Day 2, we have sprout-age! #GIY #foddersystem #sproutedbarley #FrogBerryAcres #southernNH #backyardfarm #homestead #farmstead #hobbyfarm

Day 5! #GIY #foddersystem #sproutedbarley #FrogBerryAcres #southernNH #backyardfarm #homestead #farmstead #hobbyfarm

We’re finding some things that work, some that don’t for the #sproutedbarley. The weather is not ideal for growing right now, but we’re up for some trial and error as we figure it out! #GIY #foddersystem #FrogBerryAcres #southernNH #backyardfarm #homestead #farmstead #hobbyfarm

If you had ever told us how much time we’d spend watching and taking care of creepy crawlers...🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏼‍♀️. #mealworm #darklingbeetles #mealworms #tenebriomolitor #mealwormfarm #chickensnacks #chickentreats #FrogBerryAcres #southernNH #backyardfarm #homestead #farmstead

The family that harvests #mealworms together, stays together? And yes, that’s a light table that Rich built for the kids that they’ve since grown out of- it now has a new purpose! #tenebriomolitor #mealwormfarm #chickensnacks #chickentreats #FrogBerryAcres #AmherstNH #southernNH

Counting #mealworms looks so much more illegal than it actually is 😂 #tenebriomolitor #mealwormfarm #chickensnacks #chickentreats #backyardfarm #homestead #farmstead #hobbyfarm #FrogBerryAcres #AmherstNH #southernNH

A tree branch through the roof of the chicken run was quite a way to start the day 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏼‍♀️🐓. #chickencoop #chickenmansion #DIY #BIY #FrogBerryWoodcraft #backyardfarm #homestead #farmstead #hobbyfarm #FrogBerryAcres #AmherstNH #southernNH

Now that we are on a roll with the #foddersystem we were able to figure out that 2.5 ounces of barley yields 17 POUNDS of #sproutedbarley! #GIY #fodder #backyardfarm #homestead #farmstead #hobbyfarm #FrogBerryAcres #AmherstNH #southernNH

We traded extra #sproutedbarley fodder for fresh eggs from a friend in town! 4 weeks to go until our #bufforpingtons should start laying! 🤞🏼🐓🤞🏾#heritagebreedchickens #backyardchickens #backyardfarm #homestead #farmstead #hobbyfarm #FrogBerryAcres #AmherstNH

We’re taking advantage of the PlanetBox #backtoschool sale (25% off!!) to get lunch packs for the adults of the family 😊. We’ve been using them for #ourlittlesprouts for about 4 years, we’re totally glad we made the investment when they started at daycare! #planetbox

Another #homegrown egg breakfast from our generous friend! This time made with a smiley face mold that another friend gifted to #ourlittlesprouts! 16 days until our own #bufforpingtons are due to start laying #farmfreshbuttnuggets #FrogBerryAcres #AmherstNH #southernNH

First egg! #bufforpington #heritagebreedchickens #dualpurposechickens #backyardchickens #chickensofinstagram #backyardfarm #homestead #farmstead #hobbyfarm #FrogBerryAcres #AmherstNH #southernNH

We processed our first #meatchickens today. Raising animals for meat was not a decision we took lightly. We are grateful for, honored by, and sobered by this experience. #processingchickens #homegrownchicken #homegrownmeat #bufforpington #heritagebreedchickens #backyardchickens

We want to keep a border along the yard and are thinking to plant some #lowbushblueberries and #halfhighblueberries. Any tips on prepping the soil? Favorite varieties? Favorite places to buy the plants? #viewfromthedeck #GIY #zone5b #backyardfarm #homestead #farmstead #hobbyfarm

Found this #woolybearcaterpillar after we cut down a small tree, we must have scared the little guy! If the folklore is true, his small amount of black fur compared to brown predicts a mild winter. 🤞🏾We’ll see! ❄️ #Isabellatigermoth #FarmersAlmanac #AmherstNH #FrogBerryAcres

If we find many more of these, we’ll have to change our name to Toad Berry! #americantoad #blazeorange #orangevest #backyardfarm #homestead #farmstead #hobbyfarm #southernNH #AmherstNH #FrogBerryAcres

We found these beautiful feathers in our #backyardwoods. They became a little less beautiful when #thefeatheratlas told us that they belong to a #northernflicker, possibly the same woodpecker that is making its home in our wood siding. 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏼‍♀️🏡 #usfishandwildlifeservice

Shades of egg! #homegrowneggs #bufforpington #heritagebreedchickens #dualpurposechickens #backyardchickens #backyardfarm #homestead #farmstead #hobbyfarm #southernNH #AmherstNH #FrogBerryAcres

@DaddyFiles Hey Sam, Do what makes you the happiest and keep being yourself. We love the color choice!
