The Sheep Ate My Garden (And Honestly… I’m Not Even Mad)

🐑 The Sheep Took Over the Garden (And Honestly… I’m Not Even Mad) Well… the sheep won. At some point recently, my sweet little flock decided that my garden was actually their garden — and they completely cleaned it out. Every. Single. Plant. I walked outside expecting to check on winter growth and instead found what can only be described as a very efficient landscaping crew. Not a leaf left behind. Not even a stem. They were standing there looking at me like, “You’re welcome.” 🌿 Sheep: 1 Dana’s Garden: 0 This is real farm life here in Coleman, Florida . No filters. No Pinterest-perfect rows.

Marlene & Darlene Join the Farm + Dolly Turns One! 🐑

Image
Last week we welcomed two sweet baby girls to our little farm in Coleman, Florida — Marlene and Darlene. They were born to their mama, Beulah, who has once again proven to be the most patient and gentle mother. Both lambs are healthy, curious, and already starting to explore their surroundings (while staying close to mom, of course). If you’re staying with us soon, you may be able to see Marlene and Darlene during a scheduled animal visit. But that’s not the only celebration happening on the farm… Dolly Turns One 🎉 Beulah’s first lamb, Dolly, just celebrated her first birthday! It’s hard to believe how quickly a year goes by. Guests who visited last spring may remember her as the tiny lamb bouncing around the pasture. Now she’s grown, confident, and often found keeping an eye on her new little sisters. And of course, we can’t forget Sampson — our ram and proud dad — who lives in a separate pen on the property. What Guests Can Expect Right Now If you’re planning a stay at one of our Co...
