Willows Edge Farm

willowsedgefarm@gmail.com (Unknown) — Thu, 14 Jul 2016 06:24:00 -0600

Hey farm friends! Since the farm has become almost busier than I can handle as a single rancher, I've decided the best way for you to catch up with me and the farm is through the website or our Facebook page. Come see what we're up to at: www.willowsedgefarm.com OR Facebook/WillowsEdgeFarmIdaho Thanks, Corinne Logan

Bah bah black sheep

willowsedgefarm@gmail.com (Unknown) — Fri, 6 Feb 2015 09:30:00 -0700

One of the things we love our the Jacob sheep are their fleeces. While they do turn into beautiful works of art, we choose to sell ours completely raw - saves the buyers money ( a LOT of it) and they also get to come and pick which one they'd like. Our Jacobs produce a nice 3" - 6" length of a fine-medium crimp and from 4-6 pounds, which I'm told, is wonderful for hand spinners. If

Farm Life Camp - 2015!!

willowsedgefarm@gmail.com (Unknown) — Tue, 2 Dec 2014 11:00:00 -0700

Seriously now. We have so much fun at Farm Life Camp! This fun group was hands on from the moment they got here on day 1 learning about nutrition to grooming and yes, riding! As an added bonus for all, we keep our groups SMALL. Some camps think 30 is a small group and it may very well be for them, but for us, 9 is our max as it gives plenty of time for us to teach each of our kids as

Bowl of Cuteness! OH MY!!

Discing up the Sheep pen

willowsedgefarm@gmail.com (Unknown) — Fri, 24 Oct 2014 02:00:00 -0600

Every now and then it just has to be done. We're not fans of discing up the land - and don't for our large hay fields, but this small area is hard & compacted and it just needs to be done. As a bonus, all that sheep poo in there will be a great fertilizer when it comes time to seed!

Gleaning

willowsedgefarm@gmail.com (Unknown) — Tue, 30 Sep 2014 06:00:00 -0600

Have you heard of gleaning? Just Google the word and you'll come up with definitions, groups and more. We were on our way back from picking up half a ton of our GMO free feed for the chickens and found these and a few more handfuls along the side of the road, next to the field after the trucks picked the field clean. We asked the farmer surveying his field and he was happy to have them go to a

Farm Tours

willowsedgefarm@gmail.com (Unknown) — Mon, 8 Sep 2014 08:00:00 -0600

One of our favorite things to do with the farm is teach. We love being able to teach both kids as well as adults the how & why of what we do as well as for them to learn more about it for themselves. Does your child's school do field trips? If so, forward this page on to your teacher and we'll get them scheduled in! You can find out more about our farm tours at: http://

Sven - Frozen?

willowsedgefarm@gmail.com (Unknown) — Thu, 21 Aug 2014 13:24:00 -0600

Not at all the same Sven as from the movie Frozen, but we think this guy is even better! Willows Sven is a breath taking long yearling, WHITE dun, Norwegian Fjord colt with such amazing potential. He has beautiful movement and is our of an imported German mare who has received her Blue Conformation in the NFHR evaluations and his sire is an import direct from Norway. He is currently

There's something very sweet about cows and how they herd together. Below are Von and Valerie hanging out and I'm sure they're wondering what in the world I'm doing. Love our little Irish Dexter cattle! Contact us today if you're ready for an Irish Dexter cow of your own. Registered Irish Dexter starter herds from $2500. If you could have any animals at all, what would you choose and why?

Have You Seen Our New Website?

willowsedgefarm@gmail.com (Unknown) — Tue, 24 Jun 2014 05:30:00 -0600

The riding lesson program has been so popular that it really needed it's own dedicated site with more information than we could put on one page. So, go on over and visit www.boiseridinglessons.com and tell us what you think. Did you get to meet all of our instructors over there? We've got a pretty diverse group of very talented instructors.

Whole Cow Ground Beef

willowsedgefarm@gmail.com (Unknown) — Tue, 17 Jun 2014 07:30:00 -0600

Well, it's that time. While we're always sad to see one of our livestock animals go, we know that we've treated them well. fed them the best we could get, respected them and they are giving us back the most amazing food we could ask for. We're actually processing our bull, who ended up throwing more horned calves than polled (naturally born without horns) which the Irish Dexter can come in both

Farm Cats & Down Time

Every farm has cats. We have cats. We give them the very special title of Organic Rodent Patrol Officers. Here, a few of the younger ones are out playing together. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Chicken Fried Steak

willowsedgefarm@gmail.com (Unknown) — Mon, 25 Nov 2013 14:45:00 -0700

A few weeks ago we processed our first cow in Idaho and one of our first meals was Chicken Fried Steak. We had NO leftovers as even the pickiest eater loved it. I'm going to think that my cooking had something to do with it, but I'm pretty sure the grass fed & finished beef made a statement all it's own. Looking for some amazing, grass fed beef? Contact Corinne to be put on the waiting

New trees

willowsedgefarm@gmail.com (Unknown) — Fri, 15 Nov 2013 14:40:00 -0700

While not highly visible, can you see our new trees for the driveway? We purchased them with leaves on but wanted to wait just a little longer to transplant them. Not very pretty right now but come spring, they will be gorgeous and offer some really pretty shade. I can only imagine what they will look like 10 years from now ... maybe with grandkids climbing in them! :O

Rose Hips for Health

willowsedgefarm@gmail.com (Unknown) — Sat, 9 Nov 2013 14:48:00 -0700

If you haven't gone outside yet and started picking, NOW is the time! I spent a wet, rainy day (OK, hour) picking wild rose hips in the creek bed behind the cow's pasture. Did you know Rose hips have many amazing health benefits including more vitamin C than orange juice?

Pumpkins!

willowsedgefarm@gmail.com (Unknown) — Mon, 4 Nov 2013 14:37:00 -0700

Yes, it's that time of year again. I LOVE fall ... harvesting the crops, the farm starts to slow down and I look forward to enjoying the holidays. Any plans for leftover pumpkins?

1Year

willowsedgefarm@gmail.com (Unknown) — Mon, 8 Apr 2013 11:08:00 -0600

A little late but ...here goes. One year. 365 days. It's been a busy year. We've gone from living in a 240 sq ft camper - life on the road back to life on a farm. We've purchased a farm outside of Boise, Idaho in Kuna. We've made Idaho our home and then decided that it would be our "retirement" home state after we put in a few more years of work in Washington. We lived in the little farm

This is a photo taken at a farm in Kuna, ID. Round rock and pipe - super solid.

Roast Chicken or Turkey Broth

willowsedgefarm@gmail.com (Unknown) — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 10:30:00 -0600

Don't ever toss your pan drippings or the carcass! They make for exceptional broth and soup base. Take your drippings and carcass and toss it in the largest pot you can find (OK, within reason) and add some chopped carrots, onions, celery and 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar (it helps pull the minerals out of the bones but leaves no flavor behind)

Body Wash

willowsedgefarm@gmail.com (Unknown) — Wed, 6 Mar 2013 10:30:00 -0700

For those of you with sensitive skin, I feel your pain. We are a farm with sensitivities and it doesn't end with the food. Dry, itchy skin that doesn't like much on it and yet, you still want to be clean and fresh. So we keep on trying new things. Yes, I've made some of my own that worked. I've also decided that I'd like to try and find an alternative...And we have a winner! Nature's Gate makes

A Boy and His Dog

There's something amazingly special about the relationship between a boy and his dog. And we think Miss Abby is completely the most amazing dog ever. (Sorry Miss Sophie, we do love you too!)

Red Velvet Cupcakes - No Chemicals!

willowsedgefarm@gmail.com (Unknown) — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 13:11:00 -0700

Red Velvet Cupcakes without the chemical food coloring...with BEETS! While they may not be your cup of tea, I'm telling you, your body will thank you for not pumping it full of a man made chemical called Red Dye #40 (or whatever other number they call it). And in fact, with the added fiber and minerals, can we possibly call this a healthy cake. :) Some people say to roast the beets in the
