How to make hay Part 6! HAULING!

Now you have all your hay bales sitting out on the field and the rain is coming, so you have to get them picked up and put away! This is always the toughest day, physically, but is so much fun. We find friends, neighbours, and family who want a great workout, cold drinks, and a good meal and run trailers in and out of the field all day until the bales are tucked into every dry nook in the barn we can find. We also try time customer pick ups with baling day, so our customers can get a bit of a discount when they load it themselves right off the field.

So thankful to the best of friends and family who come every time we call and spend hours putting in the hard work to help us be successful 🩷 It takes a village and we are so lucky to have a good one!

Wondering the best way to hard cook your farm fresh eggs? I think I’ve found the trick!

First of all, pop over to your favourite farm stand and pick up fresh eggs with those gorrrrrrgeous marigold hued yolks. I’ve found the best way to guarantee easy peeling is to use OLDER eggs. Yep! The shell is air permeable, and over time a small layer of air can build up between the membrane and the shell, which means easier separation between the egg white and the shell. If you’re specifically looking to buy eggs for hard boiling, ask the farmer! I’m sure they’d be happy to get you a dozen or more eggs that are a week or two old (eggs can last for WEEKS if stored properly, so 2 weeks is nothing!).

Next, get your water boiling. Yes, before you add the eggs. No, they won’t crack it will be ok. Once the water is at a roiling boil, add your eggs slowly and gently. Now get the water boiling again and cook your eggs for 6-7 mins for very loose yolks, 7-8 mins for jammy, or 8-9 mins for hard cooked.

Once the timer goes, strain the water off the eggs and add cold water with ice to stop the cooking process and get them as cool as quick as possible!

Once they are cool, you’ll be amazed at just how easy it is to peel them - high protein easy meal prep, check!

Let us know if you have a favourite way to guarantee a perfectly cooked egg that’s easy to peel!

Making hay, Part 5! BALING!

Okay now you’ve got your hay dried, you’ve raked it into windrows, now is everyone’s favourite part BALING!

This beautiful machine scoops up the hay off the field, compacts it via internal mechanisms, baling twine gets looped around the bale, knotted, and cut, then punched out the back side and dropped onto the field! It’s truly a comforting sound at the end of a hard week, knowing that things are just about finished.

One extra thing we do at our operation is we also have a moisture meter installed, with sensors that are inside the baler measuring moisture levels of the bales as they are formed - that way we can make sure the moisture levels are ideal for long term storage of hay without risk of mold or fire. It’s shocking how much moisture levels can range across a wide area of field (areas that have wetter ground due to natural springs or water features, or areas that get more shade tend to dry slower), so this way we know what the moisture reading is for each bale and we can flag issue bales that get fed to our cows right away and not stored or sold!

Making hay part 4! RAKING!

Once the hay is dried enough, we rake the hay into windrows using a…rake. Wild. This concentrates the hay into lines so the baler can come along and pick up the hay off the field efficiently.

Shout out to Farmer Dan (my wonderful dad) who is not actually a farmer, but an (retired) accountant, who learned how to rake on the fly and raked up nearly 2000 bale’s worth of hay over two days. 👏🏼
