🐑🌿 What’s cooking at Pot of Gold Farm? Well… more than dinner! 😂

Farmer John made an absolutely delicious leg of lamb and lamb ribs, and WOW! We were in heaven! 🤤

But while we were enjoying dinner, we couldn’t help dreaming a little about the future of our farm.

If you’ve been following along, you’ve probably noticed there’s been a whole lot of land clearing going on around here. Trees are coming down, the landscape is changing, and we’re slowly making room for the next chapter of Pot of Gold Farm. 🌳🚜

We have some pretty exciting plans for this beautiful piece of land, and let’s just say… there might be a few woolly additions to the family in our future! 🐑❤️

Nothing happens overnight around here, but every tree cleared and every project completed brings us one step closer to the farm we’ve been dreaming of.

What do you think? Would a few sheep look right at home at Pot of Gold Farm? 🐝🐓🐇🐑

🐦🍁 Well, we had a few unexpected visitors at Pot of Gold Farm! 😂

And by a few, we mean a few THOUSAND!

We’re guessing close to 5,000 grackles passed through the farm, and WOW, what a sight! The sky was full of birds, and the noise was unbelievable! 🔊

With the strong winds we’ve been having, we wondered if these noisy travellers were getting a little blown around on their journey south.

I’m sure some of our neighbours here in Hillgrove heard them coming too! 😂

One minute it’s a peaceful autumn day, and the next, Mother Nature puts on a show you won’t soon forget.

🍂 Did anyone else in the Hillgrove area see or hear this incredible flock? We’d love to know!

🍂 There’s something magical about the changing seasons. 🍁

Life at Pot of Gold Farm has been busy, as usual! But every now and then, Mother Nature reminds us to stop what we’re doing and just take it all in. ❤️

Autumn has a special kind of beauty. The brilliant colours of the trees, the crisp morning air, the quietness settling over the gardens, and skies like this one. 🌅

Each season brings something different to the farm. Spring brings new beginnings, summer brings growth and abundance, autumn brings the harvest, and winter gives the land a chance to rest.

And there’s beauty in every one of them.

We feel so fortunate to call this little piece of Nova Scotia home. Even after all the work, the muddy boots, and the never-ending projects, moments like this remind us just how lucky we are.

Sometimes the most beautiful things in life are right outside your front door. 💛

🐇 RABBITRY 101 | From Our Farm to Our Thanksgiving Table 🍂

This Thanksgiving, we celebrated with something extra special — our very first homegrown rabbit dinner from The Golden Burrow!

At 14 weeks old, Hazel’s kits averaged approximately 5 lbs live weight and dressed out at 3–3.5 lbs each. We prepared our rabbit in a creamy herb sauce, served with mashed potatoes and carrots. And the verdict? Absolutely delicious! 😋

But did you know that rabbits are one of the more resource-efficient livestock animals raised for meat?

🌿 Small footprint: Rabbits require relatively little space and can be raised successfully on small homesteads.

🌾 Efficient producers: Rabbits grow quickly, reproduce efficiently and can turn a relatively small amount of feed into nutritious meat.

🍗 White meat: Domestic rabbit is generally classified as white meat, with a mild flavour and lean, protein-rich meat. Wild rabbit often has darker, stronger-flavoured meat.

🐇 Tender and versatile: Young rabbits are especially tender and don’t necessarily require hours of slow cooking. They can be roasted, pan-fried or prepared in a variety of delicious dishes.

And not every rabbit from this litter was destined for the freezer!

Meet Harriet Brown! 🤎

Harriet was the largest female in Hazel’s litter, and we’ve selected her to stay at The Golden Burrow as a future breeding doe. She represents the next generation of our rabbitry, where we’ll continue selecting for healthy animals, strong growth and excellent mothering abilities.

Raising our own meat isn’t always easy. We care for these animals from the day they’re born, and saying goodbye comes with mixed emotions. But there’s something deeply meaningful about knowing exactly where your food comes from, how it was raised and the care that went into producing it.

For us, homesteading is about more than filling the freezer. It’s about learning, becoming more self-sufficient, respecting the animals that nourish us and making the most of what our little farm provides.

From Hazel’s first litter to our Thanksgiving table — and now Harriet Brown carrying on the next generation. ❤️

That’s another chapter in the story of Pot of Gold Farm.

🍂💛 So Much to Be Thankful For! 💛🍂

It’s been a busy few weeks at Pot of Gold Farm! Land clearing, building projects, harvesting food, preparing for winter, and watching our little farm continue to grow.

We’re especially grateful for the wonderful people who have rolled up their sleeves to help us along the way. Your kindness, time, and hard work mean more than you know. ❤️

As we look around at the beautiful fall colours, our animals, our gardens, and everything we’ve accomplished, we can’t help but feel incredibly lucky.

We came here dreaming of a simpler, more meaningful way of life. It’s a lot of hard work, but every day we’re reminded why we chose it.

We’re thankful for this beautiful place, the food we’re able to raise, the community that supports us, and the opportunity to keep building our dream.

Life is good at Pot of Gold Farm. 🐝🐇🐓

🍁 Happy Thanksgiving from our farm to your family! 💛

🌧️ Rainy Days at POG

There’s something about a rainy day on the farm that gives you permission to slow down.

The project list gets put aside, the tools stay dry, and we happily accept the forced break. 😂

Of course, the animals didn’t get the memo.

So out we go in our raincoats, getting absolutely drenched while we tend the rabbits, feed the meat birds and let the laying hens out for the day. The chickens will hide from a good downpour, but a little drizzle? Apparently that’s perfectly acceptable for scratching around looking for snacks. 🐓

The dogs, on the other hand, are deeply offended by the entire situation. 😂 Heads down, tails tucked, they brave the rain long enough to do their business and head straight back inside.

And then we do the same.

Coffee on. Wet clothes hung up. Listen to the rain fall. ☕🌧️

We’re always grateful for rain on the farm. The gardens need it, the land needs it, and sometimes the farmers need it too. 💛

🌿 The Bigger Picture at Pot of Gold Farm

Sometimes we share the bees, the rabbits, the chickens, the gardens, the projects and all the everyday chaos of farm life… but we don’t often talk about why we’re building all of this.

Pot of Gold Farm has always been about more than producing food.

We want to help people feel empowered to grow food, raise animals, learn practical skills and discover just how capable they really are.

And our dream goes even further than that.

Someday, we’d love POG to be a place where people can come to learn, connect, slow down and simply breathe. A place for workshops and hands-on learning, quiet gardens, yoga or meditation circles, community gatherings and spaces where people can reconnect with themselves, with others and with the land.

We dream of guest spaces where family, friends and visitors can stay. A little farm stand filled with things grown and made here. Maybe a spot to grab a coffee on a weekend morning before heading out on the trail. ☕🌿

And we’re building the foundation for that future right now.

Every beehive we add, rabbit we raise, chicken we hatch, garden bed we build and piece of land we clear is another small part of a much bigger system. We want to grow our apiary, continue raising meat birds and laying hens, preserve heritage breeds, expand our rabbitry, grow more food, improve our soil and, eventually, welcome sheep, guinea hens and a livestock guardian dog to the farm.

It’s a big vision.

And we know it will take years.

We don’t have children who will someday inherit what we’re building, so we’ve started thinking differently about what leaving something behind could mean. We’d love to create a place that continues to have purpose—a place that can teach, feed, support and bring people together long after we’re gone.

But here’s the part we’d really love your help with.

What would YOU like to see at Pot of Gold Farm?

Would you be interested in learning how to raise rabbits for food? Processing your own meat chickens? Beginner beekeeping? Growing and using herbs? Gardening and building healthy soil?

Would you come for a farm craft day and help create something beautiful for the property? A yoga or meditation circle? A quiet morning in the gardens? A workshop where you leave knowing how to do something you didn’t know how to do before?

Or maybe there’s something we haven’t even thought of.

Tell us in the comments: What would make you say, “I’d come to Pot of Gold Farm for that”?

We’re still years away from some of these dreams. But maybe the best way to build a place for community is to start by asking the community what it would like that place to become. 💛

We’re in this for the long haul. And we’re pretty excited to see where it takes us. 🌿🐝🐇🐓
