Actually, I love that cottagecore has given Gen Z a word for "I want to have a big garden and cook my own food and keep chickens" that isn't casually invoking colonialism and manifest destiny. I get so goddamned uncomfortable every time someone refers to their urban hobby farm as a "homestead" and I'm glad to finally see it being replaced with other terms. I will buy a million books about how to live a cottagecore lifestyle if it will convince publishers to stop marketing the "homesteader" lifestyle and will get white city dwellers to stop unironically self-identifying as colonizers.

Ingek73 submitted this gorgeous farmhouse in the Netherlands.  € 1,875,000 .($1,834,640.62)

Have you ever seen a home so full of charm? Look at the straw ceiling. 

This is lovely- big windows let in light, beams, and a mezzanine. Lovely tile floors and that fireplace. 

Nice little desk nook gets lots of natural light- what a pretty place to work.

Beautiful dining room with a view of the garden.

Ground fl. powder room. 

Modern, well-equipped cooks kitchen.

This is nice, but I wonder what the fridge and kitchen things are doing in here. Looks like bd. and storage.

A nice tiled bath.

Laundry room with lots of storage.

Very nice large bath- modern with rustic touches.

Bds. on the 2nd level. Isn’t this pretty? Look at the chandelier.

View from the 2nd level.

What a cozy little bd. Love the red beams.

The outside is stunningly beautiful.

And, look at the artist’s studio.

Isn’t this gorgeous? The pool even has a neat cover so that leaves and things done fall in.

These are the hobby animals. I want them all. I can’t think of anything better than having farm animals as pets. 

Look at all the sheep. 

This must be a caretaker’s cottage.

It’s pretty nice inside.

Are those chickens?

Fruit trees!

What an amazing property.

Meet Swift!

This is baby Swift! She is one of 20 chicks we have hatched this year, and unfortunately she was born with no eyes.

Poor Swift has had a rough start in life. In addition to being blind, the broody hen who hatched her rejected Swift and her siblings, so they are all being hand raised by me. That's probably for the best in Swift's case, because she requires a lot of special care right now.

Chickens are not believed to have a very strong sense of smell, and instead rely on sight to find food most of the time. This is obviously a problem for Swift, and so I am hand feeding her daily at this point in her life.

Here you can see me attempting to feed her mashed chick food!

Today Swift is 6 days old, and for the first time she was able to eat enough food to fill her crop! It was a very special moment for me, because up until now I wasn't sure at all that she would make it, but if she can eat she has a chance!!!

This isn't a post asking for donations or anything, I just wanted to share with all of you how special Swift is, and how rewarding it has been (and continues to be!) for me to care for her.

I have 2 broody hens this year, and together they're sitting on 24 eggs. This is a video of me candling an egg to make sure it's developing properly.

Why candle the eggs? Well, it's rare for any batch of eggs to have a hatch rate of 100%. More than likely it'll be somewhere in the 70-80% range. There are two types of eggs that don't hatch, yolkers and quitters. Yolkers are unfertilized eggs that never develop. Quitters are eggs that start to develop and then quit for whatever reason. Dead eggs that remain under the hen in that warm, humid environment frequently become rotten and begin to grow bacteria inside of them. If left for too long they may even explode and cover the hen and other nest eggs with gross, rotten egg bacteria goo. Not only is this messy and a hassle to clean up, but the bacteria may contaminate some of the good eggs and kill the chick inside.

So candling is an important step in the incubation process, to remove rotten eggs and keep the whole nest clean and healthy!

Windhover Farm began as a honeymoon cottage and grew to be a “hobby farm” in Tacoma, Washington. So, what is a “hobby farm?” Well, it’s not a real farm for making a living, and it’s less than 50 acres. You can sell some eggs & produce, if you want. This one is for sale for $5M. (That’s an expensive hobby.)

Let’s look at the residence first. It’s not your usual farmhouse. This is a large modern home.

It’s very beige, too. 

It has a sunroom with a view of Puget Sound & the Olympic Mountains.

The kitchen has beige cabinetry and isn’t terribly large. 

It’s not pictured, but it has a walk-in freezer for all the produce and stuff. 

The backsplash is cute, w/the farm veggie tiles.

Eat-in area.

And, there’s a dining room, looking out at the terrace and the Sound.

Home office w/that wood ceiling that’s getting more common in new mansions.

There’s a main bd with a walk-in closet and en suite. There’re also 2 junior suites, plus 2 regular bedrooms. 

It has a wine cellar in the basement.

And a pool outside, as well.

It may be your hobby, but this is the caretaker’s house, so you don’t have to do the dirty work. 

There’s a sheep barn, so I’m guessing that’s what this is. You can sell the wool. 

I thought this was miniature golf, but it’s not. There are a number of generators on the property in case the power goes out, so maybe this is a part of it.

B/c it’s not a working farm with crops, I’m guessing that this is the garden. 

There’s a chicken coop and the barn has 4 horse stalls and a tack room, plus a place for a horse carriage.

Notice the top of the barn’s silo. That’s an astronomical observatory w/a telescope.

Look at the size of the house.

Spider Acres meet the ducks: This is a Magpie duck. Magpie ducks were first imported into America by Michigan farmer Isaac Hunter in 1963. Mature Magpie ducks weigh between three to five pounds. The average lifespan of a Magpie duck is 8 to 12 years.
