Don't forget to order your bird! We are taking Thanksgiving orders through the Brick Farm Market/Farm Works website until (maybe partly through) the weekend as we get ready for the busiest days of the year on the farm: turkey harvest. Once again, all Thanksgiving orders will be picked up at the Brick farm … [Read more...]

PSA - order your heritage, pastured, Thanksgiving turkey! You may place orders on the Brick Farm market website HERE (or by clicking the image below). Again, we breed, hatch, and raise all of our birds on our farm. They are pastured in the fresh air and their foraged diet is supplemented with a non-GMO grain blend … [Read more...]

That's right, it's turkey time. All orders are taken at Brick Farm Market and ordering is LIVE.

Just waiting and watching for those first shoots of … [Read more...]

Happy New Year from the farm! We hope you had a restful holiday and family time. We are ready for this new year. We better be - lambing season has begun. We are thankful for the milder temps as the ewes are a lot more comfortable. Last year was frigid. It will be a wild several weeks, with about 300 babies … [Read more...]

Final preparations are being made for the holiday rush.  Hams are being smoked, beef are being processed and aged and another round of turkeys will be be slaughtered for the festivities.
