Last week we swapped out our lone single phase motor Busch pump at Faust road with a similar three phase version. The pump is almost identical to the ones at the other three properties. This will allow us to more easily hook up and run the new Datacer controls we’ve purchased for this property. The single phase pump will go into storage and act as our backup, if anything goes down mid-season we’ll have a replacement ready to connect at a moment’s notice.

Since we started renting our farmhouse we’ve had a porta-potty on the farm. Last month we finally installed a real bathroom in the attached garage. A friend of ours came over for a week to do the project, it turned out great! Checkout the progression below.

Checkout these short videos Lauren made while making candy, sugar, and bottling. We’ll add a fourth one for cream next time, she didn’t get the idea until right after making 2400 pounds of it.
