Who’s in Charge Around Here Anyway?

October 26, 2020October 20, 2020 / Trace Creek Acres / Leave a comment

Trace Creek acres is starting its own podcast in the spring of 2021!! We've been working on the format, the segments, etc and so on and so forth. Whew! A lot goes into a simple 20-minute chit-chat on a microphone! But, it's coming together. We're thinking about the following logo. What do you think? Is … Continue reading Who’s in Charge Around Here Anyway?

How could one little barn make me so happy?

September 23, 2020 / Lori Crane / Leave a comment

We bought our property in July of 2019. It was quite a disaster, but we knew what we were looking for and knew what we could do with it. After all, we had been searching for nine years for our perfect slice of heaven. Land. check. Livable house. check. Pond. check. Barn. check, kind of... … Continue reading How could one little barn make me so happy?

Greenhouse Adventures!

September 4, 2020 / Lori Crane / 2 Comments

THE GREENHOUSE IS HERE! I've wanted this Palram Mythos 6x8 green greenhouse since I can remember. Every time I go on Wayfair, it's not on sale or sold out. Seriously, it's been a few years since I fell in love with it. This is the advertised photo. So pretty! This year, I was anxious to … Continue reading Greenhouse Adventures!

Crazy Busy 2020

August 24, 2020August 25, 2020 / Lori Crane / 2 Comments

I admit it. I've been very negligent of the blog since 2020 began. If you know us, you know we bought our farm July 2019, and you know we had a million plans and ideas. I swear, I had great intentions of keeping everyone informed on how we were doing, what we were raising, showing … Continue reading Crazy Busy 2020

What Will They Say About Us?

May 21, 2020June 1, 2020 / Lori Crane / Leave a comment

Of course, one of the main reasons one moves to a farm is due to some good memory or good experience with such a lifestyle. One of my fondest memories as a child was visiting my great grandmother's home. It wasn't grand, as most small farms aren't, but as a child, I thought the place … Continue reading What Will They Say About Us?

Earl 1 – Hawk 0

May 19, 2020June 1, 2020 / Lori Crane / Leave a comment

I was sitting in the farm office yesterday and heard the loudest, insistent squawking coming from the backyard. It sounded like when one of the hens lays an egg and cackles to let everyone know, but it kept going and going and going. I realized it must be coming from my new rooster, Earl, so … Continue reading Earl 1 – Hawk 0

Homesteading: How to Know When You’ve Made it

May 16, 2020October 14, 2020 / Lori Crane / Leave a comment

First, what is a homesteader? The term means different things to different people. Most folks agree with the basic premise that it means living off the land, but the amount of "land" and the amount of "living" varies. Some think it means going completely off grid, while others think it means having just a garden … Continue reading Homesteading: How to Know When You’ve Made it

The Animal Whisperer: The Bunnies are Here!

April 6, 2020October 6, 2020 / Lori Crane / Leave a comment

I've been planning to get rabbits to fertilize my garden, but as busy as we are, there has been no time to plan, and even less time to build a rabbit hutch. I've learned after many years of marriage, planning doesn't work very well around here anyway. I've learned just do it now and we'll … Continue reading The Animal Whisperer: The Bunnies are Here!

Losses on the Farm: Hawks and Lepto

December 21, 2019June 1, 2020 / Lori Crane / Leave a comment

We’ve suffered a major loss on the farm due to hawks and lepto. I’m sure you know hawks like to grab little ones such as chickens and bunnies, but perhaps you don’t know what lepto is. Short for leptospirosis, it is a nasty and often fatal bacteria that comes from the urine of cattle and … Continue reading Losses on the Farm: Hawks and Lepto

Labor on Labor Day – or – Fencing Sucks

September 6, 2019August 25, 2020 / Lori Crane / Leave a comment

The most important thing you can do on your homestead to protect your livestock is install some good fencing! And, this not only goes for goats and horses, it's for all of the animals in your charge. Sadly, our new farm has zero fencing, and I can speak for everyone involved when i say, "Fencing … Continue reading Labor on Labor Day – or – Fencing Sucks
