Getting Willow’s Kidding Kit Ready

Willow’s due date is fast approaching, so it was time to pull out the kidding kit and make sure everything was ready.

Every goat owner develops their own system over time. Ours has changed a little with each kidding season as we’ve learned what we’ve used, what we haven’t, and what we like to have close at hand.

In this video, I walk through the kit we keep ready for kidding, explain why we have each item, and share a few thoughts about preparing before the excitement begins.

What Spring Work Actually Looks Like on a Small Farm – A Walk-Through

With unusually dry weather, gardens to prepare, weeds to tackle, and a long list of projects waiting for attention, we’re taking things one task at a time. Some crops are already growing well, others have only recently been planted, and there is still plenty left to do.

In this video, we take a quiet walk through the gardens here at Point 6 Acre. From broad beans and peas to fruit trees, flowers, grapes, and a few experimental plantings, it’s a snapshot of the season as it currently stands.

Not every year looks the same. Gardens evolve, plans change, and sometimes progress happens more slowly than expected. That’s part of the adventure.

A garden doesn’t care about perfect timing — it asks for attention, persistence, and adaptability.

Systems evolve slowly — one adjustment at a time.
