Let the Holiday Season Begin with Beautiful Rose Hips!
We are pleased to be able to offer fresh cut, thornless red and orange rose hips for your seasonal wedding and holiday plans this year. Planting anything takes patience and this project has been a few years in the making, but the payback in stress relief while hanging out in the rose bushes has been a lifesaver this year!
Which Came First Turkey Vultures or Dracula?
Good Eeeeevening…beginning in late spring we see a lot of Turkey Vultures here at Goebel Hill Farm. These huge birds with creepy red faces hang out in this valley all summer long. They scavenge for carrion, road kill and they eat cow pies and rotten pumpkins, too. Perfect! Apparently, having that red skin on their faces, rather than feathers, keeps the mess in check! We enjoy watching the vultures ride the thermals over the farm and in the valley below us. One summer morning we counted seventeen birds all soaring in the sky at once!
