4Th of July

Hello everyone!  An update on things here at the Seymour House.  The baby chicks are doing fine and all are still with us.  Daisy Duck had been sitting on some of her eggs but she did not turn out to be a very good mother as she abandoned the eggs after two full weeks of sitting on them and they have gone cold.  Oh well, we will try again next year.  The flowers are blooming nicely and the weather forecast is predicting a much drier summer for the rest of it.  Patty is starting to succeed in teaching Mike how to make bread!  He made a wonderful artesanal white bread yesterday all on his lonesome!  The tractor is having a few difficulties but otherwise running well (if anyone knows what the torque is for the head on a 1954 Farmall cub we could sure use it!).  Reservations have been coming in like crazy and we look forward to seeing all of you soon.  Have a safe and happy 4th of July weekend and will talk to you later!

Baby Chicks are here!

Sorry I haven't updated everyone in a couple of weeks but it has been wonderfully hectic!  The baby chicks arrived yesterday and I was worried about a couple of them, it didn't look like they were going to make it but as it turns out they were simply exhausted from a couple of days traveling through the US postal service and just needed a drink, some food and a good nights sleep and they were fine this morning!  We received several varieties of laying hens, 5 Black Austalorps, 6 Buff Minorcas, 5 White Wyandottes 25 Cornish Rock for the table and one free exotic a White Crested Black Polish chick.  Not sure if hte exotic is a hen or a rooster but should be able to find out in a few weeks.  Will keep you up to date on how the chicks are doing.  All for now, talk to all of you soon.

New/Old Tractor

Well, we did it!  We bought a 1954 Farmall McCormick Cub tractor!  The smallest actual farm tractor ever made by International!  It has a four cylinder engine, a 50" mower deck, a front snow blade, hydraulic lift and several other features!  Mike is all excited!  You have to see this baby to believe it!

Memorial day weekend is coming up and we still have some rooms available so give us a call and make your reservation now.  We also have one room left for the Saugatuck waterfront film festival which is June 9 - 12 so don't delay and miss out on a great time!

Spring Chickens

Hello all, we hope everyone is doing well and enjoying this fine spring weather!  Mike is in the process of cleaning up the yard for the summer and getting all of the outdoor furniture and statuary back in place and Patty is busy in the kitchen making some more bread! 

We just placed an order for some baby chickens!  They are always cute little fella's when they are newly hatched!  Some of our hens are now getting past their egg producing years and need to be replaced with younger chickens.  We have ordered 5 Buff Minorca's, 5 white Wyandotte's and 5 Black Australorp's.  The Buff Minorca's are a buff golden color and lay white eggs, the White Wyandotte's are a pure white heavy hen and they lay brown eggs, the Black Australorp's are pure black and lay brown eggs as well.  The chicks are scheduled to arrive between Sunday June 12 and Wednesday June 15 so if you would like to see them in the very early stages we still have rooms available for the weekend of June 17.  The chickens should start laying eggs when they are between 18 and 26 weeks old, quite a window!

The Holland Tulip festival is underway right now and we are running a special through Saturday, May 14 of wine and chocolates in your room for a two night stay, so give us a call and enjoy the Tulip festival.  We still have some rooms for Memorial Day so don't miss out on a beautiful time of year.  That is all for now, talk to you all later.

Seymour House Blog

Hello all!  Well, spring is here!  The daffodils and forsythia are blooming, the birds are singing and things are going great!  We had a very good maple syrup season this year collecting 700 gallons of sap and yielding 19 gallons of syrup!  Next year we are thinking of offering a maple syrup class on how to tap the trees and collect the sap followed by a trip to the sugar shack where the syrup is boiled down over a wood fire.  Keep an eye this page and on our packages page for this special which will take place around the middle of next February.  All for now, talk to you soon.
