Deer seem to be rather prolific around Blessed Acres Farm. We routinely see them in the pasture near dusk. And we recently spotted two young deer nibbling from one of the apples trees in our yard in the middle of the afternoon, not 100 feet from our house!

Despite putting up an electric fence around the garden, yesterday we found some deer tracks among our beans and corn, too. The cup-half-full in me says we’re just farming deer, too. But I know that come hunting season, these deer will suddenly gain enough sense to disappear for a few months.
