Winter Work On The Farm

posted on

February 8, 2024

During the colder months, we make preparations for Spring projects on the farm.  This year we will be expanding our acres of woodlands and pastures for our animals. With mild winters, the animal's impact on the ground is heavier without a good freeze.  We need to give our animals more room to roam to allow more time for the rest of their current access.  As the woods and pastures rest, the soil works its magic regenerating new life to welcome more activity and natural fertilization in the future.

Let's talk Turkey!

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

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.

Sweet Corn Season

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.
