The Gardens/ Yard

My mother is mainly in charge of the gardens. Sadly, I have a black thumb when it comes to plants. Thankfully, my mother is the gardening queen! We are up to our knees right now in fresh lettuce, cucumbers, zucchini, asparagus, and rhubarb. I can't wait until the other plants come into season!

The lovely pergola my father built. Everything is a bit of a mess right now but when it's cleaned out it is a great place to host people!


The three tiered hill garden. Have a hill that is a pain to mow? Turn it into a beautiful garden instead! We added the third level this year, hence the newer looking wood. It is full of zucchini, squash, tomatoes, basil, and various perennials in the top part of the garden.


Here is our little fire pit. Great for s'mores!


The giant swing set, complete with swings, trapeze, hanging triangles, slide, and seesaw. A huge hit with all of the kids through many generations. Again, excuse all of the mess being mid chicken coop run building has created!



Temporary hand washing station. We used this for dressing the chicken, now it is being used as a hand washing station. When we have so many people coming to visit and touch the animals we want to make sure they have clean hands so that they don't spread disease.

The rhubarb plant.

Shed on the hill. Potential future goat housing?

The shade garden. Lettuce, spinach, pansies, and garlic.

The big garden. I don't even know what is planted in here there are so many things!


Asparagus garden and side yard.

Current compost situation- hoping to expand with the amount of waste we are producing.



My little garden sprouted! Next to the chicken coop I planted a little bee garden. Maybe my thumb isn't black after all- only time will tell. (UPDATE: It has grown like crazy!! Definitely more gardening in my future. It makes the chicken coop look so much nicer and is attracting so many lovely bees to our yard).







The view from my front yard... I love Vermont!

DIY Natural Vibrantly Blue Eggs

Image
At Blue Hollow Homestead, we love all things blue. Naturally when we learned of an easy to make all natural blue dye last year, we were all over it! We figured out a method that resulted in vibrantly blue eggs every time.  How to Make Vibrant Blue Eggs 1. Boil 1 qt of water, a whole shredded red cabbage, 2tbs of vinegar, and one 1tbs of salt.  2. Once it reaches a boil, cover and let it simmer for 30 minutes.  3. Strain and keep the liquid for dying.  4. Place hard boiled or blown eggs in the dye. We found that if you use colored eggs you will get a large variety of shades of blue. 3. *IMPORTANT* Let it sit in the dye overnight. If you just dunk it in, you will get a pale color. If it stays overnight it will turn an absolutely beautiful, vibrant blue that lasts a long time. Blue, Brown, Green, Tan, and Speckled Eggs from our Chickens White Duck Eggs

Processing Chicken: Real Life Farm to Table

Image
**WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT. BLOOD AND ANIMAL BUTCHERING.** If you follow our farm, you know that we have been raising 50+ meat birds with the end goal of providing humanely raised, all natural meat. Last year we made a post documenting the process of processing turkey and this year we decided to show how our chickens go from pasture to plate and teach you a little bit about how we do things. First we will briefly explain how we raise them and then I will show and explain how we process them (complete with detailed pictures and a video!) and end with a cost analysis.  This is a great read if: you want to process a bird, you are new to meat birds, you are experienced with meat birds, you want to be aware of where your food comes from, you eat meat, or if you just want to see how chickens go from farm to table in something that ISN'T a factory farm setting. Note: this is just how we do things. There are many methods, and after much trial and error we find this is

Processing Turkey: Real Life Farm to Table

Image
**WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT. BLOOD AND ANIMAL BUTCHERING.** If you have been following our farm long you know that we had been keeping 5 turkey with the end goal of processing them into meat to feed our family. These turkey had been a fun addition to our homestead- they all had funny personalities and we enjoyed having them around. We had two toms and three hens. They had a pretty fantastic life with a lot of attention (and treats). Alas, the time came where they got a little TOO big and Thanksgiving was just around the corner. Today we met with a relative, Jesse, who had two Turkey to slaughter. We transported the turkey to his house.  When we first got there we started boiling a huge tub of water. The first "tub" was much too small and the first (small) turkey didn't fit in it at all. We had to switch out for a larger tub which took very long to heat up. We had to wait for the temperature to be over 140 degrees Fahrenheit!  First, we did
