  • So much has been happening at Hedge Hill Farm over the past year! We have a bunch of new friends on the farm, new crops, and we are building a farm stand too! It's a giant project that we are only at the beginning of but I have to say it's so fun and rewarding to be close to the land, taking care of our little corner of nature and growing food to share! Let me know if you have any questions in the comments and don't forget to follow @hedgehillfarm on Instagram!

    Having a farm and/or a piece of land to grow your own food is the smartest thing anyone can do right now these days. You'll know how it's grown, what's in it, what's on it, and you can feed your family with it. Smart

    Excuse me if I ramble please, I have a bit of dementia. John's videos remind me of better days. I am an old woman in 🇨🇦. Back in the 1970s, we restored a beautiful brick home with fireplaces in all rooms built in 1817 in the charming town of Niagara-on-the Lake, ON, home of the Shaw Festival. It sat on a 1/2 acre of land with apple & pear trees, a birch grove, quince bushes, primula. We made a tiny kitchen garden where there once was a chicken run. Very fertile spot! We hedged it with lavender. It was on the migration route of spring warblers when flocks of them hung like Christmas tree ornaments from the branches of the trees. Our greatest joy was early spring when we harvested tiny peas that were so sweet & barely needed cooking. A few years ago, our grandsons visited. The town has become a tourist trap. The current owners of our house severed the lot & some horrible fake colonial was being built. I trust John's house is far enough in the country never to suffer this fate. Have a beautiful day, everyone 🙋❤️🇨🇦.

    I love the flowers for bees. Have you considered planting milkweed for butterflies??? Butterflies are on the decline as well due to loss of habitat, due to farming (so sorry). But if you plant milkweed you will encourage the monarchs to visit your beautiful farm and you will be blessed by their gorgeous colours. They will thrive in your space. :)

    Hi John !!! Wow this is so lovely 😊 I am Nigerian but now living in the U.S and I had never thought much of Nigerian dwarf goats and the milk they produce! In fact in Nigeria I dare say the more known milk (from livestock) is from cows. But it’s interesting to me that here goats milk and cheese are very popular and even more expensive than their cow counterparts . I recently tried a cheese cake recipe that combined both goat cheese and cream cheese and it was awesome!
    Well done to you for your forward thinking with the farm, I think that’s a very smart way to go.

    I needed this so much! Thank you for sharing a Hedge Hill Farm update! I love that you can speak goat so well! And the BEES! I am thrilled with your meadow! I finally got all my courage up and planted two pumpkin seeds. I have one pumpkin...maybe two! My plants produced mostly male flowers but with the bees and other beneficials in my yard, I guess things got done! Thank you again! Loved it!

    🤣you are HILARIOUS ... whispering I don't even want them to hear us talking about it ❤️🤣 everything looks absolutely beautiful but that doesn't surprise me everything you do is great! I made your blueberry muffins and raspberry muffins because I had company this week and they raved about them‼️ thank you for always taking us along and for the great recipes it's nice to see you out of the kitchen as well❤️
