She is coming along well. Whinnie, one of our young mares, was sold earlier this week to a young couple who have a CSA in Eastern Ontario and have just bought a farm. Whinnie will be teamed up with Jazz, who is a daughter of Jethro Tull, our first Suffolk stallion. He is also Whinnie&#8217;s grandsire. We hope they will make a good team and are thrilled to have another CSA horse farm in Ontario with Suffolks.<\/p>\n<p>Ken and I went down to the 2010 CSA garden plot this morning a remeasured the area to ensure that I have the proper row lengths for garden planning and ordering seeds.  The area has been prepared with compost and is seeded down to rye. The rye has come up well and will give good cover to prevent erosion over the winter months. Previous to this the field was in Christmas trees for many years. This is the first time in 20 years that we haven&#8217;t sold Christmas Trees. It seems a bit strange, but it is nice to have our December back to do some other things.  Have a Happy Holiday Season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We now have four new little pigs to help with the composting of the horse manure.
