174-Karaoke in the Crib Was a Blast!

This week’s episode reviews our most recent weekend at the Farm which featured Karaoke on Saturday afternoon. It was a wonderful time with Kwiksilver Karaoke.

Several people visited the Farm for the first time and many others were return visitors. We appreciate each and every one.

In the episode, we mentioned meeting Rooney’s previous foster mother and a story about Rooney’s adoption day. Here’s the link to the story on Medium:

Thanks again to everyone who visited the Farm. We look forward to seeing you all again.

Until next time,

Donna, Julia and the Felines

171-How the Farm Fared in a Freeze

Hello from Five Feline Farm!

This past week, our area experienced an unusual late snow and freeze warning for two nights in a row. We covered everything possible and prayed for the rest.

Everything was fine! It appears the snow had an insulating effect. Coupled with the temperature not dropping quite as low as expected and our covering efforts, we did not have any loss of plants.

Don’t forget Kwiksilver Karaoke in the Crib on May 15, 2021 from noon to 4:00PM. Bring a lawn chair and enjoy some fun music.

You can always find out what is happening by following our social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter or Instagram) or signing up for our email list.

Until next time,

Donna, Julia and the Felines

P.S. We are continuing to add to our Gardening the Five Feline Farm Way course. We use video, presentations, checklists and more to provide instruction on how we garden here. You can get in now for only $39 for lifetime access.

170-Landscaping at the Mercantile

Welcome to our milestone episode #170.

This week we share our progress in landscaping around the new sidewalk from the driveway to the Mercantile building. We have been busy!

You will also hear a new feature: a garden tip and a kitchen tip near the end of the episode. This week we talk about using Irish Spring soap as a deer deterrent around new trees and how to use spring garlic in cooking.

The Mercantile is now regularly open on Fridays and Saturdays from noon to 4:00 PM each day. If you would like to order English Muffins to pick up on April 23 or 24, 2021 you can click here (while supplies last).

We also have a limited supply of heirloom tomato and basil plants as well as perennial pampas grass, lamb’s ear and mint. Fresh vegetables will be available in season.

Until next time,

Donna, Julia and the Felines

 

167-Noodles, Gardening and More

Spring is a busy time at Five Feline Farm.

The Mercantile is open on Friday and Saturday from noon to 4:00 PM. We discuss on this episode how that simple change in hours helped our stress level. Sometimes it is just the little things that make a difference.

In addition to the change in hours, we talked about how we each need to do something productive in between customers. Many days there is a constant steady stream of customers at the Mercantile, but some days we have time in between. We are working on ways to fill that time. Typically Donna goes to the garden and Julia writes.

Next week we will have a special guest interview that we have been looking forward to for awhile. We are sure you will enjoy hearing from our friend about her new enterprise.

Watch our social media, website and email for updated information about the Farm.

As a reminder, we will be closed on Easter weekend.

Until next time,

Donna, Julia and the Felines

P.S. Only 3 days left to get the garden course at only $19.
