The summer solstice has come and gone and I am looking forward to the days getting shorter. We had some very hot weather this week with highs in the upper 90s and lots of humidity. For some places this is just summer weather, but we are used to cooler temperatures and the abrupt rise inContinue reading “Comings and Goings”

June is crazy, that seems to be the mantra these days. Like any good mantra the meaning continues to unfold and evolve as we say it and embody it. I am remembering that crazy is also fun, silly, and playful. I took this crazy, fun and playful juneness to the kitchen this week and beganContinue reading ” Chicken Sausage Starts in the Kitchen”

Our Spring Chicken Sale ends at 9am on Monday morning. As we mentioned on Friday, we will also be adjusting our chicken prices to keep up with rising costs on our end. Now is a great time to fill your freezer at a great price. The sprint of spring continues, and we processed our firstContinue reading “Must be June: Chicken Sale Ending & No Water”

Spring certainly feels like it has sprung on the farm. I’m excited to announce our first annual Spring Chicken Sale.

Year after year we strive to learn what the land and our farm have to teach us. In our first years I was determined to grow grain and mill flour using only draft horses. With a north sloping, rocky farm we learned that our fields were not well suited to crops. As we listened andContinue reading “How We Raise Pigs”

Last week we prepared the brooder for the arrival of our first batch of chicks for the season. The arrival of the first batch of baby chicks is always a sign of early spring.  The organizational test of finding all the stowed parts, equipment and miscellaneous things we need to make it all run smoothlyContinue reading “Hog Harvest Sale & Piglets”

Before I tell the story about our April snow storm and the arrival of our first batch of chicks, and subsequent power outage, I want to announce our first annual Hog Harvest Sale during the month of April. If you’ve never tried our pork, this is a great way to try some of our popularContinue reading “The Power of Electricity”
