April 2009



All Fool's Day brought the birth of little Zora, a Nubian goat kidling born at Cedar Moon Farms. She is the first of what I hope will be two doelings coming to me after weaning. And I've reserved a Great Pyrenees puppy who will serve as a livestock guardian to the goats. The first eggs have begun to trickle in. Strawberries, asparagus, sweet potatoes, French fingerlings and Yukon Gold potatoes are in the ground, and I planted a brown turkey fig in the orchard near the apples and pears.
