Yes, we have neglected our blogging duties since March 2016. We have been busy constructing and farming and not posting regularly to social media. Lots of pictures have been taken of the process and posted to our portfolio (link to portfolio). Several highlighted projects are below:

We built 2 vault privies. One for RambleRill Farm and one for the confluence property of the Eno River Association.

ERA Privy

We also built a huge horse facility for Rohan Farm in Mebane, NC. Just a few thousand feet of fencing for good measure. Fence was a combination of woven wire and 3 board. We also performed grading, road relocation, water distribution and hydrants, and a barn.

At other client locations we built fences to contain horses, goats, and chickens, fences to keep out deer, a hay barn converted to an agri-tourism destination, some large chicken runs/aviaries, and some major grading work just to name a few projects.

And our pigs at Busted Bucket Farm got huge!

And Frank grew some beautiful lettuce!

Between construction projects and our own farm responsibilities, things got really busy over the last few months, and we didn’t have much time to update the site. From the time of the last post, we built several fences, a Super Moo-tel hoop structure, a vault privy, barn conversion, and several sheds. Below are some pictures of some of the projects.

When looking for a hydraulic adapter for the post tamper, I found the old Country Estate Crafters, LLC sign and decided to hang it on the barn.

Today the geese, goats, cows, and pigs are dining on some serious organic grub: hydroponic butter lettuce, broccoli, romaine, carrots, peas, and multi-greens all courtesy of a generous big box retailer’s waste stream. What a feeding frenzy.

For the first time, the young pigs met the cows in the same pasture. The pigs thought the cows were something to eat until the cow made the pig fly by throwing it with her head. I wish had caught that move on video.
