Mini Tibs is a long time house cat turned full fledged barn cat. A few months back, she tried it out and apparently, the warm milk, comfortable hay, and farm ambience was more to her taste because she never returned. Fully satisfied with her domain, we’ve not seen her leave the barn since; no matter the time of day, she’s lounging on a bale or sunning herself in this spot. If she’s happy, we’re happy. And we’ve seen no sign of mice🤷🏻‍♀️.

Augusta (pronounce Ah goose ta) has found a spot for her nest and has been laying eggs over the past week or so. Unfortunately we haven’t yet acquired a Toulouse male so her work would be for naught. However, we found someone with fertile eggs and so we traded her. She is now nesting on ten eggs and we shall see how it goes. She’s a gentle goose but what a racket she puts up when anyone comes near. It’s right by the milking parlour 🤪.

If you’re local or planning to visit to Annapoli

If you’re local or planning to visit to Annapolis Royal, you’re going to want to make plans to visit our friends @the.whiskey.teller for a meal (or two or three). We enjoyed everything about our meal there last night for their soft opening. The old pub is beautifully restored and the meal, service, and atmosphere are incredible. It’s such a treat to enjoy delicious, real ingredients prepared so beautifully.
Congratulations @laura.plus.three, @chr1s.pyne and all the rest on all your hard work. We wish you all the best!

Farm introductions: Meet the sheep. We started out

Farm introductions: Meet the sheep. We started out our sheep experience with shetlands and boy were they wild!! They never really calmed down and when @__0lola__ wondered if we wanted a couple of her sheep, we happily took Unity and Viola, a mix of heritage breeds. They’ve produced numerous lambs for us, including the brown one at the back, Anna (half Soay)who is one of Viola’s babies from last year. So we have granny, mother, and daughter here.
Our sheep are weed control, lawn care, meat supply and they have gorgeous wool. Every year that we shear them, I intend to process the wool but so far I’ve ended up using it as weed suppression and fertilizer around my perennials (it’s fantastic for that.). We usually borrow a ram rather than keeping our own but aren’t sure if we will continue with lambing in the future. These girls are lovely though.
Once they are sheared in the spring, they love to forage in the forest and we often tether them around the gardens to eat down bind weed and young wild parsnip which are the bane of our gardening existence. The wild parsnip if eaten in large quantities is known to affect weight gain in meat animals so we put the ewes on it before the lambs or cattle that we intend to process. Slowly, we’re winning the battle with both bind weed and wild parsnip and it much in thanks to these ladies!

The difference in posture of Francis and Georgie with the chickens is an interesting study of their instincts. Franny sits up straight and watches. Georgie lays low and is ready to round them up. I don’t leave either alone with the flock but I’ve been training Georgie to gather the flock and move them around the barn yard. She LOVES it. I know little about training dogs beyond basic commands but I do know that working dogs without a job get into mischief but when trained to do a job are an amazing asset.

Out doing what we love together. We’re making plans and dreaming dreams. We wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Breakfast at Wyndelin}
Aneliese is our main breakfast maker these days and her copy of our recipe book is getting well broken in!
We’re doing another order of breakfast recipe books on Monday and because of several requests for the Christmas Baking one, we’re considering placing an order for a limited number of those as well if there’s enough purchases for a minimum order.
So if you’ve been wanting to order either recipe book, you can place your order this weekend. This gives us a better idea how many to order and we head into the very busy spring and summer months, we don’t intend to place any more orders for more copies.
Swipe to see the covers of both (deliciously gluten free) recipe books and go to our website wyndelin.ca to place your order!

We’ve really been getting into cheese making wit

We’ve really been getting into cheese making with Mabel’s beautiful milk.
After reading several books and websites (@theblacksheepschool natural cheese making, 200 easy homemade cheese recipes by Debra Amrein-Boyes, and @venisonfordinner insider club) this past year, I feel much more confident to take on a variety of cheeses. Plus you can swipe to see the beautiful press @dan.froese made for me (he has such a mind and eye for detail.).
Robyn from @cheese_from_scratch_ asked me to do an interview about my beginner cheesemaking, go to her account for the link and I hope it gives you a bit of inspiration to give cheesemaking a try if that’s something you’ve wanted to do!!

It was a kitchen day on this freezing rain in Nova

It was a kitchen day on this freezing rain in Nova Scotia day. I had one cabbage from our garden left and a few that our friends @whippletreefarm dropped off last week so I decided to make sauerkraut.
A plain batch with just cabbage and salt, our favourite carrot ginger, and then I decide to experiment with a fennel, mint and lemon kraut that I hope will go nicely with lamb.
What is your favourite sauerkraut?

Francis is settling into life at Wyndelin quite ni

Francis is settling into life at Wyndelin quite nicely. Right now, she’s with us 24/7. We take her to the barn and amongst the animals but never free to wander amongst them. We want to keep her safe and for them to learn that she is safe. She’s with us while we feed the cats and chickens. I carry her to the horses so they can sniff her. She sits with me while I milk and visits the goats and sheep with us. So far she is watching but never barks or makes sudden moves. I think perhaps if you’ve had LGD for a long time or if you have older ones to train the younger ones, it might be a bit of a simpler transition but it’s definitely not a case of dropping them in the barn yard and they know exactly what to do. Especially for those of us who are new to it, that idea can result in a lot of problems such as hurt animals, nervous or aggressive dogs, or an overgrown pet (which is lovely but not what we need). Penny provided some livestock help but her main job was our then small children and she performed that job beautifully. Now our main need is with our animals and so I’m doing a lot of reading and question asking so that we can work with Frannie well.
Hopefully as we eventually expand back into our forested area with our animals, Frannie’ll be ready to be their protector when they’re out of our sight and hearing.

We are pretty uninterested in the commercialized ideas of Valentine’s Day but I’m always down with spreading a little love. Including on a fresh loaf of gluten free sourdough. Mind you, Aneliese said the top looked more like a shamrock for St Patrick’s day and Dan said it reminded him of 4H. Mama tried. 😄
(This recipe is the original loaf from my online course offered through @sourdoughschoolhouse. You too can learn to score your bread with hearts. Or shamrocks. Or to celebrate 4H. All with love. 😄)

{Farm introductions}
Meet little Francis, our newest livestock guardian dog. She is a Maremma Sarplaninac (isn’t that a mouthful) and while she is currently spending time indoors bonding with us, her main work will be guarding our animals out in the barnyard. For now we take her out with us to be with the animals while we chore. We’re still learning her personality but so far she’s very sweet and chill but already super alert to her surroundings.
Who else here has Livestock guardian dogs?
