Don't have much time to blog these days with a full-time job and a part-time farm job to boot (& a kid and a semblance of a life, too). However, I didn't want you all to think I was ignoring you. Here are some haunting, beautiful images of our farm, taken by photographer and friend Linda Ozaki. Expect a more lengthy photo documentary post in the coming weeks of our first on-farm pig butchering class.

Jeff- we don't trim the beaks, the hatchery did it without us asking for that. We were stuck with 3,000 hens with trimmed beaks. Our next batch had their full beaks. It is, however, important to understand the trade offs with hens having beaks. With beaks means more feather pecking which can lead to infections. However full beaks means the hens can forage better and preen the mites off themselves better. So it is often best to try to understand the pros and cons of a farming practice before judging it.

Gorgeous pictures, but do you have to trim the hens' beaks?

Those are wonderful. Sometimes photo posts mix it up just right - thanks for the views of your farm!
