Northern Heritage Farm: The Farm
http://northernheritagefarm.blogspot.com/p/the-farm.html
An aerial view of our farm, circa mid-1990s. NHF is nestled on roughly 140 acres in northwestern Wisconsin. My husband grew up here, and now we are lucky to be stewards of this gorgeous piece of land. The farm has a bit of everything- pasture, forest, native prairie, and wetland. As someone who lived in a large city for 17 years, I still can't get over the beauty outside my door every day. Me in the western prairie, mid-autumn. Small pond in the middle of the western prairie, late summer. The southernmos...

Howling Moose Gardens: August 2011
http://howlingmoosegardens.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 18, 2011. More trough work, and planting! It's been a few days since I last posted, because after my last post (which is duplicated over on Backyard Aquaponics) there was quite the discussion. On the strength of the trough walls, and whether they would hold. I'm using a modified design of a proven system (The Friendly's, in Hawai'i), and I've mostly made it stronger, so I wasn't worried, until I posted over at BYAP. =). And now I'm moving forward. Overview of the Friendly troughs. I am v...

Northern Heritage Farm: The Dreaded M-Word
http://northernheritagefarm.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-dreaded-m-word.html
Monday, February 16, 2015. The worm travels along the spinal fluids and spinal cord, causing central nervous system damage. Some books will even go so far as to tell you there is no cure and infection always results in death. Thankfully, this isn't true. We have a wonderful vet out here (the upper Midwest's camelid expert! So, how did Amber get m-worm if I routinely deworm the herd? Labels: a day in the life. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Northern Heritage Farm: A Time to Burn, Again!
http://northernheritagefarm.blogspot.com/2015/04/a-time-to-burn-again.html
Tuesday, April 14, 2015. A Time to Burn, Again! This weekend the Apple River Fire department came out to do a controlled burn on our larger prairie. As I mentioned last year. When we burned our smaller prairie, controlled burns are a key part of prairie restoration. The fire burns out non-native plants, freeing up room and nutrients for prairie plants. The prairie plants have deep roots (bluestem roots can be as deep as 12 feet! So they can survive fires. Fire also. Another thing that was a bit different...

Northern Heritage Farm: And Then There Were Ten
http://northernheritagefarm.blogspot.com/2015/06/and-then-there-were-ten.html
Friday, June 19, 2015. And Then There Were Ten. I added two new ewes to the flock this past weekend, bringing the total up to a nice even 10! Meet Lilith and Kilda:. Lilith is on the left, Kilda is on the right. They both come from Kathie Miller's Southern Oregon Soay Sheep Farms. Lilith has been a firestarter from the moment I showed up at Narnia Farms to collect her (a transport brought a bunch of Kathie's sheep to Narnia for central holding/quarantine until all the WI farmers could pick them up)!
