December

It's been a relatively quiet month at the Farm for the most part. At least it was until the goats went missing.

• Received NUMEROUS applications for the 2019 Farm Apprentice Program. We filled our program and had a wait list! We accepted all the applicants we could, but there were just too many to accept them all. Thank you to all who applied.
• We have a visitor staying at the Farm. Brody is a Nigerian Dwarf buck and will be hanging out with our Lamancha lady goats until mid-January. If all goes well, we will be blessed with "Nigeriancha" babies in the spring.
• We wrapped up our 2018 Farm Apprentice Program with a potluck dinner to celebrate all that has been accomplished in 2018.

November

Thank you to all who enjoyed a 5 Fridges Farm turkey this year. They were delicious!

• Shorter days mean fewer eggs. We do not use artificial lights to keep the chickens laying over the winter - we want a break and so do the hens. Egg sales will resume in the spring.
• Milk production is slowing as we move into breeding season. Breeding means there will be milk in the coming year.
• The boy goats have been munching away in the green space next to the Kipling/Clear Creek Open Space trail head. They have about a month to go before being paraded back to the Farm in January.

October

November is the time to give thanks, and we have plenty to be thankful for at the Farm!

• Successful season of Farmers Markets
• Sold out of turkeys
• Packed up for winter (after starting October with a hard freeze in the 20's)
• Sold the last cucumbers, tomatoes, and squash after keeping them warm inside until the Farmers Market
• 2019 Farm Apprenticeship Program is now accepting applications
