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!

Comfort Foods Meat Guide

To round out this wonderful winter, we wanted to share some tips and tricks for enjoying all of the best comfort meats on the farm. To choose a favorite cut on this list is almost impossible, but I’d have to say the family favorite is the boneless pork shoulder roast. When cooked low & slow, you can enjoy the perfect pork roast paired with veggies, make a flavorful gravy, or use for sandwiches & tacos too.

A Word to Remember

Every year, I choose a word to champion the next year on the farm. This farm blog shares insight into my word for 2024, and introduces the new word to remember for 2025.

A Year to Review

To recap a whole year into one short blog feels like a lot of pressure. I am bound to miss some of the best moments of the year, while ignoring some of the hard challenges tackled. At the same time, life on the farm can feel incredibly similar one day to the next when living outside of the moments. But I do understand my worst attempt will be better than nothing, so here it goes.
