Visit to the Walley Homestead



I went a birthday celebration at a friends' yesterday. They are scientists by profession, but are some awesome urban homesteaders. When I got to their place I was blown away beautiful their place was. Their place was on a hill that overlooked an essentially untouched nature reserve. They had plenty of sunshine to have raise beds in the front and chickens in the back. The chickens looked so happy, and the food was fantastic. I managed to take a few pics before all the margaritas got to me.

Red Rhode Island, Black Minorca, Cuckoo Wyandotte, Americana, and a Black Copper Maran in the back.


Look at how dark the maran's egg is. They are all JUMBO sized too!


A pretty nifty coop design. One of the hens had just laid an egg.


Stacking worm compost bin. The 4x4 squares stack on top to make the bin as tall as they want. Allows for easy transfer from the composted to the composting pile.


Malabar Spinach. Isn't that beautiful?


Rosemary bush by the front step.


Lunch. Grilled chicken, potato salad, baked beans, coleslaw, guacamole, and two types of green salad.


Forget Sprinkles, check out desserts by Dior.


Last thing on my camera. Yorkie going after a gopher.
