Turkeys On The Farm

posted on

October 13, 2024

Some of our best family moments on the farm are spent caring for the turkeys. We chase and gather any birds that perched and wandered overnight, and chat with them to amuse ourselves with the flock’s response to whatever noise we come up with that day. These beautiful birds are spreading natural fertilizer on the soil, contributing to a vibrant farm ecosystem, and providing nourishment for all of us in the late Fall.

Farm & Craft Sausage Series

We’ve been working on something new that brings our farm together with a few local makers we trust. It started as a small idea that grew through conversations and shared values, and now it’s ready.
