New Partnership with HHH
What is HHH, you might ask? That's Hunters Helping the Hungry, an amazing program that connects NJ hunters, who have extra bagged deer, and food banks looking to provide healthy protein to the people they serve. Through a grant with the NJ Dept. of Agriculture, hunters can donate the deer …
It's Turkey Time!
First, a PSA – we will be at the Hopewell Harvest Fair TODAY (Saturday, September 19) if you would like to ask us questions in person about our turkeys or our products. Plus, we will be selling all of our delicious meats, sausages, bacon – and even some swag – …
Hopewell Harvest Fair & turkeys
First things first. We will be at the Hopewell Harvest Fair this Saturday, September 19 (rain date October 3) located at the Hopewell Elementary School. The hours are 9:45am-4:00pm. It is a great day of family fun with food, music, crafts, and a million things for kids and adults to …
Summer Close Out
And you know what that means…it's getting to be that time to order your heritage turkey. And yet, there are still the last little bits of summer to play and have fun. We hope you had a nice Labor Day Weekend. We were busy getting turkeys deeper into the ragweed …
Turkey Teaser and Summer Stuff
This year we are doing things a little differently for Thanksgiving turkeys. In addition to various vendors, our heritage turkeys will be sold and picked up directly from our farm – and the orders will go through our website. Pickup will be at our 37 Bayberry Road location and customers …
Out Into The Wild
Several days ago, we brought the whole turkey population out into the tall grass for the first time. They will be on this pasture until Thanksgiving. The move outside never disappoints. The chirping, feather ruffling, mud baths, and explorations go on all day. When the turkeys first go out, they …
Something Cool Is Happening at the Farm
Double Brook Farm is serving as a testing ground for an exciting new technology that has already added comfort for our animals: cooling panels that can be plugged in anywhere. The pigs are wild for them! The technology, called Clearly Cool, was developed through a partnership with AIL Research, Inc. …
Busy Farmers and Farm Markets
We are deep into our stretch of turkey hatching right now in preparation for Thanksgiving. A farmer starts the season many many months (sometimes a year) in advance. We have turkeys of every stage…and personality. The newly hatched poult – very curious and chatty. These guys are a day old! …
It's All Happening
Now that we've turned the corner on the harshest of conditions, the cycle begins again. We will start raising chicks into broilers in about week (you're welcome, Hopewell Post Office!), and the egg-laying hens and their guardian dogs will soon go back out to pasture from their winter enclosure. Preparations …
Waiting out the freeze
It's been cold. Real cold. The kind of cold that has texture and sticks to you when you come inside. Alternatively, the kind of cold that lets you know if dental work is imminent. The kind of cold…well, you know how cold it's been. We have seen some intense weeks …
Ready for 2026
Happy Holidays to everyone! Even though our nuclear family was far and wide, we had a whole flock of friends and extended family here to celebrate the season. Quiet and fun. Fun enough that the cleanse is actually starting BEFORE Jan 1. It's an emergency. We are getting ready for …
Thanksgiving ordering in high gear
Happy Halloween! We were huddled indoors much of yesterday (much needed blustery, rainy day) drinking pumpkin spice coffee and making soup. But our team is back at it with the sun reportedly coming out and the wind drying everything up. The turkeys are coming along…generally terrorizing our neighbors, their guardian …
