23.01.2022 Part 2 Chickens in the orchard.(Part 1 post 21/4/20)
23.01.2022 We're making babies! ... the feathered kind of course . Mr and Mrs Squwark have spent a romantic week in the honeymoon suite to help produce the next generation of Windsong egg layers. We've also introduced another 12 Australorpe eggs from different roosters/hens for good genetic diversity. So in a couple of weeks the farm will be clucken busy and bursting with new life.
23.01.2022 How bee nerds spend their Sunday evening ...
23.01.2022 While our very talented taylor, Jill, is busy sewing covers, we are busy cleaning the alpaca fibre filling. Soon the two will go together to make our waste into wonderful, eco warrior, all natural, Woof Pack dog beds.
21.01.2022 They call me 'Hamish' ... 'Lord Hamish'!
19.01.2022 Wow! I often feel lonely having only limited like minded thinkers that live physically near me but I also know that I'm not alone. I've done 3 out of 4 weeks of this online course and each week it just keeps getting better. If you're a deep thinker about the environment and human and non human connection, I can't recommend this course enough.
19.01.2022 200+ trees planted, slight modifications to the irrigation still required but for the most part ... Operation Windbreak Phase 1 is done. Next project ... Orchard/Chook Run Phase 2. Message us if you'd like to donate $7k?
19.01.2022 Meet the 29 newly hatched fluffy butts ...
18.01.2022 Update #1 ... Rows 1 and 2 (119 trees) planted before we were rained out. 91 to plant next weekend.
18.01.2022 Christmas in Summer
17.01.2022 BEE SWARMS! Spring is the season where bees wake from their winter hibernation and start to increase their numbers. As they do, they outgrow their current space, raise a new queen and then split into two groups ... one group stays and the other flys off to find a new home. The swarm is in transition; they generally won't stay long but this still needs to be managed by someone with knowledge about bees. Remember, they are looking for a new home, so even if they move from your... property, they may just end up in another building/structure near by. This then becomes a hive removal (otherwise known as a 'cut out') which is generally far more time consuming and difficult to remove, stressful for the bees (you're breaking their house) and costly for the house owner. In addition, they may end up near a person who is allergic to bees. WHAT TO DO ... 1. Take a few photos 2. Note the time you first noticed them 3. Post the picture, time and location on local bee keeping pages asap for someone to collect (Remember they are in transition). Usually swarm captures are free of charge whereas hive removals may not be.
17.01.2022 WOOFPACK 'GENTLE GIANT' PET BED ... Oh my heart melted when we met Buddy at the photoshoot. This huge Bernese Mountain dog walks into the studio holding his panda teddy bear and you just couldn't help but instantly love this gentle giant. 5 year old Buddy is a rescue dog; the look of pure love and joy in his owners eyes, undoubtedly said that Buddy had found his fur-ever home. The 'Gentle Giant' pet bed is suited to extra large dog breeds. The bed is sized at 110cm x 130cm. T...he removable outer cover is made from natural, light weight, scratch resistant cotton drill. It vacuums easily and is machine washable. The inner fill is 100% Alpaca fibre making it soft and comfortable, warm in winter, cool in summer and low allergy. Replacement outer cover and fill are available should you ever need it and is biodegradable/compostable preventing it from ending up in landfill. Price starts from $350.75 + postage or delivery. Made in Gippsland, all beds are made to order, please allow two weeks to process. To order please email [email protected]
16.01.2022 ... And we have our first jail break ... Aracuna chick ... only 30 to go
16.01.2022 Waste into Wonderful #3 ... A few years back I came across Bings Garden Art at a market in Briag and thought what an awesome idea. This guy takes junk that we'd throw into landfill and makes art from it. We now have 8 pieces of Bing's art bringing even more life to the farm including the recovery of broken park bench which is now beautifully restored to even better than the original.
16.01.2022 Good signs our bees have thrived during our relatively mild winter this year. They are making the most of this beautiful sunny day and collecting loads of nectar and pollen from the lavender and wattles blooming atm. How many bees with loaded pollen baskets can you see?
16.01.2022 Bathed, brushed and big goofy smiles for the camera ... Power pups Poppy, Harley, Jaz, Chloe, Buddy, Rosie Blue and Sabi Star, strutted their stuff down the dog-walk showing off Windsong Farm's eco warrior dog beds. Thanks to photographers Ian and Velta who dared to work with animals and fur mum's Abby, Cristal, Kerryn, Nicky and Jill for taking part. Pet beds will be available for purchase very soooooon!
16.01.2022 It's finally tree planting day (phase1). 210 trees, 19 species, 4 rows, 2 humans and 1 dog.
15.01.2022 Fresh (claw) scratch marks on the babies chicken coup .... trouble is close at hand

14.01.2022 Some photos of Windsong Farm taken by Ian Fellows Photography this morning ... What an unexpected treat when Ian grabbed his camera from his car and started snapping away.
14.01.2022 When mum needs a break, our little farmer comes to play #chickenselfie #shedoesntsleep #ittakesavillagetoraiseachild #guidedaughter
12.01.2022 Clocked up over 400km today in a last minute pre level 3 restrictions scurry. From home to Traralgon for minor ute upgrades, then to Seaview to pick up 160 trees and finally to Toora North to load up on 100kg of Alpaca fibre to fill our eco warrior dog beds with before heading home. Drove through every weather condition including snow, bogged the car and (kind of/actually I did/Andrew doesn't know yet ) bought 2 more Alpacas to add to my bleeding hearts club. A huge shout out to Louisa from 'Carigaholt' for the Alpaca fibre and for her mean ute recovery skills and Rob from Grandridge Tree Nursery.
11.01.2022 Buying online can be a little tricky sometimes so we've left the Woof Pack 'Power Pup' (Small) pet bed at The Pickle Pot in Maffra for a short time for you to paw, scratch, sniff and even roll on if you like . Check it out and then order by messaging us on Facebook or email [email protected]
10.01.2022 Waste into Wonderful #4 ... Bees wax ... what!?! hang on a minute!!! Bees wax is by no means waste. It has so many applications including cosmetics, furniture polish, food saving wraps, candles in fact you name it and we can probably do something wonderful with it. Our first attempt at making something from the wax from our hives was pure vanilla lip balm, which went off like a frog in a sock. Followed by patchouli and sandalwood scented hand moisturiser and boy is it gooo...ooood for soothing hands that have been sanitised several times per day. You can get yours from ...

10.01.2022 Waste into Wonderful #2 ... Chickens are wonderful creatures. In one end you put food you don't want to eat and then out the other end pops a delicious egg. Thanks to the generous and environmentaly conscious folk at Small Planet Cafe in Briagolong for donating their leftovers for the Windsong chooks to enjoy. Small Planet Cafe is open Saturday and Sunday's from 9am to 4pm.

08.01.2022 Happy 5th Birthday to this tank of an animal. #hurricanehamish #unstoppableforceofdestruction
08.01.2022 "Call to consciousness ... Gratitude is essential to life. The original instructions direct that we who walk upon the earth are to express great respect, affection and grattitide to all the spirits which create and support life. We give thanks to the supporters of our own lives; the corn , beans and squash, the winds, the rain, the sun.... When people cease to respect and express grattitide to these many things, then all of life will be destroyed and human life on this planet will end. Grattitide is essential to survival. The notion that we can be independent or self made denies the reality of our own reliance on other people and on our natural world. Humans are interconnected parts of a larger web of life where each being is uniquely valuable. Crops, trees, rivers and the sun are respected and thanked as fellow beings and a larger community of mutual aid. If you have this view of life, you don't tear down the forests or pollute the rivers. Instead you accept other life forms as part of your extended family. Our life exists with the tree life, our wellbeing depends on the wellbeing of the vegetable life, that we are close relatives of the four legged beings. Grattitide motivates us to act for our world". Active Hope by Joanne Macy and Chris Johnstone.
07.01.2022 There's about a one in one thousand chance that an egg will be double-yolked. As is the case with many uncommon occurrences in nature, people have attached many superstitions to double-yolked eggs. The most common is that you or someone you know will soon become pregnant (maybe with twins) if you happen upon a double-yolker. In the Wiccan tradition, they're known as a sign of general good fortune. If you're interested in ancient Norse beliefs, it means that someone in your family is about to meet their maker.
06.01.2022 Hamish's softer side ... I cuddled this boof head for about 20 mins this morning. #notsotough #imhisgirl #ownedbyagoat
05.01.2022 Has anyone successfully attracted owls to their hobby farm? I have an powerful owl and a bobook owl box and would appreciate any tips. I.e. Do owls need personal space (one box per tree) or do they prefer sharing trees? and do the boxes need to face any particular direction?

03.01.2022 Waste into Wonderful #1 .. Life cycles are pretty amazing. Take waste from roses and fruit trees and wa-la, the Great-8 and Hurricane Hamish get leafy and fruity treats, branches to file their teeth, the land increases it's biodiversity, less goes into land fill and the hoomans save money on tip fees. Thanks Sally Jones and Velta Fellows for being part of the solution.

02.01.2022 We're Grandparents! Mr & Mrs Squark have produced 5 fluffy butts plus another 9 fluffies from another breeder for genetic diversity. These Black Australorpe chicks will certainly keep us busy over the next 8 weeks until they become fully feathered and can manage their own body temp regulation. Until then we'll be handling these little nuggets so they become used to people and doing regular health checks to give them a great start to life. Welcome to the world little ones
