The end of 2024 sure passed by quickly! We kept ourselves busy preparing for winter, selling meat and soaps at holiday markets, and enjoying quality time at Thanksgiving and Christmas with family and friends. Winter hibernation season is now in full effect. January brought time to slow down and get grounded in our daily routines: feeding cows, chopping/stacking firewood, and baking bread among others.
Big thanks to our friend Tom who helped Bart stack and bring home more firewood! He seems to love working with the horses as much as Bart does.
The early snows of the month lingered long enough for several cross-country ski excursions across the prairie with the dogs. What a treat after last year’s dry winter!
These Devon Yeast Cakes from Small Farmers Journal have been a big hit in our house. Enriched with milk and stuffed with sultanas, they are very easy to make and are hearty enough to keep Bart going all afternoon.
