PROOF that good things take time 💚🧡🤍🩷

RANUNCULUS have finally made their appearance onto The Farmstand 🙌🏼

These lush, layered blooms won’t last long (although they do in the vase🏺😉) so treat yourself after the school run or on your way home from work!

You can catch a limited number of these beauties quietly making their way out from field to Farmstand from now and over the long weekend 🤌🏼

It’s DUCK SEASON! 🥚🦆

We now have fertile Indian Runner duck eggs available if you’ve ever wanted to have a go at hatching your own ducklings.

And very soon, we will have ducklings for sale! 🫶🏼

Indian Runners are a wonderful breed of duck that are prolific layers, largely flightless and are incredible bug hunters - making them extremely popular on lifestyle blocks and farms.

Eggs are available in 6 packs for $15. Lesser amounts can be organised for $3 an egg.

We’re only too happy to answer any questions, or provide any guidance along the way!

So get in touch! 🌸🩵

🔔 NEW ANIMAL ALERT 🔔

A huge big welcome to our beautiful new Indian Runner drake!

Isn’t he just DIVINE 💛🤍😍

He’s in isolation to let the current flock get to know him a little better BUT, he needs a name! We’d love to hear your suggestions 🦆☺️

🐓 POULTRY PEN UPGRADES 🦆

With the spring weather putting on some cracking weather, I’ve been head down, powering through some property upgrades. Goodbye crappy duck pond!

The poultry pen has long been on our list, but with varying opinions on how to form a practical permanent set up for these guys, we’ve pushed back this project every season.

Coops painted ✅ Next - THE DREADED POND 💦

Anyone who owns ducks knows it’s a constant battle trying to stop them making a mud pit and trying to keep their water sources clean……

So, I’ve converted a clamshell pool into a practical duck pond set up. I’ve plumbed in a sink basket and plug into the base, which leads out to a back up valve which allows for the pond to be gravity drained off into our hedgeline…..making pond cleaning and refilling a breeze and sends the water elsewhere.

The pond is nestled on a home made soak pit, and the wide diameter of the river stones surrounding the pond stops the ducks dropping mouthfuls of dirt into the water.

Bordered with grasses to help absorb moisture and create a more enriched environment - I’m thrilled with how this DIY project has turned out 🤌🏼

Next stop 🛑 Permanent Fencing 🙌🏼
