Bloom Weare You’re Planted Farm

Satisfying dinner! Our own rabbits and asparagus. This recipe is a creamy mustard sauce and I think I’ll can some legs in the sauce for the next round.

Our silver fox rabbits have provided an excellent, low maintenance source of nutrients for us.

In just a few weeks, we will have the next batch, and we are breeding again this weekend.

So grateful to grow our own food! We processed 4 rabbits. 3 made several packages of dinners for us, and one made dinner for our raw fed golden retrievers. Plus rabbit stock is simmering away in the crockpot.

If you look real close you’ll see one of our first egg hunts of the year:)

As soon as it feels the least bit like spring, the chickens start laying in every nook and cranny all over the farm.

We will be searching high and low for them nesting in various spots so we don’t lose the eggs to the nighttime freezing temps, or the bellies of the puppies.

First time breeding this lovely silver fox doe we purchased from Holistic Health and Home at the Farm right here in NH. Tough to see her nice silvering in this photo, but she’s stunning. More importantly, she’s a high quality rabbit.

I’ve only been raising meat rabbits for a few years and I still have a lot to learn. After getting to know Marie and her practices a bit, I decided to uplevel my meat rabbit game. So worth it.

We bred 5 does not knowing we’d have this massive heat wave. We have 2 proven does, 2 of our own young mixed does and this new doe from Marie.

Our proven does had small litters and we lost a couple from each mama.

One of our new does didn’t take.

The other new doe had 4, we lost 2 and then realized she wasn’t feeding them.

Juniper, our doe from Marie, has 6 healthy, fat babies. She is hot like the rest of us, but not stressed in this heat. She’s not only a great mama, but we gave her the 2 foster babies that she took and they are already looking healthier 24 hours later.

If you are raising rabbits or interested in getting started, it’s well worth getting rabbits from reputable breeders. I highly recommend Marie, we will be getting more breeding stock from her in the future.

Keep following along - I can’t wait to see how these babies grow!

This sweet mama has been sitting on eggs in a nest she made in our woodshed. 3 little chicks joined our farm in the best way possible. I love it that this is a place that our animals can do as nature intended:)

This lady is a black copper maran that we hatched last season. She hasn’t been named yet, but definitely deserves a special one. Who wants to help me name her?

Our first hatch of the year was really successful and those babies are now 14 weeks old, sexed, and we have a few available. We are a holistically based, soy free farm. The hens are a mixed flock and were covered (the rooster) with a buff Orpington. Located in Weare, NH.

Tonight’s dinner on the farm: pizza made with leftover sourdough from this week’s bakes.

Topped with red sauce, various shredded cheeses, and a bucket of toppings. Grass fed steak, my own canned caramelized onions, peppers, pickles, black olives and banana peppers. About a third with just pepperoni to use it up.

This only took a few minutes to throw together because most of the components were on my shelf. Also, defrosting hack for those of you that don’t have a microwave (like me) I put the steak in my instant pot with a little marinade for 5 minutes. Defrosted and par cooked - then finished in a cast iron skillet in just a couple minutes.

This also serves as my batch cooking for the week. It’ll fill in meals that I don’t have time to cook while I’m baking.

What kinds of things do you batch cook?

It’s so satisfying to put food on our table from our own backyard and other local farms. 💜💜💜

I truly believe my garlic cheddar sourdough bread goes with just about everything. 🥖🩵

Tonight’s pairing: chicken (rooster) cacciatore from my pantry. Made with our own chicken and tomatoes.

I wasn’t too hungry by the time we finished farm chores, so I’m having mine with a salad. Which is mostly feta cheese from Little Red Hen Farm & Market LLC. So. Delicious.

We welcomed these 2 sweet ladies to the farm today 😍 And for the third year in a row, mama delivered completely unassisted and with little fanfare.

They already have their own personalities, the black badgerface tried to climb back in her mama, while the little white one is very adventurous.

Congrats F***g and Odin on your second set of twins!

This completes Odins breeding responsibilities on the farm, but we will likely keep him around for his sweet temperament and lovely fiber.

Now, what are we going to name these girls?

In tonight’s addition of “We Eat From the Backyard”, Sloppy Hoppies.

A sloppy Joe made with rabbit meat. I stuffed it inside a grilled cheese made with my own garlic cheddar sourdough bread.

Cole slaw made with my own chive vinegar to zip it up a bit.

I love things like sloppy joes because you can add a bunch of veges and up the nutrient intake.

What’s on your table tonight? Even if you didn’t grow it yourself, someone, somewhere grew your food. 💜

These guys got new digs! We keep them in crates where they can easily snuggle for the first few days, and then into the brooder. We thought we’d try this as a next step brooder this year. It’s easily take up and down and plenty of room for this larger batch of babies.

We will have a few of these available in the coming weeks. DM to get on the waiting list!
