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.

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.

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.
