Turkey week.
Good ol’ turkey week.
We raise, harvest, sort and invoice for these birds once a year.
The shift from farmers market madness to meat drop mode seems sudden, yet we are prepared.
The office is full of paperwork from one table to the next.
Fingers are hitting keyboards, creating a white noise into nightfall.
We are eager to serve every customer.
Our hearts are as full as our minds.
It’s turkey week.
We are grateful.
Raising turkeys was not something we always planned on, but once we learned how to raise chickens alongside our pigs and cattle, it made sense. Turkeys fit naturally into our pasture system, bringing their own unique benefits to the land while keeping us on our toes with plenty of challenges. What started as an experiment has become one of the most rewarding and humbling parts of our farm.
National Farmers Market Week is here, and we’re celebrating 25 years of connecting with you through the markets! Over the years, our weekends have been spent traveling early mornings, meeting new friends, and sharing our farm’s story. Those markets have shaped our farm, our practices, and our community in ways we never expected. Join us as we celebrate this special week and the relationships that make it all possible.
Every summer, when the corn gets tall and the heat settles in, we’re reminded of just how much this season means to us. Before the first ear is picked or the signs go up by the roadside, the memories start coming back. Radios playing, quarters clinking, long days at the farmstand. This is a look back and a celebration of how sweet corn season still brings us home.
