Smivie Farms

Also, this is the sad excuse of a garden I'm currently working with.... Can you tell I gave up? Despite the lack of effort on my part, there are still things wanting to survive and produce. This weekend, I will be working on cleaning up this tragic mess! #smiviefarms #simplelife #growyourownfood #garden #plants https://www.instagram.com/p/CDC8ylkFylU/?igshid=19yn4u3hnadak

I had all but completely given up on our garden for this year. The odds have really been stacked against us, so any kind of produce is a win in my book. Considering: - Garden didn't get put in until almost 3 weeks later than I planned. - 3 days after I got the garden put in we received 4.5" of rain in one night. - The rain was so hard it compacted the soil to the point it was hard as a rock. - Tiller died. - Finally got in to till and replant making the garden now 4 1/2 weeks later than we needed it to go in. - Weeks with absolutely no rain and everything started to burn. #smiviefarms #reallife #garden #plants #growyourownfood #simpleliving https://www.instagram.com/p/CDC74NYFRVY/?igshid=ocuvlcqqlwsx

Bertha has spent the last 3 years as the face for Smivie Farms, and she spent a very happy 4 years with us here.... I hate to see anything go, but with this one there was just nothing I could do. Life and death are just part of this, but it never makes it any easier, even if to some it was nothing more than a chicken..... #smiviefarms #simplelife #simpleliving #raiseyourown #backyardchickens #chicken #lifeanddeath https://www.instagram.com/p/CCMkfUelCWn/?igshid=1bk9xtv1efmjt

Such a big wagon for so few plants! Oh well, we're testing out a "Bountiful Harvest patio planter" with herbs! #smiviefarms #bountifulharvest #patioplanter #herbgarden #growyourownfood https://www.instagram.com/p/CBO5SlXFcii/?igshid=1h2qw63v0mese

Testing out our version of a "rocket stove". Is it really a rocket stove? Nope, but it works like one! Now, to paint it with the high heat paint and get a cooking grate for the top! #smiviefarms #simplelife #repurpose #reuse #rocketstove https://www.instagram.com/p/B_yRiK8lKwZ/?igshid=fv3gpdfr3gf8

It's hard to believe this was my little feral kitten we found starving, under an abandoned house in the middle of no where, on a 100 degree day in July. The kitten that I wasn't supposed to keep. That we didn't really need, but desperately needed us. #smiviefarms #simplelife #rescue #rescuekitten #catsofinstagram #catstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B-IoAsmF6V-/?igshid=hknoqos1wj4g

"The Situation" Day 1: - Inmates in Cell Block C were released on their own recognizance, however they quickly returned after a sudden down pour. - Inmate P, Inmate C, and Inmate S had their cells searched. No contraband found. -Guard S. Doo is not built for prison farm duties as he doesn't like to get his dainty toes muddy. -New Uniforms were issued today for guards, they now consist of sweatpants and muckboots. #smiviefarms #simplelife #simpleliving #socialdistancing #selfisolating #thesituation https://www.instagram.com/p/B9-eH6UldIN/?igshid=i5ri6b7v3w4y
