25.01.2022 "Turn, turn, my wheel! All things must change To something new, to something strange; Nothing that is can pause or stay" from "The Song of the Potter" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow... From pastured chickens, to organic fertiliser, to clover, to pasture, to golden hay, to sheep... The wheels are turning on and on, the future becomes today. #hay #cycleofnature #turningwheels #eggs #pastured #farming #farmlife #natural #organic #chemicalfree #chickens

21.01.2022 Puppies update: 1. Learned to 'bark' (sound is not to be missed! ) 2. Socializing well with chickens 3. Drinking from a bowl. They definitely improved employment skills in the first four weeks of life #puppies #Maremmasheepdog #learning #jobready #cute #freerange #firstthings #growingup

19.01.2022 Seeing an air bubble inside an egg: Nature's design perfection. Simply perfect, down to the first gulp of air for a new life. #designthinking #NatureisGenius #eggs #perfection #air #airtolive #Nature #perfectdesign #life #justperfect #perfectjustthewayyouare

18.01.2022 Tree grows on top of rocks, splitting through them. Rain comes, and grass grows inside cracks. Chickens come to eat grass and enjoy the shade of the tree. STONE->TREE->GRASS->CHICKEN->GREAT EGGS chain of Nature.... #cycleoflife #chickens #freerange #treesplitsrock #naturalfarm #stone #splitrocks #strongtree #treebeatsrock #eggs

17.01.2022 Just beyond the sunset Lies a home for me Where the world is peaceful Like a paradise should be Just beyond the sunset... Someday is where you’ll find me. . . Just Beyond The Sunset poem by D. Harris #poetry #farm life #farmpoetry #sunset #freerange #morethaneggs

15.01.2022 3. Drinking from a bowl.

15.01.2022 Social distancing for eggs Our MEGA eggs are so huge, we have to place them one nest apart, so they don't crack each other on the sides. Off to some of our favorite customers from the online egg shop.... Last week our biggest MEGA egg measured 127g!

14.01.2022 Oh, the places you'll see chickens sleeping! Our favorite evening time discoveries as we go for a walk around the paddocks: There are the same three chickens who always walk all the way up the hill, and perch on the gates, right in the corner. They stand close, gossip loudly for a while (a lot is happening in the chicken world every day), and then go to sleep on the gates. Then, there is the same one chicken, who ever since we baled the hay, comes and flies all the way to the... top of one particular silage, and sleeps there. Same silage every day. There are a few bales together in a row, but she always chooses the same one bale.It is very unusual for a chicken to want to be by herself at night, most of the chickens stay and huddle together. This is what true free range is supposed to mean. Come morning, all these four ladies go and join the flock. Why do they do it, and not stay like everyone else with the herd? My theory: they just like the sunset from that height (the last photo). #freedom #chickens #freerange #pastured #theview #sunset #eggs #natural #sleep #readytosleep #wonders #discoveries #thewaynatureintended

14.01.2022 That feeling when the day is done and we can all lie around, squinting at the sunset, smelling fresh spring grass. #done #spring #grass #freedom #freerange #Maremma #workdone #eggs

13.01.2022 One egg = 152g! These chickens really know how to lay an egg. if we put a dozen of such eggs together, it would make a-1.8kg package to take home #eggs #giants #enormous #tripleyolk #happychickens #freerange #miracles #triple... Photography by Flor

12.01.2022 "The tractor goes round and round...I am soooo sleepy" zzzzz -- Forrest the Maremma sheepdog, while watching our tractor do all the hay cutting, hay raking, hay baling. Yawning is contagious, don't you think?... #yawn #yawningiscontagious #hay #farmwork #Maremma #Maremmasheepdog #sleepy #fridaymood #fridayafternoon #grass #chemicalfree #lazy #lazyfriday #fridayvibes

12.01.2022 Riding on the back of a land cruiser cowboy style and racing with Jack the Maremmadog: the chickens can never catch up with us! #racing #cowboy #free #ridingontheroof

12.01.2022 The Dancing Egg a.k.a. 'The Cavalry Charge' (you need the audio!), having some fun at work today. #workisfun #workandplay #playatwork #funatwork #jumpingjoy #joy #egg #eggmachine #machinefails --music from The Overture to Rossini's opera William Tell

09.01.2022 Just jump in the car and drive! Jack the Maremma dog thought he did enough walking today #maremmasheepdog #driving #dogdriving

09.01.2022 Could not believe where we found an egg today: on top of the fallen tree which is the chicken Disneyland playground, and beautifully nestled within the better bark fissures. #freerange #eggs #hardtofind #hiddeneggs #pasturedeggs #findtheegg #trees #playground #chickenplayground #eggfinding

08.01.2022 "Sowin' things an' growin' things, an' watchin' of 'em grow; That's the game," my father said, an' father ought to know." With sowing done for the winter, we praise the rains and watch our oats grow. Not letting the chickens near that paddock now, but they have done the fertilizing bit well. #growing #sowing #farming #thankyourain #thankyouchickens #wintercrops #cropping #oats #green #sustainablefarming #rotationalfarming ... From the book "Backblock Ballads and Later Verses", Wheat by C. J. Dennis

08.01.2022 If working boots could talk... Salt lines, permanent mud stains, tears in the leather and water coming in. But also... 4 years of hard work, achievement and pure joy. And if, as we believe, our life will ultimately be measured by what we have done for our fellow men, then by this standard we fear no judgment.... Time for the new pair. #workingboots #prideinwork #hardwork #farming #farminglife #freerange #startingfromscratch #newboots #iftheycouldtalk #farmlife

08.01.2022 The sky is the limit: A big THANK YOU to all our team. It takes a village to grow pastured, truly freerange eggs. We have the chickens totally mobile and free, and all infrastructure without walls and floors, so it takes a lot of hands to find, collect, and process the eggs, and take care of all the chickens. #thankyou #teamwork #eggs #farmwork #bonvoyage #partyatwork #freerange

07.01.2022 The red bin got stuck, and try as it might, red tractor couldn't pull it and got stuck. Try as it might, the yellow tractor tried to pull them and got stuck. Try as it might, the green tractor tried to pull them and got stuck. Try as it might, the hilux couldn't pull anything but got us humans out of the paddock. Fun was had by chickens and humans alike. Nobody is complaining because rains and tall grass are a blessing.... #farmfun #bogged #fun #stuck #mud #chickens #tractors #bringiton #anyothertruck #farmlove

07.01.2022 "Ode to Some Yellow Flowers" -- poem by Pablo Neruda "Against the blue moving its own blue, the sea, and against the sky, some yellow flowers.... October arrives. And though it may be so important for the sea to unroll its myth, its mission, its yeast-like inspiration, there explodes over the sand the gold of a single yellow plant and your eyes are fixed on the ground, they flee from the great sea and its rhythms. We are and will be dust. Not air, not fire, nor water but earth, only earth we will be and maybe also some yellow flowers." -- translated by Jodey Bateman #poetry #eggs #pabloneruda #pastured #yellowflowers #october #freerange #earth #chickens

07.01.2022 "Last night I dreamed of chickens, there were chickens everywhere, they were standing on my stomach, they were nesting in my hair, they were pecking at my pillow,... they were hopping on my head, they were ruffling up their feathers as they raced about my bed. They were on the chairs and tables, they were on the chandeliers, they were roosting in the corners, they were clucking in my ears, there were chickens, chickens, chickens for as far as I could see... when I woke today, I noticed there were eggs on top of me." -- the poem "Last Night I Dreamed of Chickens" by Jack Prelutsky, From the book "Something BIG Has Been Here" #livingthedream #poetry #chickens #eggs #freerange #chickenseverywhere #welovepoetry #dreams #dreamscometrue #jackprelutsky #whatdreamsaremadeof

02.01.2022 Walking through the grass, in the tree hollow, one finds a treasure: not gold or silver, but a warm egg on a cold winter rainy day. Even the fire truck is half-sunk in the dam. We are completely fire-proof. #rainydays #farmdays #treasure #eggs #hiddenegg #warmegg #winter
