Sullivan’s Family Farm celebrating Open Farm Day

NUTTBY, N.S. — Wagon rides, tours and a petting area are all part of the Open Farm Day activities taking place at Sullivan’s Family Farm.
People are invited to drop by the farm, at 161 Sullivan Road, on Sunday, Sept. 15 between 11 a.m. until 4 p.m.
 
 
Visitors can meet animals, including pigs, goats and hens. There’s even a pet pig on site; a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig-Julian mix called George.
 
There’s no admission fee, but to help cover costs of running the event there will be a sales table and a barbecue. The farm table will offer baked goods, meats, cool treats.
 
Hook & Needle Boutique will be on site with handmade items for purchase and face painters will be offering their services.
 
For the best experience, people are advised to bring old shoes or rubber boots, insect repellent and sunscreen. Those planning to purchase meat should bring a cooler. People paying to items with cash are asked to bring smaller bills and change when possible.

Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Video: Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Getting closer to planting season means one thing… it’s time to get EVERYTHING ready.

Today didn’t go exactly as planned—we thought we’d be hauling potatoes again, but instead we spent the day digging equipment out of the cellar, hooking up the grain drill, and getting tractors ready to roll. With wheat planting just around the corner, every piece of equipment matters.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a normal day without a few problems… dead batteries, hydraulic issues, and a truck tire that absolutely refused to cooperate. We tried everything—jump packs, bead bazooka, ratchet straps… and eventually had to bring out the “big guns” just to get things moving again.

But that’s farm life—adapt, fix, and keep moving forward.

We’re getting close to go-time. Wheat seed is coming soon, and planting season is right around the corner
