Running Afowl at the Farm
So there was tremendous barking at the front door. The kind of bark that sounds furious and frustrated all at the same time. As I rushed to the front door, I figured out why. The turkeys were teasing Sarge. Just playing with him. Dancing around on the walkway, and then …
Summer Weather Finally Here
Well it’s time to put away the cardigans and long-sleeved shirts. It’s smoking hot out there. The moment has come to find a hammock and just let the days pass you by. Taylor and the pasture crew have moved animals to shade. I like the steer in the creek in …
Foraging on the Farm
Tama Matsuoka Wong, author of Foraged Flavor: Finding Fabulous Ingredients in Your Backyard or Farmer’s Market, was a star guest here at Double Brook Farm today. Along with Tama, Jon, Andrew, Charlton, Stephanie and I foraged all through the weeds looking for edibles to add to salads and drinks, to …
Pigs up at Schwinn’s
This year, Orlando gets to move the pigs up to the Schwinn’s pastures where they will luxuriate in all the tall grasses, open meadows and shaded tree groves. They love it. Sometimes, as Cat was explaining, they get so nestled in that they don’t want to make the daily migration …
Double Brook Farm in the News
This past Sunday, The Times of Trenton was nice enough to feature our farm on the cover of their Business Section. Lots of great pictures of Jon with the chicks and poults! ‘Chick magnet’ really does have a better, cooler ring to it than ‘poult magnet’ Photograph Mary Iuvone for …
Pictures From the Fields
(Photo by Kayla Severino) Kayla and Cat have been sending the best pictures from out and about. There are animals at the Martin Tract, at Coventry Farm and at St. Michaels Preserve (to name a few places). Above is the FIRST calf to be born this year. Not sure how …
Middle School Science Fair Lamb Project
Any time you can find a way to bring a cute, furry animal to school, it’s going to be a hit. Photo by Karin Belgrave So, our son created his science fair project entirely around bringing ‘Smalls’ to school. Smalls (as you may have guessed, she’s our littlest lamb) is …
Shiitake Mushroom Innoculation
Did you ever wonder how mushrooms are produced by growers? If you’re not foraging for them and want to have a steady supply of mushrooms, it takes some doing. Andrew and the vegetable crew were busy this week doing just that: innoculating logs with shiitake mushroom spores to secure future …
Great Time Had by All at Hopewell Cruise Night
Wow. We flung open the doors (and the garage bay) and just let it happen. People got to see what we’ve been working on for 3 years and I think they liked it! I know the farmers and Andy (our long-suffering GC) had a good time… And they really got …

Cinco De Mayo Fiesta at the Farm
To prepare for the upcoming opening of the market and all the intense work that will entail, we decided to have a party Sunday to celebrate farmers, the market staff and their families. Dubbed ‘The First Annual Jerry Baker Invitational’ for the varsity-caliber soccer that was played, we had a …
Orphan Lamb in the House
The kids have really taken to Jenny, one of the Katadhin lambs that was rejected by her mother. Following is a pictorial update on how she’s doing. I think you’ll see that she is being well- fed (or perhaps I should say ‘often-fed’ or maybe even ‘over-fed’). Check out her …
