Cozy Cat Bed

We’ve got all sorts of actually cozy cat beds for our farm cats – but Ash was absolutely enamored with this pile of pine bark and cottonwood leaves. A great place to take a nap on a warm, sunny day!

Maple Syrup – Second Boil

We had another week of overnight freezes that extended the maple season – got about 40 gallons of maple sap and 10 gallons of walnut sap. We boiled it all in a single day, and finished it this morning. We added another 3/4 of a gallon of maple syrup and a little over a pint of walnut syrup. Half of the buckets have been collected. We’ve got more buckets, taps, and ratchet straps to collect … but maple season is over for 2025.
