    Farm Jam 2021- The Year After COVID

    COVID

    The year after COVID. We didn’t get many pictures. It’s like we wanted to see people with our eyes instead of through a camera lens for once!

    COVID
    Malcolm Rice, David Rice, Bruce Rice in the S.S Tippy, and Ryder (The only dramatic one this weekend).

    It was a great FARM/ FAM Jam. WE HAD BABIES! You know we are close to the end of the COVID epidemic when babies can leave the house!

    Adam & Jenna had their little one out along with Raje and Mike. Aunties and grand aunties we’re loving it!

    The Boiler Room Boys & friends hosted by Malcolm Rice plays the main stage.

    Drew cooked up a storm again.  There was of course so much food and so many aunties to make sure you ate that food. Lots of people left with leftovers (goodie bags of food) or eggs.

    It was a good group of people (Claudia and Bernie didn’t get that camper they were going to look at in the morning. the table bed was too small)

    Most of the 35- 45-year-olds made it out of bed by 9 am. Their parents were still disgusted with them for sleeping in. Breakfast was already over.

    Tents were set up and taken down. Every time it was funny and a family event.

    What do you call 12 Rice’s setting up a tent?

    Friday night entertainment. TAKING IT DOWN SUNDAY…EVEN FUNNIER. (Someone send the video please).

    The pigs made their debut by being the smelliest of the evening.

    Summer 2020- Social Distancing!

    Summer 2020 was my (Kelly’s) first full season living primarily at the farm. What better place to social distance is the farm. That’s a LIE! The Rice farm has been a haven for people looking for outdoor retreat! Bon fires, hiking, biking, sledding. We even showed up for Christmas.

    Garden

    Our giant garden produced a little before the swarm of grasshoppers wiped everything out. Cucumbers, carrots, garlic hardly produced. Corn surprisingly well again this year. Of course beans, peas and beets did fine. We used all heirloom fingerling potato seed this year as we couldn’t find red potato seed. WE HAVE CUTWORMS! Gross!

    Water

    We ran mostly off of rainwater this year. Our dugout went dry. We shipped cooking & shower water from Pence and Regina.

    Chickens

    We had a flock of 20 birds on the farm laying eggs in the new chicken coop. During the grasshopper invasion they hardly had to be fed. Their Eggs were sold by Malcom at SIAST. Next year there will be a price increase in eggs, so we can make our money back. At the end of the season October 25, the chickens were sold.

    Critters and Such

    For the end of the season we lit all of Jeffs old brush on fire.

  • We Have Chickens!

    We Have Chickens!

    We finally have our chickens!

    We drove to Chamberlin, Saskatchewan to get chickens and they stunk the whole drive back. I (Kelly) honestly didn’t realize they smelled so bad and all they do is poop!

    They have just finished molting So they look like garbage. We’ll see how the dogs get along with them.

    The Eggs

    May 30th- So far we’ve been getting 5 a day. 2-3 in the roost and 1-2 in the feeder and 1 behind the water dish.

    We haven’t been able to find someone to get last years straw from so we’ve been using paper. They don’t seem to mind.
