Another coop has arrived!

Our new coop arrived and is now in place. We found these wonderful coops over near Richfeild Springs. The business goes by the name Yoders and they offer a wide range of building and furniture. Wonderful people to do business with and really well made pieces. We loved our first one didn't think twice when another was needed.
Here is a picture of some of our spring chicks. They are growing into beautiful birds. We have however come to realize that we have way to many roosters!
We intend to keep some but not all. We want to be able to have hatching eggs in the spring so are keeping our finest Roosters.

This pictures show just how wonderful the new coop fits in! Soon the run will be fenced in and the next round of chicks will be settled in!

The Artist

We decided after much talk that we wanted to give our barn a little face lift, but in a way that was not only beautiful but also would support local farmers.....the search began and it wasn't long that it became very clear just who the person was for the the job! That person was Scott Hagan-http://www.barnartist.com/-from Ohio.

We started with our farm seal.

Then moved on to something we are passionate about....

Supporting our local farmers.

Each piece came to life.

Our barn has been more then just a Big Red Barn to us but now wow..... We are putting our own foot print here.....Thanks Scott!

And then.....

After a wonderful dinner we welcomed the public to Bakers Acres for an Open House event. This allowed the public to come and enjoy seeing the Airstreams and meet the campers. After Open House the public was asked to join us for an amazing fireworks display. It was breath taking and everyone that attend spoke of the wonderful show of lights. Fellow Airstreams shared these amazing pictures with us and I thank them. These shots help to show you some of the magic that was created here on the Farm.....

As the calm after the fireworks started to settle in another "unplugged" concert was provided by Antsy McClain---www.unhitched.com.

Two days left......

Everyone loves a clown

We were so very lucky to start our day off here at Baker's Acres with will a fabulous homemade breakfast and then an amazing clown show! This show was provided by a family friend of our who goes by the name of Obie the Clown. He is a fellow Airstreamer and what a Clown!!! He is a favorite here in our family and the kids, and adults look so forward to seeing him clowning around and just being a happy camper! Thanks Obie!

And it begins.....

And so it begins.....the much awaited and much talked about "Birthday Bash". Let me give you a little break down of what this represents. It's a celebration in honor of the creator of the Airstream travel trailer. This event was held by a new club known as TAC, The Airstreamers Club. This wonderful new club was founded by no other then my husband Robert Baker! He has been an Airstream enthusiast for years......all going back to very wonderful memories of his Grandfather Donald Stanton and his own love for Airstream's and making it a family affair. We carry that mind set ourselves. Camping for us is a "family" affair.
The first trailer arrived 6/20/10 and slowly but surely they are cruising in......we are expecting 85-90 trailers.......and event of a life time......an event to remember.....

Scapes! What a treat!

These are our Scapes! Scapes are the blossom of garlic. Much like that of the bloom of an onion you should also trim these. Scapes have a slightly softer Garlic taste and don't have to be cooked to be eaten.

I'm in hopes of using them in fresh pesto, freezing them, pickling them, and cooking with them. I'm amazed how much our kids love them. They are such a treat! You will have to be sure to look for them at our farm market next year!!!

The smell of fresh cut wood.....

The portable sawmill arrived yesterday and was hard at work today in and out of rain showers. Rob contacted a millsmen by the name of Mike Ulrich of Sherburne for the job. He had a really nice set up and between he and Rob the knocked out about 13 hemlock logs.

This wood will be the stickered in the barn for the future Farm Stand and Sugar Shack here at Bakers Acres. The idea that the wood came here from the Farm is wonderful. We are always busy here with our plans!
