Pine Row Farm of Rothbury
Hello :-),
In the farm news. The mulberries are ripe, milkweed is blooming, and the fireflies are plentiful. The whippoorwill song in the late evening and happy chatter of the barn swallows by day provide encouragement as we do chores. The cow calf group has crossed the road again to graze the south side of the farm. The turkeys are old enough to be free range and are learning to go into the poultry coop at night. We are in week two of training up a new livestock guardian pup. She is 3 months old. The kids have named her Artemis. I call her Art.
We will accept orders until 5pm on Friday. I will plan to get totals emailed out by 9:00pm. If you don’t get a response from me, please contact me. We accept cash or check payable to Pine Row Farm.
