Surprise in the Pasture...

6/8/2023

0 Comments

 
Got a little surprise today! We weren't sure if Gurdy took to breeding or not this year, but sure enough... these two little ewe lambs are proof enough that she did! She's quite the protective mama and moving them into the barn was a chore in itself, but they are bonding and have already had a morning of adventure for two teenie little lambs!
Make sure to sign up for our Blue Mountain Farm tour day where you'll have lunch with and meet our two newest additions!

2023 Blue Mountain Farm Day is here! June 24th 10:00 am - 3:00 pm we will be opening our doors for "ewe" to come see what we are all about! This is a "by ticket" event ...must pre-register...where a farm fresh lunch is served overlooking our sheep grazing in the pasture and our newly planted lavender rows! It is provided to all who attend ($40 / person for the whole day including your lunch). Additionally, we will be offering taste testing of our tasty farm products, hosting a Fiber Mill Tour where you can see how we take raw fibers and process it into fiber products like yarn and roving, provide an informational class on our new fertilizer pellets, see all the buzz with our honeybees and lavender plants, visit our farm store, and see/pet the animals that call Blue Mountain Farms home! The day is sure to be a busy, fun filled day with lots of opportunities to learn and grow your love of agriculture within our community! We look forward to seeing you on the 24th and having the chance to showcase central Pennsylvania agriculture! Sign up on our Classes and Events page in our Farm Store!

It showcases the beauty of the barn where our certified kitchen is and the rolling field out front where our sheep graze, growing luscious fleeces for your crafting enjoyment!

We may be in the middle of a drought and we are spending a lot of time watering everythinggg right now, but there have also been some beautiful signs of nature on the farm! Enjoy pictures captured by our family this past week! As long as that bear and her cubs stay away from our beehives, we can appreciate them passing by!

How adorable are these Valais Blacknose sheep!? Ally is a dear friend who puts so much love and care into raising her beautiful sheep! The Valais are a new project on her and her husband's farm. The cool thing is... she let us play around with one of their fleeces. We spun up Dandelions fleece and pictured is the yarn we made! She also just had two adorable ram lambs! If you'd like to check out any of our yarns, visit our farm store at www.bluemountainfarms.net. If you would like to follow all of the Valais adventures with Ally, make sure to follow her Facebook page HSE Valais Blacknose Sheep She always has something adorable to see!

Lambs hitting the ground...

For about a week, our ewe (Lydia) has been veryyyy uncomfortably pregnant! We did what we could to keep her comfortable with regular barn and night checks. Yesterday, Christin asked about Haylee... our lamb born last week... so we told her to go check on her. When she did, we heard her scream "Omg there's 3 lambs!" She thought we were pranking her, but turned out she was the first to find our newest set of lambs! Twins... right after they had been born! And they are massive! No wonder Lydia was so grumpy this last week having to carry both of these kids around! She had a black ram lamb and the white ewe lamb. Both mama and twins are doing very well! Now to pick names!
