Stepping into Fall…And Thanksgiving
Too soon? Not for us! It is barreling toward November 27. Our favorite holiday – Thanksgiving – where we get together, enjoy each other, and cook up all the local goodness that we and our farm friends grow. NJ has so much to offer from now through November! So…of course …
Summer Days Winding Down
Oh the back-to-barnyard drama. It's been a full season of rotating fields, haying, grazing, and lazing. But fall brings a change of pace and new questions. Which Pyrenees will partner with which? Where will the turkeys wander to without their hall pass? Who's joined the WDNC club and is just …
Time To Cut Hay
***First – a PSA – we are now selling our meats, bacon, sausages and eggs at the Princeton Farmer's Market every Thursday until November. 9am-3pm. Come by and say hello to William! It's been a banner spring for rain and cooler temps. The result? Super tall grasses shooting up and …
Full Swing SPRING
The sheep have ‘left the building' and are finally out on the lush pasture. This group consists of the ewes and their lambs born late last fall (surprise!!) and in January. And they have another young'n with them…Samson the wonder puppy! Samson, Daisy, and Delilah are now at the Bayberry …
Springing forward
Well, the clocks have changed and all of us, including the animals, have a new lease on life. First, the puppies are about 25-30lbs. It will be a while before they are 100lbs – but they're getting there, Here's Daisy with Bob and Reba, seeing how she stacks up. Daisy …
Welcome 2025!
Well, that was a doozy. There were droughts, eclipses, drones, turkey breakouts, escaped dogs, and orphaned puppies. But we roll into 2025 with a renewed sense of purpose to serve our community and provide the highest quality, humanely raised meats around. **Please note, the market at Ottoburger will be reopening …
DBF Turkeys on TV!
We are getting all the pieces of the puzzle in place for the big Thanksgiving push. And of course, the stars of the culinary show have once again become the stars of morning TV…
October This and That

In The Summer Zone
Summer is so busy that it’s hard to keep on top of the cool and funny and just farmy things the animals are doing. Like hanging out in the shade. These pigs can barely container themselves. Despite it all, the turkeys have gone from this…. …to THIS in a matter …
Summer comin' in HOT
We have been muddling through these scorchers keeping the animals shaded and watered, and mostly, trying to get the hay up off the ground before it rains. Farm animals are not like us. They don't try to get a round of tennis in before it hits 95 – and they …
Sheep Are Finally On The Spring Grass
The day finally arrived! We prepared to let the flock loose on the spring grass for the first time this year. And out they went… The action was very much like a crowded escalator when one person stops at the bottom as the first sheep (literally) out of the gate …
