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 …
Happy New Year and Double Brook in Print!
We hope you all had a great holiday. Personally, we are ready to clean up and clean out. Tree? Gone. Swag? Gone. Candy? Long gone. You may be wondering where to get all of our delicious, premium meats after all the big changes and our relocation. Well, look no further …
Last Call for Turkeys, Double Brook Farm in the News, and Farmer Gratitude Summit
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 …
A Month Out From Thanksgiving, Big News, and a Visit from GMA
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 …
What Time Is It? Time To Order Your Turkey Of Course!
That's right, it's turkey time. All orders are taken at Brick Farm Market and ordering is LIVE. But here at Double Brook Farm, we think about turkeys from the darkest days of February straight through the Holiday Week. It's not all glamour shots in mid-November. We start to hatch out …
Beating the Heat and Getting Ready for Fall
These are some sticky days, but with a little planning we are all in good shape. The cows are forever at the watering hole (and breaking the water delivery systems with annoying frequency, but that's another story). Most of the animals are along a tree line with shade, or in …
Summer Styles on the Farm
After a slightly cool spring, we are deep in the heat of summer. The animals have loved the rain and all the lush grasses that it brought. But the heat and those dire, smoky days??? Not so much. The sheep are prone to respiratory ailments and they did suffer in …
First Day of Spring
It's time to break out. All the animals have been rather placid and sedentary through the winter months. They eat hay that is delivered to a central location, so there is no real need to rotate pastures (though they have ample room to roam). And they are ready. Just waiting …
Lambs Everywhere
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. …
Gearing up for Old St. Nick
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. But after the craziness of Thanksgiving, this is a much slower roll. We love this time of year because …
