Scrummy Thai-style omelette wraps

February 27, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

Now you know what an egg-advocate I am. What other food can be made into a delicious meal or snack in minutes? Thankfully, on the farm, we have a near endless supply thanks to our happy girls. If you don’t have your own chickens, make sure your eggs carry the British Lion Mark. My favourite … [Read more…]

Just your archetypal farmer’s wife.

February 27, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 14 Comments

What do you think of when you think Farmer’s Wife? Go on, have a think. This is what I think. Rosy cheeks, a rather plump old-ish woman with tight curly hair.She is wearing a piny. She has rough hands and kneads bread.   She churns butter, knits, feeds chickens, has a wicker basket for eggs. … [Read more…]

Making signs for eggs

February 26, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 2 Comments

So thanks to my lovely new chickens, we have LOADS of eggs. So today we decided to make some signs to sell them. Boo was at nursery in the morning so I got Hubster to cut me some plywood. I then gave it a quick coat of pink wood paint and let it dry. Then … [Read more…]

A confession-my secret addiction

February 24, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 21 Comments

To mark the start of a new series of my favourite programme, One Born Every Minute, I thought I’d let you into a little secret. I have an embarrassing addiction. You know how people giving up smoking calculate how much they would save in a year? Well I’ve done it for my obsession. If I … [Read more…]

Let’s raise a glass and go bananas for Fairtrade Fortnight

February 23, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 14 Comments

It’s a hard job this blogging malarky but someone’s got to do it. This week I have been sampling wine. Yes you read that right. I had been tasting wine, purely for blogging purposes. Now as we all know, things always taste better when they are free. My wine was not only free (thank you … [Read more…]

The miracle of the walking-dead chicken. Yes, really.

February 22, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 7 Comments

  I cannot believe what has happened. You know how I told you in my previous post that Cookie had more or less been pecked to death, was left with only one eye one eye and that she had subsequently died? Well, there were five of these Old English Game bantams living in the tree. … [Read more…]

Welcoming our new hens for their fresh start in life

February 22, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

Last Saturday I wrote about how Freshstart for Hens works and what happens to chickens who are farmed intensively for eggs. (See http://farmerswifeandmummy.com/2014/02/15/giving-ex-commercial-hens-a-fresh-start/) This week was the exciting bit. I have just got back from picking up our ten ladies who have come to live with us. The lovely Kerry whose house was used for … [Read more…]

Well, the first ‘heats’ of the Mad Blog Awards have been drawn and www.farmerswifeandmummy.com is only up for ‘most entertaining blog’ and ‘blog of the year!’ I can’t quite believe that a little farmer’s wife from semi-rural Cheshire has been nominated.

Bunny babies and Silkies

February 20, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 9 Comments

  I feel as if I haven’t updated you on the petting zoo recently and it’s moved up a gear in the last couple of weeks. I can just smell spring and spring to me means babies. The sheep are fattening up ready to produce little lambs (just for me) and, after several weeks of … [Read more…]

Chicken escapades

February 19, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 9 Comments

It’s never a dull moment here. Today, after a lot of nagging gentle persuasion, Hubster has moved my big chicken coop from the front field to the garden. It has been like walking in quick sand what with all the mud in the front field and Minty, the pet lamb who is he-sheep sized now, … [Read more…]
