Catchy Title eh? It was Christmas 2023, and the chickens were enjoying the near 50 F weather and their Dinner; Their Christmas Dinner!
Christmas 2023 we had a wonderfully Green Christmas and temperatures of 8°C or nearly 50°F Which meant our animals were outside and enjoying their pastures. This is a Short Video of our Berkshire Sow Pig Lara and her three Berkshire Mangalitsa daughters, Ginger, Mosley, and Mary Anne. Learn more about…
Our first Snowfall in December 2023 and our boy Roscoe sits and watches them fall with an intensity that compares with Him watching an animal on the hillside. Watch Him respond to my questions, He nods his head to it being a snowflake that He's watching!
This is actually a Video I created when asked to create a video of up to one minute to answer the question, " What inspires you about farming/farmers/WWOOFing?"
We recently bought a used Ride on Mower, less the Mower Deck, to use as a small Farm Tractor. Taking Water and Feed Buckets back and forth feeding and watering the animals. It also helps carry fences and other tools needed around the farm. We do most everything by hand,…
It’s so rewarding to see it all come together! Naturally Grown Sweet Corn and Free Range Pasture Raised Chicken, and other garden goodies, not only for tonight’s Supper, but also some corn blanched for freezing and I’m so looking forward to having Corn on The Cob for Thanksgiving and Christmas…
We raise Berkshire Pigs and this year Berkshire Mangalitsa Mix. We raise them on a mix of pasture, mostly woodland pastures where they get moved regularly every week or two to new pastures. This video shows the pasture we just moved them out of, followed by the lush new pasture…
Lara, our Berkshire Sow, had eight piglets in April. Five females and three males and we still have three girls pastured with Their Mom at the Barn Property. The Boys, Dotster, Moe, and Porky moved to Briden Farm about two weeks ago. Today they moved on to their new Woodland…

No matter how you spell it, the Mangalitsa, Mangalica, or Mangalitza, is a Hungarian breed of domestic pig. One which is highly prized for it’s meat is considered among the tastiest pork in the world.
Recently we were gifted three beautiful little sheep! I kind of feel like little BoPeep! Meet, Baby, Dolly, and Joe! Truly Graceful Watching Them Graze.

Before we got them, a few years ago, I always thought they were ugly! Their endearing qualities have changed my opinion! They are quiet, they seldom quack! They do not require a pond! As long as they can get their heads under the water in their dish, so they can…
When it’s hot, or Roscoe gets dirty, He loves taking a swim at the River. He also loves fetching the sticks that we throw, and it’s an extra special treat for him, because we don’t throw sticks for him any other time. We don’t want a Dog that pesters everyone,…
When we have a Muscovy Duck become broody and start setting on eggs to hatch them, we like to move them to a house, and when possible, run of their own. Giving them the security of a nesting house that can be shut at night to help prevent predator attacks.…
The last time I said one of these was a Love Bite from our sow Lara, this one’s Mother, my friends reaction was somewhere between panic, concern, and caution! So, another friend who also raises pigs, suggested I call it a Piggy Snout Snuggle! It’s when a pig, quite gently,…
Lara, our Berkshire Sow, farrowed naturally (without the use of cages or crates) giving birth to 8 Baby Piglets. She has been an excellent mother, never hurting any of them in any way. While two have gone elsewhere, six of the eight are still with their Mother three months later.…
We used old Wire Lobster Pots to make rotational pastures for our Muscovy Drakes. Usually male Muscovy ducks have a short life on a Farm. We’ve found a way to give them a longer, more purposeful life… read more at BridenFarm.com
Over the past week or so we’ve had continuous rainy weather. My guesstimate is about 8 to 10 inches o rain with more still to come! At least another inch or so over the next twenty four hours. The gardens have been floode, standing water, running water, almost stagnant in…
If I had to guess, we’ve probably had about 6-8” of rain in the past week or so and half of it fell yesterday, on Canada Day 2023. It led to flooding and washed out road ways, Thankfully our Laneway is t too bad, there’s a trench of about a…
We enjoy spending time fishing, and Roscoe and Holly enjoy it too! Unfortunately we don’t get to go fishing often, and this was the first time since last year! Roscoe remembered and was very excited to get to play with another Sculpin! He has a very gentle mouth, so manages…
