There’s been a bit of a fuss lately over the newest member of the family. Pip the chocolate lab is making friends and winning the hearts of everyone she meets. She has a bit to learn and hasn’t got her puppy manners sorted just yet, but the girls and I are keeping her on farm-track and eventually she’ll be good as a bar of Whitakers melted into hot farm fresh milk.
After school, milking shed open to view
Pip isn’t the only change we’ve seen either – the girls and I are now being milked around 3:30 pm each day which means it’s the perfect time for the kids to visit after school and watch us being milked (the farmer doesn’t mind the fact that this later milking time means that he can have a sleep in as well)!
But now, we’ve past the shortest day and we’re looking forward to spring again and the promise of all that lush green spring growth to come.
So, pop on down to the farm at 515 Welcome Bay Road to watch us being milked, pick up some organically grown vegetables and get yourself a cup of fresh cool milk as an afternoon treat!
