Our growing farm staff with now 2 full-time employees and a summer intern have been hard at work at Bahr Farm over the past 6 months. To help Our Harvest’s farming efforts, all electrical wiring was moved underground and now areas like our historical barn have electricity and outlets. This improvement in combination with hours spent cleaning up the barn and taking care of problematic trees allowed us to host our annual member meeting inside! There were also improvements made to the water lines to prevent freezing over the winter. The pond is now full and has been stocked with bass, blue gill, catfish and more from Jones Fish Hatchery. The grass around the pond has been seeded and there are plans to install a wind powered aerator. Now that the pond is functioning, the team has seen lots of wildlife like ducks and birds using the pond as a haven. Cardinal has welcomed two calves, Libby and Damien, and spent countless hours with Damien who had trouble latching to her mother. The team bottle fed her multiple times a day to ensure her survival and we are excited to report she is doing great! Three pastures have been fenced off for rotation and reseeded into warm season grasses. The south field has been set up for hay and the team has completed one harvest and hopes for 3 more this summer. Bahr Farm’s team posts regular updates and friendly cow videos to our Facebook page, so follow to stay updated!
