HOW OUR FARM WAS NAMED

We're named Morning Owl Farm because soon after Mary moved to this land, she found an adolescent, female Great Horned Owl had also taken up residency. Since the bird seemed lethargic, not much moving for several days, Mary assumed the owl was sick. But those who knew more about owls said she was simply staking out her territory after having been sent into adulthood by her parents. The lazy owl eventually grew quite active and gained the name, L'uccello (meaning the bird in Italian). Some eleven years later, Lu remains at Morning Owl Farm. How do we know it's Lu? Lu, like all owls, has her own distinctive markings and voice. Lu has pointed ears and a white bib on her chest. She also has a deep and familiar call. Five low, slow, soulful hoots somewhere in the range of Mahalia Jackson in her later years. Stunning.

So, that explains the owl part, but why morning? Some are night owls, others aren't. Mary is a morning owl, and it's then that she gets to visit with Lu, who can be spotted most mornings just outside our door, except when she's on her nest. Every morning when Mary sees Lu, she whispers, "Good morning, Owl." Lu just blinks and looks away, but it feels like she agrees mornings are best.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 WHERE DO OWLS EAT?
Located at the base of the East Boise Foothills & overlooking the Boise River, our family farm grows food that's good for our earth and for our eaters. Our address is  7020 Pet Haven Lane, just .7 of a mile shy (Boise-side) of the intersection of Warm Springs Avenue and Highway 21. It's a lovely ride; bring a friend!
