Welcome to Kenyon Acres News,
Don and I and the girls, Kelsey and Ashley, live on a 48 1/2 acre farm in an area called East Blackpool which is just across the river from the town of Clearwater. Our farm is close to the North Thompson River, just across the road from it. We have a creek that runs through our property which normally runs seasonally but this year although it did dry up in August began to run again in October and is still running now. Should be interesting when high water hits in the spring.
Currently we only have chickens and 2 cats for animals, oh and a couple of turkey's. I now have an incubator so in the spring hope to start hatching out my own laying birds and turkey's. Also in the spring is when I'll order the meat birds which I will keep a few of them for breeding so that I can start hatching out our own meat birds. Nothing like having home grown. In the spring is when we'll get a couple of piglets to raise up for meat and then in the late summer a couple of cows for meat. What we don't use for ourselves we sell. The eggs are also for selling. From these sells it all pays for itself.
Don is hoping that this next spring he will be able to get a couple of horses to work on the farm. This has been his dream and desire ever since we moved here. It's looking like that may become a reality before too long.
Our driving school was a pretty slow go for most of the year but began picking up in Sept. it's slowing down again with winter setting, but hopefully will pick up again after February. For those of you who don't know we have a driving school for the higher class licensing, big trucks. We also run Air Brake courses.
The girls continue to do very well in school and are both honor students. They are good girls and most of the time a joy to have around.
