Back in the day, when our farm first opened, our story book trail featured a story about Stinker the Goat that was written by Julie. She’s recently taken the story, made some updates, added new artwork — and it is now available on Amazon!

“Stinker’s Big City Adventure” is a book about a little goat that wants to explore the city. Kids will love the bright pictures, the rhymes, and playing along with Stinker’s imagintion!

We hope you enjoy it, as well as Julie’s other book, “Fall on the Farm.”

This a facade that Bryan recently built for Kackleberry Farms in Michigan. It’s hard to see them in the picture, but it was built to provide a spot for a skeleton band to stage their performances. 💀🎃

If you've had a chance to purchase a copy of "Fall on the Farm," Julie Boeckmann's children's book about a day in the life of Farmer Bryan, please do her a favor and leave a review (hopefully a good one!) on Amazon!

If you haven't purchased it - now's the time! It's a great book to share with your kids or students as you visit those pumpkin patches this fall!

For those of you who remember our pumpkin patch and farm, you may also remember the storybook trail you could hike while you were there.

During the last few years that we were open, our trail featured the book “Spookley the Square Pumpkin.” But before Spookley, the trail featured a story called “Fall on the Farm,” written by Julie Boeckmann.

Well… “Fall on the Farm” is now available on Amazon!

With fun new illustrations, you can now share the story with your kids, grandkids, or anyone who is still a kid at heart — like Farmer Bryan, who inspired the story in the first place.

It’s been so much fun bringing a little piece of the farm back to life in book form, and I hope it brings back some good memories for those of you who visited us over the years.

Bryan recently built a floating duck house for a customer. The customer is currently putting her ducks through “Duck Boot Camp” to make sure they know that the little green house is their home before sending it out to the middle of their pond.

We appreciate the business!

Things have changed so much for us over the past year. First, as most of you know, we sold our place in Westphalia and moved to our beautiful new farm in Gasconade County. Bryan had to get his shop set up so he could start working on projects again. Once he got his shop ready, (and completed about 1,000 other projects that he wanted to do here) he started building again.

First out the door is this Coleman Coop that he built for a returning customer. You can learn more about all the features of the Coleman Coop - and all of our coops - on our website: WestphaliaTradingCo.com

A complete update about our past year will be coming soon - just know that even though we’re no longer in Westphalia, the outstanding quality of our products remains the same!

What have we been up to? Well,in addition to having a couple of coops that he’s working on currently, Bryan has built some beautiful wooden pieces that we currently have for sale at the Old School Antiques Mall Flea Market in Linn! Stop in to check them out! We also have a variety of antique dishes, knick knacks, kitchen items, and punch art projects made by Erin Koerner in our booth.

Old School is open from 9 AM - 6 PM Wednesdays - Saturdays and 10 AM - 4 PM on Sundays.

Update: SOLD!

Those little chicks will soon be appearing in your local stores! Don’t buy them until you have a place to put them - they grow up fast! But we have good news - this brand new adorable double-decker loft coop is now $1000. This coop is designed to hold 5-6 chickens and is perfect for your backyard! (It also would work for rabbits!)

There is a trap door in the floor with a ramp that allows chickens to go down below and stretch but still protects them from your neighbor’s dog! At night, they go into their shelter, and you can make sure they stay safe by closing the guillotine door with a pulley from the outside.

There are a couple of nest boxes inside the shelter as well so that you can easily collect the eggs!

Delivery is available, or you can pick it up yourself!

Those of you who have been following us for a while will remember the old western style buildings that we built for an agritainment farm in southern California. This past week the owner finally sent us just a few pictures of how they turned out with the rest of the decorations on them and in them. This is the Saloon and the Sheriff’s office. When he sends us more pictures, we’ll be sure to share them!
