What do you do when you have beautiful lamb shanks from River Run Farm? You fire up the Instant Pot and make an AMAZING curry! 😍

Their lamb is exceptional. I’ve made some of my favorite lamb dishes with it, and tonight’s curry definitely didn’t disappoint.

One of the things I really appreciate about River Run Farm is the care they put into raising their animals. Their sheep are raised right there on their farm until it’s time for processing, and knowing where my meat comes from and how the animals were cared for matters tremendously to me.

They also raise hair sheep, which I absolutely love for the table. The meat has a wonderfully clean, mild flavor without that heavier “woolly” or lanolin-like flavor some people associate with lamb. It’s lean, tender, and absolutely delicious.

And these lamb shanks? After some time in the Instant Pot with coconut cream, apple, curry spices, and a little Brigyn Farm kitchen magic, they turned into fall-off-the-bone, pull-apart curry goodness.

Good ingredients really do make good food—and when I can support another local farm while making it, that makes it even better. ❤️

River Run Farm lamb + Brigyn Farm kitchen = one seriously good dinner.

Square as a small business, I would like to say thank you for shutting us down your AI algorithm has caused major issues and closed our entire Square account and made it so that we can no longer take payments or use our website or Square in anyway. I also want all my small business friends to be aware of this that square has gone to an AI algorithm that if they spot one tiny thing they don’t like on your account or if you’re too small, they’re going to dump you even if you have been with them for 10 years I really think that the Better Business Bureau needs to take a look at square and shut them down.

Our Rat Catcher was out and about today. Haven’t seen him much this year, but he’s looking good.

He headed off to our well house to hunt.

Good morning from the farm.

We spent yesterday down at Fort Bragg NC, going shopping and just hanging out on post.

Ft. Bragg is the closest large base to us, about 2 hours South in Fayetteville.

Interesting the changes in the Army Military Police uniform compared to when I last wore it. They have so much equipment now that it looks bulky to wear.

Today we are back to farm work. Just finished getting everyone fed, watered and hay for the goats. Cleaned the Brooder Buildings water and food where we have 3 Polish and 1 regular chickens getting ready to go to the transition aviary.

We are also preparing to move 1 Bourbon Turkey, 6 Guinea Fowl and a few Chickens from the Bantam Chicken aviary to the transition aviary as well.

So far we have not had any more Raccoon attacks. Seems he didn’t like tangling with a double electric fence and decided to look elsewhere for his food.

After finishing up everything this morning, I heard the distinct cheeping of babies coming from our Chicken Coop.

Turns out one of our Muscovy Duck girls took over an abandoned nest of eggs and today is hatching baby Chicks (No, not ducklings, but baby chickens).

Muscovy girls are great moms, and normally will take over nests that chickens or even guinea fowl abandoned or just never look after.

A few years ago when we were in Maine, one of our Muscovy girls would collect up guinea eggs that were later all over the aviary. She would scoop them under her wing and we saw her taking them back to our barn.

Inside, she had set up a large nest and when she finally decided to start sitting, she had 21 Guniea eggs in that nest.

She went on to hatch 17 of the 21. She did have a little help from a female Mallard Duck who would sit next to her, and then sit on the eggs when the Muscovy went out to get a drink or eat.

The Muscovy kept 11 and the Mallard took 6, and all did very well.

Today, our Muscovy mom has 4 confirmed chicks, possibly a 5th with more eggs to hatch under her.

Not to worry folks. There is currently no access to any pond or pool. Muscovy’s are not traditional ducks, and tend to prefer to stay on dry land.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Good Morning From The Farn.

Can you believe it’s August already? Back to School stuff is out, and now we have to start thinking ahead and prepping for Winter.

So far this week we have not had that Raccoon attack.

It seems our double electric fence setup along with the poly-electric wire around trees is working.

We opened the transition pens last night so everyone could come out and join the others in the main aviary area. They are still able to go back into the transition area, which we still secure at night.

2 out of 3 of the Muscovy Ducklings have gotten a bit too big to fit through the fence gaps now, and are staying in the main aviary area. The third we believe is a girl, and is almost too big but has found a spot to squeeze out so she can go to the Goat Buck area and forage.

We don’t know what happened to Mrs. BB’s little chick, who just disappeared a few days ago.

Mrs. Black’s 7 Chicks (That were originally Boo Boo’s but that raccoon got her just as the eggs were hatching, so we gave them to Mrs. Black) are doing great.

One accidentally got into the larger water tote and we were lucky to notice that. Little one was wet and a bit cold, but once we gave it back to Mrs. Black, she and the other chick gathered around and began warming it up.

Crackers, the reddish-brown Muscovy we recently adopted from Henry County Animal Shelter is doing great as well. Took about a week to get used to the other ducks in the aviary area but now is just one of the guys.

Today is Hay and Grain Delivery Day. Thankfully that our new supplier delivers to us. My back has been pretty bad with a lot of pain bouncing side to side, and making it difficult to even walk on some days.

I do need to make some room in the Grain Trailer and get the hay barn a little bit more organized.

Hope everyone has a great and safe weekend.
