🌱🚨 GEM SQUASH UPDATE 🚨🌱

The gem squash are doing far too well this year! 😳

This photo was taken from our back door, and we can already see them getting HUGE. At this rate, it won’t be long before we lose sight of the sheep, the ducks, and possibly the house itself! 🌿🏠

Soon, this is going to be less of a vegetable patch and more of a full-blown Gem Squash Jungle. 🌱🌱🌱

Baloo has seen the danger and has already assembled a highly trained tactical squad to protect the rest of the farm. 🐶⚔️

So far, she has recruited:
🐑 The Dorper Sheep Division – experts in charging into situations without a plan.
🦆 The Indian Runner Duck Brigade – loud, enthusiastic, and completely unqualified.

Armed with machetes and questionable confidence, they have set off on “Operation Squash Control” to stop the vines from taking over the farm. 😂

We’ll keep you updated on their progress… assuming the gem squash don’t capture us first.

Today, we salute every Comrades Marathon runner taking on this extraordinary journey.

The road ahead is long, the hills are challenging, and there will be moments when every step feels harder than the last. But remember, you are stronger than you think. Keep moving forward, trust your training, and embrace the spirit that makes the Comrades Marathon so special.

To all the runners, know that people around the world are cheering for you. We are especially thinking of those who are abroad and wish they could be standing on the route, encouraging you every step of the way. Their hearts are with you today.

We are also keeping the families, friends, and supporters in our thoughts as they wait, watch, and cheer on their loved ones. May every runner have a safe, successful, and memorable race.

Wishing you strength for the climbs, courage for the tough moments, and joy as you cross that finish line.

Good luck, Comrades.We are proud of you! 🇿🇦🏅🏃

🌼Exciting things are happening in the gem squash patch! 🌼

We absolutely love this time of year when the plants burst into beautiful yellow flowers and the promise of a great harvest starts to appear.

Even more exciting, we’re beginning to spot tiny baby gem squash forming among the blooms! 💚 Every little gem is a reminder that harvest season is getting closer.

It’s amazing to watch these little vegetables grow day by day, and we can’t wait to see them develop into the delicious gem squash that many of you look forward to each year.

We’ll keep sharing updates as our gems grow. For now, we’re enjoying the flowers, the sunshine, and the excitement of another season taking shape. ☀️🌱

🎉 500 Followers! 🎉

Wow! We have reached 500 followers, and we just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to each and every one of you. ❤️

We truly appreciate all of your support, whether you’ve liked and shared our posts, purchased our products, recommended us to family and friends, or simply followed along on our journey. Every bit of support means the world to us.

As a small family-run farm, everything we do is done by us. From the daily farm work to preparing products, managing orders, and keeping our page updated, it can be very tiring and time-consuming at times. But seeing people enjoy our products and knowing that you continue to support and believe in what we do makes it all worthwhile.

We are incredibly grateful for the amazing community that has grown around our farm. Reaching this milestone wouldn’t have been possible without you.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Here’s to the next 500 followers and many more memories to come! 🌱🚜❤️

With gratitude,
The Casa Da Ovelha Negra Team 🐑

Our sweet corn is also coming up very well! 🌽☀️

So far, we’ve managed to protect it from the javalis (wild boar), which is no small task! 🐗We’re keeping a close eye on things and are delighted with how it’s growing.

We can’t wait to harvest these beautiful cobs and enjoy some fresh sweet corn on the braai with a side of gem squash, soaking up the sunshine and celebrating the rewards of the season. 🌿😋

Here’s hoping the javalis continue to stay away!

Our gem squash are doing incredibly well and the patch is starting to look a little like Jurassic Park! 🌱🦖 The plants have really taken off, and it’s exciting to see them thriving.

Dev is still supervising operations from afar while he continues to recover, but he’s hoping to be back getting his hands dirty again in the next few days. In the meantime, he’s keeping a close eye on things and making sure everything stays on track.

We’re looking forward to seeing what the next few weeks bring! 💚

🌱 Exciting news! 🌱

When our delicious Gem Squash are ready for harvest, we’ll be putting up our gorgeous new banner outside the farm to make it easier for you to find us. 🐑🚜

Keep an eye out for it during the harvest season—it’ll be your sign that fresh, farm-grown Gem Squash is available! 💚

We’re working hard to become better known here in Portugal, and today we finally received some of our advertising goodies! 🎉

Keep an eye out for our car as we’re out and about in the cities, around the farm, and at local markets. We’re excited to spread the word about what we do and connect with even more people in our community.

We absolutely love how this turned out and can’t wait to show it off! 🚜✨

If you spot us, be sure to give us a wave! 👋
