Yesterday we planted peppers on the farm — several varieities. It was a nice cool day with no wind.
Here are a few pictures of the crop. Keep posted and we will continue to update pictures of the garden so you can see the progress!
What a beautiful weekend for a wedding! This Saturday David and Charlotte were married on the farm and we enjoyed having them as our guests. Congratulations to the newly-weds!
This Mama goose has been patiently waiting on this clutch of eggs for days now. Geese are VERY protective of their eggs and will certainly hiss and bite you if you get too close! So … we will keep our distance and patiently wait for goslings. Hopefully we have a photo of that soon.
Isn’t it amazing how well she blends in with her surroundings? Nature is amazing!
Recently, we bought 100 chickens. Now these little chickens, for a short time fit very easily into two paper boxes.
After they were delivered we transferred them into a stock tank with heating lamps over the top which they soon outgrew.

We will be hosting the 7th annual Firefighters Muster at May Farms on JULY 13th!
The Muster will begin at 9 am, with a captains meeting at 8:00 am. If your department is interested in participating please contact the office at 303.822.5800 for a registration form.
The first Firefighters’ Muster was held on July 4, 1849 in Bath, Maine. Five teams, using hand drawn pumpers, competed to see which team could shoot a stream of water the longest distance. During the second half of the 19th century firefighers’ musters grew. Modern musters are very different from those early events. Today they are more complex, with serious competition among fire companies and individuals. The goal is to perform the challenge task perfectly, and according to strict rules, and in the fastest time.
We are proud to announce the 2013 5K Foam Fest will be held at May Farms September 21st. Register here!
All Roads Lead to Foam!!! The 5k Foam Fest is the newest and craziest race to hit the nation! Smiling and running don’t usually go hand in hand but the 5K Foam Fest is an amazing mix of foam, mud and obstacles thus making, fitness fun.
These little Chinese Geese arrived today. You can visit these babies or any animals in the barnyard on your next trip to May Farms! These feathered friends were not born here. Their feathers are soft and cuddly and they can not join their older friends in the water yet because they do not produce the oil like a mother goose provides for their young babies and they will get too cold. Until they produce that oil they will have to swim in climate controlled waters. Hope to see you at May Farms soon!
As a kid, the summer time meant lots of chores and busy days filled with changing water on crops and keeping an eye on the sprinkler. The sprinkler had to be adjusted, stopped and started manually. I would take turns with dad in the middle of the night, jumping on the 4 wheeler and changing water to make sure that our sprinkler didn’t run across the highway. Now, with the advancements in technology farming has become just as sophisticated as any other technological job out there. You can monitor sprinklers from the comfort of your home, you can program your tractor to drive in a straight line while applying an exact amount of fertilizer per square foot.
