  Assuming you read the title of this post properly, I assure you that I did write billy goat. I know, we didn’t want anything to do with a male goat at least for a few years, so we couldn’t possibly be having billy goat adventures. Except now we are. You see, the thing about […]

For quite some time now, we at the Hust Roost have been dreaming of starting a store. This year, we began with a humble little table by the road. The success of that table, along with the support of local friends and customers, has pushed us to work harder to make a store a reality–sooner rather

My stepmother, Cathy, left one week ago today to be with two of her sisters in California while they recovered from a kidney transplant surgery (one of them gave her kidney to the other). With all credit going to God, the surgery went very well, and the recovery processes are going as planned. Any and all prayers for them

We all have one… that wish list of projects that we would like to get done this summer. Funny how the list always ends up being longer than what time seems to allow. Anyway, this list is to give you an idea of what is on the front burner and cooking at the Hust Roost

Last year, we decided that we wanted to let our chickens free range. The benefits of doing this were largely two-fold: the birds and their eggs would be healthier, and we would have to feed them less. We had tried to expand the fences, but our growing flock (we currently have 39 laying hens) would

As I’ve been learning lately, having just moved to Glen Aubrey–a little hamlet 20 minutes outside of Binghamton–the Binghamton area has hundreds of small towns. So does Rochester (where I was raised) but it’s very different. In Rochester, everyone says “I’m from Rochester” even though they technically live in a smaller town. Here, everyone feels much more allegiance to

I know we have been planning on getting bees for quite some time now, but going from planning to get bees to being able to walk up to our hives and watch the little gals zipping in and out are two totally different things. It seems surreal. I can still hardly believe we have three

The last few weeks have been a little crazy. We had an opportunity to get three young goats that we could not pass up… but it was a little earlier than we had initially been thinking. In other words, we had to do a lot of preparation in just a short amount of time. We
