Baling Hay
by Higginbotham on May.28, 2013, under Uncategorized
Bittersweet Acres began the summer project of baling hay. Patrick is very excited about the quality of hay again this year and it appears that we may have even more than last year. Here are some pictures of the first baling of hay. Special thanks to Pa Rudy and Adam Kahmann!!
Farm Visit with UK and Fellows with the USDA Sustainable Ag Reasearch and Education Program
by Higginbotham on May.14, 2013, under Uncategorized
Bittersweet Acres was happy to host extension agents from the four regions of the U.S. as fellows with the USDA Sustainable Ag Research and Education Program and some representatives from the University of Kentucky for a farm visit this morning. We gave a presentation on what we do boarding horses and growing hay at Bittersweet Acres as an example of the horse industry here in Kentucky outside the racing industry. We would like to thank Lee Meyer and Sarah Lovett from the UK College of Agriculture for the invitation to be a part of the program. Below are some pictures from the visit.
