Farm Happenings at Wild Coyote Farm
Two sides to the story
Spring feels like it’s tying up for us, with summer nipping at its heels. We have been blessed with mild weather and most crops are coming along swimmingly.

First Box & Composting
Part of the reason we raise sheep is so that we can have a great fertility source for our fields. This week I finally cleaned out their winter paddock and got it all in pile for composting.
