Canesister's 2025 journal - Bushel & Peck Farm

My Facebook feed has been JAMMED with posts of what people are bringing to the swap & where their booths can be found... since Wed. They are camping out for days to be sure to get good spaces. This thing gets bigger every year. It's almost too much to see in one day as it is.
I'm taking my sister just so she can see the spectacle of it. .... and so she can guard my wallet because I'm petty she @farmerjan , @Mini Horses , and @fuzzi would happily encourage me to spend next month's mortgage on animals, plants & crafts!

I'm driving my Highlander, lots of room for stuff.

Is there a webpage for this event? I don't do Facebook.

SOOOOO Looking forward to meeting up with more "like minded" friends this year...
Already arranged to get some of the Buff Leghorns from the friend/poultry judge that we saw last fall... I do want to breed some exhibition quality... he will have some "cull" hens also so will get a few extras for eggs too probably...
2 of my blueberry plants don't seem to have survived the miserable cold, frigid temps and ice/snow etc that we had this winter so will try to replace them if I can... they are soooo expensive in TSC and the nursery here...

I am actually going to drive the Explorer this year... it gets near the mpg as the subaru... so lots of room for the chickens to be inside instead of in the pickup bed...safer going down the road home too..... going to stop at the cardboard dumpster to see if there are any good boxes to bring along... got the roll of "tape" in there from the roosters I took to my ex for that friend of his... to put any boxes together if I need more... Want to see if I can find any of the "Vorweck" chickens, that I should have bought when I saw them a year ago(maybe 2 yrs ago?)... where I bought that big "trap" @Mini Horses .... Got plenty of room in the explorer... I've missed the big roosters crowing so will be glad to get some more back...

That is why I am picking up some of the buff Leghorns we saw last fall... he has a breeding trio and a possible extra female or 2 that are not as good just for extra eggs...
The one rooster in the group of 4 I just got rid of looked alot like your rooster...
