Chicken Coop Chicken Doors


My husband designed these chicken doors with a pulley system so I could open and close them without having to go into the chicken area.

Chicken Coop Chicken Door Pulley System

It is a fabulous system, as the chicken coop has an entrance area that is our supply and storage place, a foyer (or fwa.je if you will).  They are designed on a pulley system, and are very convenient.

Our Orchard is Growing Up!

I took a stroll around the orchard today, and was I ever pleasantly surprised at the abundance of fruit on our little trees and bushes!  Most of our trees are only about six feet tall or so, but they are like "the little engine that could"!  Now if we can just keep the bugs and birds away, we should be having a nice harvest this year.

Anyone need a lovely new goat milking stand?  These are pictures of one my extremely talented husband made for Flumgummerie Farm.  I hear they are using it and enjoying it very much.  Contact us today if you would like to purchase one.
