Im frequently reminded by my dear husband that when we got married in 1990 and I brought my little flock of fiber sheep to the family farm, they were supposed to be just for me, you know, to spin with and be pets. When the Nistock Farms dairy herd was dispersed in 2000, the sheep flock expanded to fill the void, becoming the main activity on the farm. The flock has evolved to nearly 100 ewes and rams (not counting lambs), and has taken over the former dairy barn.

The widely varied handspinning flock includes white, black and moorit crossbreds of Border Leicester, Romney, Finn, Rambouillet and CVM, and our wonderful purebred heritage breed, the Cotswold. In our flocks case, the wool is of primary importance as it is all sold to fiber artists.

The calendar year ends on December 31st but the flock and farm always has another task overlapping the previous one. Breeding season starts in late October and coincides with lambs from the previous spring being sold into other flocks, being registered as replacements in this flock or going into the freezer channel. Nistock Farms sells their lamb as USDA inspected, cryovac packaged cuts, both at the farm by appointment and at various festivals and functions.

The pelts from all freezer lambs are prepared at the farm after each batch of lambs is processed and then sent out for tanning. The resulting sheepskin is large, unique and machine washable.

Before lambing begins - 148 days (5 months) after breeding season started the bred ewes are vaccinated and shorn. Most fleeces are reserved by spinners before they are even off the sheep and they all need to be looked over, weighed and sent to the buyer. Lambing ends at the end of April and shortly thereafter the flock begins grazing, being rotated between pastures.

Vaccinations and deworming and weighing the lambs happens on schedule through the spring.

Ram lambs are weaned from the flock and moved to the ram barn across the road in early July.

Putting up dry hay starts in June and continues all summer along with other fieldwork for oats and corn, and cutting firewood for the winter.

Fleeces, yarn, prepared fibers, sheepskins, quilt batting, breeding stock, freezer lamb...this versatile flock provides many products for fiber artists locally and from afar.

Since 1990, sheep have grazed the rolling pastures of the Nistocks 530-acre farm located in the Finger Lakes region of Western New York.

He were a corker, that Abel. I mind the day he catched a rattler.

Now, Pa, dont start, Lizzie chided. Beside her Anna stifled a giggle, shushed by the look in her fathers eye.

Of the gaggle of young folks crouched over the heaps of cornstalks, only four were female. Nearly a dozen young bloods mingled with the girls, staking claim to a particular place on the oak logs edging the yard.

Seated on the other side of the circle a score of elders mostly men, a handful of women worked side by side, nattering the while, catching one another up on family news, gossiping over community goings-on. And at the top of everyones mind was the recent death of Abel Short.

Bent Brown was not a man to be deterred by a daughters rebuke. His hearers, he knew, appreciated his turn of phrase and the antics of the lately deceased provided him just the opportunity he was adept at exploiting.

Both hands worked in coordinated rhythm, the left grasping an ear of corn, the right bringing the corn hook to bear, and the husk was peeled back in one fluid motion; then a backward jerk of the left hand and the stripped ear was flung into the basket. All the while Bent was rattling on, nineteen to the dozen.

You take that horse-a his Ranger. Nattractive bay, a generous-size beast, that un. But tractable, tractable do anything Abeld put him to.

On the other side of the corn shuck pile, Lizzie whispered into Annas ear and the two girls slipped to the far end of the row; well they knew how their pa did go on.

A chorus of chuckles greeted Bents next offering, as most of those present could remember the time Abel deep in his cups brought Ranger into the house and up the stairs to his bed chamber. And in the morning there stood the bewildered horse, with his great lovely head thrust out the second story window. The gettin him down the stairs, Bent remembered, werent so easy as the gettin him up. Fer Abel was sober goin down!

Through all the chatter of colorful pranksters, of flooded fields, of sickening stock the pace never slackened, as each husker strove to fill his assigned basket. The talk among the older women ranged from the travail of childbed to the trials of ornery husbands. Remedies for catarrh and for boils were traded and kitchen tricks for stretching the contents of a winter-depleted pantry were shared.

At the young folks end whispers were hidden behind cupped hands, winks and knowing looks flew from eye to eye. Still, at a steady tempo they carried on; boys and girls in competition to fill the waiting baskets.

As a general thing the corn harvest commenced in early October. Up and down the corn rows a man walked, sickle swishing at the base of each stalk. A boy sometimes a woman followed in his wake, bundling three or four stalks, setting a triplet of bundles into a shock, until the field was a decorated mosaic of shaggy cones.

Twenty days or more it all depended how wet the weather the corn stood, drying. On the morning of the husking-bee, round the field went wagon and team with a small force of hands collecting all the stalks. These were brought into the yard and piled in great long heaps. After the mid-day dinner, arrived a score of neighbors prepared to work the afternoon away.

The farmers of Ontario County in the 1830s grew Indian corn what we

the husking bee: mid november, 1832

know as flint corn, for dent corn had not yet been developed. This variety produced an ear of kernels colored creamy white or sunshine yellow. Occasionally an ear of all red kernels was discovered. And all there knew what that portended. A verse common to the day suggested that if a man finds a red ear, a general kiss he gains, but when to some fair maid the prize is cast, she walks the round, and calls one favord beau upon which to grant her luscious tribute. The finding of a red ear was a celebrated event.

By unspoken custom the younger, unmarried men with a couple of the bolder girls among them grouped together on one side of the pile of cornstalks, while the older folks held their own, opposite. Most of the women and adolescent girls bypassed the yard, making straight for the kitchen, for here resided the heart of a working-bee.

Every shelf and counter was laden with the offerings of the housewife and the tributes of her visitors. The Mrs. chicken pie, crust golden and crisped with a sprinkle of meal, held place of honor at the head of the serving table, flanked fore and aft by a pot of sausages swimming in grease and an enormous ham carved into hearty slabs. Ranged below were dishes of pickled beets, boiled onions, applesauce, baked cabbage, stewed greens, and half-a-dozen varieties of bread.

They in the yard would keep at the work until the last cob was shorn and the baskets were emptied into the corn crib. Then as dusk deepened into dark, the evening meal was served and the talk did slacken.

Abel Short (1776-1832) was a pioneer and farmer in Richmond, Ontario County. The other characters are fictional composites. This account is based on collected reminisces on file at the office of the Richmond Historian.

Historic Palmyra offers five museums at one destination for your family fun and education. Mention the word FLIP and find out about flipforhistory.com. This is a great new way to interact with our museums through your i-phone or i-pad. Historic Palmyra is part of the flipforhistory.com app on the I love NY Haunted History Trail, Blue Star Museum program, Cultural Heritage Trail and the newly established Finger Lakes Museum Trail.

The Palmyra Historical Museum offers 23 rooms of history from Palmyra throughout the United States from the pioneer days to the era of the typewriter and first data card computer. Bring history to life in this spectacular museum complex also located along the Erie Canal. No matter what the history was, it is featured within these five museums.

The original, authentic Wm. Phelps General Store and home on the Erie Canal shares a step back in time with its products and containers. Come see the 74 year old eggs and smell the 100 year old oils. Its building history from 1826 covers 108 years of the Phelps family history. Time stands still in this unique building at 140 Market Street in Palmyra.

The Palmyra Print Shop and the Erie Canal Depot also share Palmyra history through printing and newspapers from 1820 to 1972. The old Tenant house, now the Erie Canal Depot, offers original canal items, lithographs, hand-hewed beams and a whiff of the mules that once were stabled in the basement stalls. The comments from all that visit are unbelievable, a treasure, and an experience to remember forever.

The Alling Coverlet Museum features the largest collection of American hand woven coverlets in the United States. It is named for Mrs. Merle Alling, a Rochester resident and coverlet collector, and is housed in a 1901 newspaper printing office. All styles of hand

Experience the late night life at the Wm. Phelps General Store and home as well as at the Palmyra Historical Museum for the other side of history. The unspoken, unseen, yet always very apparent are in every room. They will thrill you with a sudden whisper, foot step, or touch. Come experience the strange noises, apparitions, caught photographs, and chased ghostly cats only to find, nothing is there! Please call to reserve your ghost hunt. A six-hour hunt is usually held from 7:00 pm-1:00 am or 8:00 pm-2:00 am.

Crisp air, changing leaves and cozy knit sweaters signify the return of autumn. Fall can be a busy time for most families, juggling back-to-school routines, carpools, homework, after school events and sports practice. Now is a great time to slow down, bring the whole family together and enjoy all of the exciting activities fall has to offer. Here are a few fun ways to spend quality time with your family and relish in fall to the fullest:

Visit an apple orchard. This is a great way to make the most of the beautiful fall weather and do something active with the family. Use apples to make applesauce, a tasty tart or just slice them up for a great on-the-go snack. Try unique apple varieties youve never tried they all taste a bit different!

Go for a nature walk. With the vibrant, colorful leaves and cool, crisp air, autumn is a great time to get your family outdoors and learn more about nature in a local nature preserve or park. Pick up a few fall mementos along the way to integrate into crafts. For example, bring home some colorful leaves and decoupage them

onto the outside of a mason jar to create a seasonal fall candle holder, or create a lively fall-inspired canvas incorporating several different leaf shapes and colors.

Gear up for Halloween. Host a themed get-together by incorporating fun foods kids can help prepare and will love to eat! Use a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter to create cut-out cookies and involve them in decorating with everything from frosting to sprinkles.

Visit a local farmers market. Fall offers a whole new repertoire of amazing fresh fruits and vegetables. Encourage your kids to try new items like figs, acorn squash or cauliflower. If they find samples that they enjoy, purchase a few and find a way to incorporate them into your next meal.

Have a bonfire. As the weather cools down, bonfires are a great way to stay warm at night and make lasting family memories. Gather everyone together and reconnect by huddling around the fire in cozy blankets. Pour mugs of warm apple cider and munch on popcorn while swapping ghost stories over the glow of the fire. [BPT]
