The Beginning of a New Farming Season




The weather has been fluctuating something crazy these past few weeks! The mornings range from the lower 20's to the mid 50's. Ah well, that's Virginia for you:) I can't complain though. The frosty mornings paint such glorious pictures and make you appreciate your warm dwelling all the more!  On the other hand, the cool mornings give you a delicious taste of Spring and the hope and newness of life it brings with it!






The first broiler chicks of the season arrived this morning and are now cozily installed in their new brooder barn thanks to the many young men who put in their time over at the Wilsons homestead. Thanks guys!



Here are a few who ventured out from under the warming hover. 


This one is preening himself:)

Here is a peek under the hover.


Lots of planning and marketing prep has been happening at Full Quiver these past few months! It is the slower busyness of winter after all:) We have been blessed with some new business opportunities, namely being able to team up with a prominent organic vegetable farmer and share drop-sites which has brought us both new customers. This in addition to lots of other yearly planning and a few new marketing ideas, etc. lend excitement to this season of gearing up for the 2012 growing year. Even through the midst of the yearly planning we've still had time for taking it slower, (chores go a lot faster!) have family read alouds, (complete with all of the British and Scotch accents!:) and most importantly, revisit priorities and the reasons we do what we do. I look forward to seeing what the Lord does with our farm and in our family in this next growing season. He is so very good and faithful!
