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!

The Meat Shed: Always Evolving

The Meat Shed means a lot to us, it’s a present picture of where we started, capturing our humble beginnings. A dream, a farm, and a small shed; helping us feed our neighbors, trusting one another, and building connections one day at a time.

Winter Work On The Farm

During the colder months, we make preparations for Spring projects on the farm.  This year we will be expanding our acres of woodlands and pastures for our animals. With mild winters, the animal's impact on the ground is heavier without a good freeze.  We need to give our animals more room to roam to allow more time for the rest of their current access.  As the woods and pastures rest, the soil works its magic regenerating new life to welcome more activity and natural fertilization in the future.
