Farm friend

One of our three calves, isn't he cute! Furry for winter, uh-oh.

Hi Jennifer and Dean,David, Alexi and I stayed at Small Graces over Labor Day Weekend and had a wonderful time. We did not have the opportunity to sign your guest book (with 15 month old Alexi keeping us on our toes!), so we just wanted to send you a short email expressing how much we enjoyed our stay. We have stayed at other B&Bs in the area, though what made this experience unique was having an entire cottage to ourselves and a homecooked breakfast carried to our cottage each morning. And speaking of breakfast...they were absolutely delicious! We are vegetarian, and we were well fed each morning with meals prepared with homegrown ingredients that were so scrumptuous...our mouths still water when we think about breakfast at Small Graces. We loved the tour of the farm and seeing all of the animals. Your B&B is the ideal location, close to the Ithaca Farmer's Market, Ithaca College and Cornell University, as well as Lake Cayuga. We had such a wonderful trip and your B&B was one of the biggest factors.Happy Autumn!

Neighbors

Goosey Looosey

This is one of your closest neighbors, whenever you come to visit. There are a few cows, too, but they stay to themselves pretty well. This little goose only hangs out in the early morning, then she takes a walk around the property. There is a little duck, named puddle, who hangs out most of the day in this part of the stream.

Call now!

The phone has been ringing here for reservations! Don't miss out on the dates we have left this year! We would really miss having you.

Sheepish

Here we are at the local 4h fair. This is Badger the Shetland ewe, about to go in the ring. Even thought she looks like a doll, and is really very miniature as far as sheep go, she WAS not being cute at the moment, and had just pushed me into the door you see behind me in the photo.
So, you see my sweet little girl giggling at her momma, and me thinking that we needed one less sheep on our farm!!! (Just kidding, Badger is already cozy back in her pasture.)

Shetland sheep are listed as a Conservation breed. We have 4 conservation, or rare sheep breeds on our farm. We raise two of those breeds, Jacob and Hog Island.

Breakfast is beautiful

Ithaca Farmers Market

Poppies from the Ithaca Farmer's Market, at the Dewitt Park, on Tuesday. The Saturday market is at Steamboat Landing on Cayuga Lake inlet, and is much bigger. Tuesday we were treated to Thai for lunch with Carob cake from Macro Mommas for dessert. All the while--- live music, people chit-chat, children running, climbing trees. We went home with more potted herbs for the garden. I paid top dollar for the herbs, but they are also the best I have seen.
