Bákurholt bær Farmstead

We were wondering if it would be one or two.... The wait is over! Astrid gave birth to two beautiful baby ewes this morning and what's more, she waited for us to be there so we got to experience the whole birth! She's looking to be a good mama already and both ewes are strong and healthy. What a blessing! The first born ewe is a Moorit Mouflon and the second a Moorit for those of you interested in the coloring. They are so cute and going to be gorgeous. We will be posting more pictures and videos soon, but we wanted to give mama time with her babies. We'll also be scheduling another naming contest for you who are part of the Member's Community as well as publishing more details about the upcoming Meet The Babies event on the farm! If you aren't already part of the Member's Community…

As you know, our last name and the name of the property means Beech Wood. So it is exciting for us to see the buds starting to pop out! It's going to be a beautiful first spring on the Bákurholt Bær.

Step by step we are getting things done at The Viking Farm. This week a good friend came and used his excavator to cut a road in from the floor of the valley up to the top of our ridge! Having this access will allow us to pick up the pace even more as we continue to build the farmstead. Here is a video showing some of the excavation and the roughed-in road.
