Cloverleaf Farm

Archive for June 27th, 2009

It’s exciting here at Cloverleaf Farm. For two days now, Henrietta has been hatching eggs. I have been trying to get a peek under her, but she wouldn’t hear of it.
Today, she took the older chicks out of the nest for the first time, and I got a great shot of the last chick making it’s way into this world.
Watching the miracle of life…is so beautiful, and awe inspiring.

This is Little Peep’s first look at the world outside his nesting box.

We here at Cloverleaf Farm would rather lose a crop than use chemical fertlizers, or chemical insecticides. While “garden experts”, such as Paul Parent Garden Club, are suggesting the use of RoundUp, we prefer to grow the way our ancestors did…organically. Pure and delicious!
Before WWII, the chemicals of today were non existent. The only reason we have chemical insecticides, and fertilizers, is because after WWII, the government had all these chemicals  left over from the war, and didn’t know what to do with them. It was someone’s bright idea to use them in our food gardens. Imagine putting a chemical on a pumpkin patch, and then eating the pumpkins. No, thanks.
We here at Cloverleaf Farm, would rather lose a crop, than use that crap.
