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.
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.
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.
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.
