My Plan in Action.

Picture
    Last month I told you about a plan I came up with to make a door for the chickens to go in and out of that would keep the sheep (Z, in particular) from getting into the run and eating the poultry food.  This is the end result.  Wahoo!  There were a few modifications Hon insisted on, but in the end, it's just what I had hoped for.  
    I think Hon is happy too because he asked me to pick up some things for him at the hardware store yesterday and while I was gone he cut the wood.  In his mind it's safer that way.  Did I know he was going to cut it?  No.  I knew something was up when he called me at the store and asked for a few extra items I knew I needed for the project.  Oh well, I suppose it ended up being one of those togetherness projects...and it didn't take hours and hours like the time we temporarily lost our minds and bought an exercise set and put it together...together.  Thank goodness!
    The top picture shows the completed project.  Notice there are no chickens in the picture.  That's because with all the cutting, banging, and fooling around out there they had run for their lives.  Now the second picture is much better.  It shows Buddy actually using their new door to walk into the run after NoName gave the all clear.  
    So there you have it folks...happy chickens...happy Sharon...and a pouting Z because she can't even get her head in.  Smiling & Waving, Sharon

Welcome!

The Silver Maple Farm is a small family farm in south central Ohio. We have a cutoff time of 10:00 p.m. on Sunday nights for ordering available baked goods and a pickup time on Thursdays of the same week between 5:00 and 8:00 p.m., unless other arrangements are made. If there is a change in the schedule due to holidays or events, we will post the changes here on our website, and also on the social media websites Facebook and Instagram. We’ll also post when we have vegetables, fruits, teas, and herbs for sale from our farm.
