I just saw your horses lying down? Are they sick? (Or worse, are they dead?)
Contrary to popular belief, when our horses are lying down, they’re usually just enjoying a good rest or possibly trying out the latest in equine relaxation techniques. Horses can sleep standing up, thanks to a special mechanism in their legs, but they also enjoy lying down for a deeper sleep or a cozy sunbath. So, no need for alarm—they’re not sick or, GAH..dead. They’re not trying to start a yoga trend. They’re simply catching some Z’s or soaking up the sunshine, embracing their inner peace.
Can I use your greenhouse to tan in the winter?
While it’s warm, it’s designed for plant cultivation, not people tanning. However, you’re welcome to bask in the glow of healthy vegetables!

Why does the chicken coop have two doors?

Can I charge my phone with your electric fence?

You don’t have a bull? (Asked while standing on the other side of the fence from our massive bull).
There’s actually tons of bull here. Ha! With respect to our Belted Galloway, he’s naturally polled (meaning hornless). Bulls don’t need horns, just the proper rigging. Those giant dangling things right there help.
How do you plant spaghetti squash? Do you use spaghetti noodles? Haha
As much as we love the idea of growing pasta, spaghetti squash seeds are what go into the ground. No noodles required—just soil, water, and a little bit of farmer magic.

How do you know if a guinea hen is happy?

Is your greenhouse made of glass?
Now, wouldn’t that be a sight for sore eyes — and a target for every mischievous stone-thrower in a five-mile radius! No, we’ve opted for the clear plastic model.
Can hogs really fly?
They’re more likely to dig their way to freedom than take off into the sky. Though, if you see one with wings, it might be time to cut back on the Allen’s.
