It's SHROOMY season again y'all!!! πŸ„ Did you know that eating mushrooms regularly equates to a myriad of health boosts? Notably mushrooms are loaded with b vitamins, selenium, and are associated with a lowered cancer risk in pets and people.

Chantarelles, lions manes, turkey tails, and old man of the woods are our top picks because of no local poisonous look alikes if you've got a little mycology knowledge under your belt. We are trying to expand though. What are your favorites in the south?

We found Rosie as a stray covered in parasites and living in a ditch out in rural Alabama. It's clear she had been abandoned and thrown out like trash. We are so grateful for the Humane Society of Forsyth County, GA and their team for taking her on and getting her ready for a better life. Black dogs at their shelter are currently 50% off - there is no better time to go adopt a new best friend with them πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€

Hunting for bugs πŸͺ² in the woods and doing natural pest control πŸ•·οΈ πŸͺ±πŸ›

Our Pearl White Leghorns are phenomenal free rangers. Which means it is extra sad so many are kept in tiny egg crates their whole lives. These are active birds who thrive on activity and spend their nights perched high up in trees. Buying eggs locally from a neighbor or getting a few hens for your own yard eggs helps alleviate suffering πŸ₯šπŸ³

Free range chickens do have more issues with predators. If this is something you are ethically concerned with, there are amazing options for tractors and calmer chickens that work well in more confined areas. But this breed truly does best being wild πŸ¦–

Live in an older house with lead paint? Or perhaps you're one of the many households that fishes regularly and you're worried about mercury. Maybe you live with, or are a smoker. And, some animals and people simply have poor ability to process heavy metals due to their genetics or various medical conditions.

Cilantro is an herb that has shown some promise for the ability to chelate (bind to) heavy metals and allow them to be moved out of the body. It is an easy add to your pets bowl, or to your own (who doesn't love a good pico? Answer: Me. I have the soap gene 🧬). It also offers a good dose of vitamin K, polyphenols, and flavonoids ✨

My nerds who want to learn more, here is a good link to an article on the subject:

THROW TRASH AWAYYYYYY

Seriously, I think we have gotten better about this as a society. But children and animals for years to come will be hurting themselves on your garbage if you don't properly dispose of it. Wild animals and domestic WILL get hurt.

This little lady generously did not bite me today, which, I appreciate as she stayed in the chainsaw I was actively using until it ran out of gas. As far as I can tell, she's an Alabama Wandering Spider which are harmless to humans and helpful for getting rid of pests. On the farm, we have plenty so she was set free to go eat more roaches and ants to her hearts delight. Yum.

Not using harsh insecticides or many pesticides at all does mean we live right up with nature. That does take some getting used to, but I think it's worth it.

Any arthropod enthusiasts here to confirm or dispell the ID on this gal or gent?

(For those wondering, no fingers or toes were chopped off and no beautiful trees were cut down. Just a bunch of invasive bamboo that needs to be kept in check so it doesn't take over and evict us)

From time to time we get people wondering why we do not sell pet rabbits. There are a few reasons, but Scarlett today absolutely annihilating a Sweet Gum branch I gave her made me want to post on this subject.

1) Our rabbits are NOT pet temperament - they are meat rabbits. No, we don't breed or keep aggression in our lines, but Scarlett and her offspring are //active//. She can debark a stick in sixty seconds flat...What do you think she would do to your dining room table?

2) There are thousands of rabbits in RESCUE already because.....see above! Bunnies are not hamsters and they are not fish: They //cannot// stay in enclosures their whole lives and be content. They need steady enrichment and even with this are tremendously destructive. They have to be, actually. Chewing is how they keep their teeth filed down and healthy as they're continuously growing. Most people end up not wanting these animals anymore and we have no desire to flood the market where rescues end up needing to pick up for others mistakes.

3) We don't breed any pet breeds. We adore our rabbits. Especially momma Scarlett. She is my snuggly bo**er but she tends to nibble, she is a grade A escape artist, and she is BIG. Scarlett is larger than our rescue cat, by a bit. Just because her babies look small, they get big and fast. That is the literal purpose of meat rabbits. Pet breeds are not meant for feeding the community. We have helped re-home pet breeds before when folks have gotten them and realized it's not working. I absolutely promise that their temperaments are wildly more appropriate for the typical household than my spicy girl

If you're considering getting a pet rabbit, we highly suggest rescue or even fostering to see if you even like having a rabbit as part of your household. They are a unique animal with their own special needs. Fostering saves lives, and there are so many amazing buns who are a better fit than a meat rabbit would be.

Beautiful plants that are usable, edible, and readily findable in southern states! This red beauty is a Staghorn Sumac. Not to be confused with Poison Sumac, the two grow in quite different locations. Staghorn tends to grow in bright, sunny locations with well drained soils. Poison Sumac tends to grow in bogs and wetlands. For new foragers, it is best to avoid anything with dangerous look alikes



The native PawPaw tree is a delight and the fruit should be ripe in another month or so. The fruit is edible and tastes tropical like mango, banana, and citrus. These are easy to grow and like most native plants will offer fruit without too much effort. Native plants support our habitats and often have less issues with blights



The native Beauty Berry has a delightful color that is a fun add to teas with a light floral flavor. It is not most folks favorite directly off the vine - I always pop them in my mouth then don't go back for another bite. They have great vitamin c content and are an easy and healthy add to any farm, or easy to forage locally at this time of year as they are bright and notable against the landscape

Did you know plenty of roosters are actually docile and gentle? Some are gentle with hens, but not people. Some are docile with humans but not hens. Some are gentle with everyone and also great protectors....And those are worth their weight in gold! This guy here is one of those gems.

This sweet man here isn't the prettiest RIR roo we have ever met, but he is definitely the sweetest so he is our main guy who we let sire chicks. This is because behavior is largely genetic in chickens. We are breeding for health and temperament, looks don't matter in our mission of best egg laying and easy keepers to help feed the community.

Aggressive roosters can be downright dangerous. Some people do not believe in culling, and see them as pets which is perfectly fine. However, breeding animals with poor temperaments is NOT ethical. A roosters spurs are meant to defend and can easily pierce skin or even take out an eye for an unlucky person or animal. We process extra and poor temperament cockerels for dog food to keep pets in homes, or in the winter as great chicken soup for humans in the community 🍲
