What the chickens actually cost
The month’s most-read piece was the least romantic and the most useful: what our chickens cost us every week — R360. Feed, bedding and the honest maths behind a basket of eggs that is not free.
The sound of the place
We also published something people asked for repeatedly: ten hours of real farm hens clucking, no music. Recorded here, unedited, because that is what the farm sounds like.
The pack
The dogs carried the short-form all month — including guard dogs versus the wind, which is exactly as serious as it sounds.
