Still no news from our chicken processor this week. We are waiting to see what will happen with our Chicken harvest date for the middle of next week. hopefully, we will have plenty of fresh birds and cut ups for you. The cut up part is so labor intensive that we might not get as many as we would like, usually several hundred. The labor strike at the chicken plant that began a few weeks ago is the reason that we don't have any breasts available right now.....we only got half the cut ups we normally do. But pork is coming back into stock...so stay tuned as we navigate this interesting year.

Farm Happenings for August 18, 2020
About the farm
We are a seventh generation family farm, raising certified organic vegetables for CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) and Farmers Markets. We also raise pastured chicken, 100% grassfed beef and offer pastured pork. We raise food with the intention of taking care of the land: growing healthy soil, healthy plants, healthy animals, and healthy people. Since we are a seventh generation family farm, caring for the land and soil for our children and the next seven generations is at the forefront of our farming practices. We nourish the soil with compost from our farm, and other natural ways to bring nutrients and minerals back to the land to improve the health of the soil, land and crops. We work to maintain a balanced, healthy soil to help grow healthy plants and food. We see our farm as part of a larger community-- a network of people who are interdependent with each other. We grow healthy food for our family, friends and community.
