So many eggs...

How’s your New Year going? Are the resolutions, and intentions holding strong? Two weeks in, and I am happy to say that I have been cooking more often - even when I have no creative or energetic spark left in me towards the end of daylight. We’ve enjoyed many conversations as a family over casseroles, roasted chicken-on-the-bone (as my kids like to call it) sloppy joes, and fresh salads.

The one big-hitter from the past few days was a breakfast casserole. We all ended up eating it sporadically throughout our busy week for a snack, or dinner. I don’t know if anyone actually ate it for breakfast - but it kept us well fueled for 2-3 days!

Our farm has an excess supply of eggs currently, so incorporating more into our diet is fitting, and health conscious. Eggs provide many needed nutrients, and are easy to consume consistently.

Why do we have so many eggs? During the farmers market season (May-October) our egg sales are booming, many times outweighing the production rate of our hens. However, once the demand settles as the snow falls - our hens keep laying those beautiful eggs.

To help boost demand during the cold months, we’ve ran a pop-up egg sale at the farm, and are now offering a Buy 5, Save $5 egg sale for our monthly meat drop customers. Make sure to snag yourself a good deal - and give this hearty, simple egg casserole a try!

When Life Gives You Turkey...

We are picking up our latest creation from the farm’s bounty today. Real nourishing bone broth made from our pastured turkeys. This broth is made by simmering turkey backs and turkey feet with a medley of local vegetables. We are left with turkey backs after breaking down the whole carcass into pieces like wings, legs, breasts, and thighs. Our farm relies on utilizing the whole animal in order to maintain sustainability. Turkey backs and feet are generally used to create healthy bone broths, or can also be used to fuel a raw dogfood diet. The strong hands that crafted this broth are from our friends and long-time wholesale partners at Sauce and Bread Kitchen. Why bone broth? Not all broth is created the same, and it starts with what goes into the pot. When you simmer bones slowly over time, especially joints, feet, and connective tissue, you begin to draw out the deeper nutrients that aren’t found in a quick stock. Collagen, gelatin, minerals; the kind of nourishment that comes from using the whole animal, the way it was traditionally done. You’ll notice the difference right away. A true bone broth has body to it. When chilled, it gels. That’s a sign of the natural collagen that supports joints, skin, and overall recovery, especially this time of year as we come out of winter. But just as important as how it’s made is where it comes from. Our turkeys are raised outdoors, on pasture, moving, foraging, living the way they’re meant to. That life translates into stronger bones, healthier fat composition, and ultimately a broth that carries more depth; both in flavor and in nourishment. Compare that to most grocery store broths, where the source is often unknown, the cooking process is shortened, and the final product is diluted to hit a price point. It serves a purpose, but it’s not the same. This is slower. More intentional. Made from animals you know, raised on a farm you trust. Something you can sip on its own, or use as a base to bring real flavor and nourishment into your meals.

When Spring Hits Hard On The Farm🌱

Spring doesn’t ease in around here, it shows up all at once. What looks like a simple change in season is actually a full reset on the farm. There’s work waiting in every direction, new life showing up, and a few surprises we didn’t plan for. We wrote a bit about what this past month has really looked like behind the scenes. If you’ve ever wondered what spring actually feels like on a working farm, this one’s worth a read.

Spring Turkey Update?

Once a year, we process our pasture-raised turkeys into a limited batch of ground turkey. The birds are raised outdoors with room to forage, which leads to better nutrition and flavor. This is a seasonal product, available only while it lasts, and it’s packaged and frozen to hold quality long term. If you’re looking to stock up on a reliable, high-quality staple, now is the time.
