
In conflict, be fair and generous.
In governing, don’t try to control.
In work, do what you enjoy.
In family life, be completely present. When you are content to be simply yourself
and don’t compare or compete,
everybody will respect you.”
-Lao

The COVID-19 epidemic has exposed a number of flaws in society. Beyond the appalling Federal response and our poorly coordinated medical infrastructure, COVID has exposed weakness in our industrial food system. #agriculture #articles #COVID19 #foodsystems #localfood https://ryanfamilyfarm.com/2020/04/24/covid-exposes-weakness-in-our-food-system/

It's Garden Season...finally! We had enough dry weather to do some garden work and inoculate some mushroom logs. First up as always is weeding. After we got the rid of the weeds, we rebuilt the bed for the herbs, and covered with a nice layer of wood chips. This area was a pile of rocks and weeds a little over a year ago and is finally taking shape. #GardenUpdates #MushroomCultivation #Spring https://ryanfamilyfarm.com/2020/04/08/garden-and-mushroom-season-is-on/

I wrote earlier about panic buying of chickens. Turns out people are panic buying seeds, too! As we've been getting ready to start the garden for the year, I have been looking for a few seeds to round out the garden. In our case, we are adding a few more grains. We already have purchased seeds or have them in stock from last year. #Coronavirus #news https://ryanfamilyfarm.com/2020/03/29/people-are-panic-buying-seeds/

Panic Sales are STRONG.... We have been getting a lot of calls from people looking to buy chickens. My guess is that panic-buying is driving most of these calls. Our laying hens have been producing and we have a steady supply of eggs, but are selling out regularly (we appreciate that)! We hope you are all well and we are happy to help provide food for your family. #updates https://ryanfamilyfarm.com/2020/03/22/panic-chicken-sales-are-strong/

Wow - Been awhile...
Yikes! We haven't been staying up to date with our blog posts but that doesn't mean we haven't been busy... Bear with me as I try to touch on what we've been up to and some plans for the upcoming growing season.
Catching up
Birds, Birds, Birds!
We are finally seeing more production from the hens after the long dark days of Winter. #chickens #ducks #fruit #goats #organicgardening #planning #sheep #update https://ryanfamilyfarm.com/2020/02/07/wow-been-awhile/
