Spring Farm Upgrades: Enhancing Life for Our Flock

March 1, 2024

Greetings from the Farm!

As we navigate through the twists and turns of rollercoaster weather, we're thrilled to share some exciting updates from the heart of our farm. With spring in full swing, we're diving headfirst into a series of farm improvement projects, each one aimed at enhancing the lives of our flock.

The Heart of the Farm: Our Chicken Brooder

First up on our list of upgrades is our chicken brooder barn. This humble structure plays a vital role in welcoming our day-old chicks to the farm, providing them with a safe and consistent environment to thrive. With fluctuating weather patterns posing a challenge for our young poultry, it's more important than ever to ensure they have a cozy space to call home during their formative weeks.

Investing in the Future

While farm improvements may come with their own set of challenges, we believe they're essential for the well-being of our animals and the sustainability of our operation. Despite the financial strain that often accompanies such projects, we knew it was time to take the leap and give our brooder barn the facelift it deserves.

Looking Ahead: Mobile Hoop Houses

But we're not stopping there! Our vision for a brighter future includes mobile hoop houses for our pastures, offering our birds more freedom and flexibility to roam and forage. With each step forward, we're making chores a little easier and creating a win-win situation for both our feathered friends and our dedicated team.

Join Us on the Journey

We're excited to share our progress with you every step of the way! Keep an eye out for videos, pictures, and updates as we embark on these transformative projects this spring. Your interest and support mean the world to us, and we're incredibly grateful for the opportunity to connect with you and share the story behind the food that nourishes us all.

Thank you for being a part of our farm family!

A Breath of Fresh Air

At the change of each season, our weeks feel a bit fuller at the farm. As we prepare for cooler weather, close out outdoor market seasons, and gear up for winter meat drops, our incredible team keeps everything running smoothly. We’re grateful for the wonderful people we work with, making these busy times feel rewarding as we embrace the rhythms of farm life together.

Connecting with You, Wherever You Are

We value the deep connections we make with our customers, whether it’s in person or online. We're committed to providing an alternative to the commercial food industry, offering pasture-raised meats that are both nutritious and responsibly-raised. In response to the growing demand for convenience, we’ve introduced home shipping.

The Future is Cooperative

October is National Co-op Month, a celebration cooperatives (organizations owned and operated by their members) that shape the future of food and farming. This year’s theme, “The Future is Cooperative,” highlights how co-ops are more than just stores or buying clubs—they are community-powered organizations that foster local connections, prioritize education, and promote sustainable food systems. By working together, food co-ops help bridge the gap between farmers and consumers, ensuring that local, ethical food remains at the heart of small communities.
