Ending the Year on a High!

As we said in our previous post, Gleneden Ridge Farm has reached the end of it's 2020 vacation season. We've had lots of high points and the net result is that we've maintained our Airbnb Superhost status, which is great!

Gleneden Ridge Farm’s Summer Season: A Recap

Our Summer season had a late start, what with the COVID-19 pandemic wreaking havoc. It was late June when we our first Airbnb guests arrived, and July when we started barrel racing, but the late start gave us some time to get some jobs done.

This Summer has been super busy at Gleneden Ridge Farm. We've all been running around like proverbial headless chickens, with events on and off the farm.

A week on from the initial ground work for our new RV pad, we've pretty much finished it. Our 29' Laredo is now in place, and apart from a few supplies, is ready for our Airbnb guests. And the grass is starting to grow back where we excavated to bury our unsightly artesian well hose,…

Bengal and Lily; let the pony training begin!

Two weeks back we announced the arrival of our new rescue pony, in partnership with our friends at South Mymm's Farm. He's settling in nicely now, and gets on very well with Stella, our other new(ish) horse. So now the first elements of training can begin, so we can find out what he knows and…

The First Glimmers of Spring in Gleneden.

Finally, at last, it looks like Spring is on it's way! First, there were areas or snow melting around the trees, on our roofs, around the barns. Then appeared areas of brown earth and dead grass where once was snow. It seems that now the thaw is upon us! Once again, the ducks are making…
