We are getting all the pieces of the puzzle in place for the big push to Thanksgiving and we cannot wait to for our customers to enjoy the best pastured heritage turkeys on their tables. If you are still on the fence, ORDER SOON (orders will close next week)!

Turkeys on pasture at Double Brook Farm

**Please note – All Thanksgiving orders and pickups will be through the Brick Farm Butcher at Maria’s Market (the newly relocated market that sells all Double Brook Farm meats) which is located within the Ottoburger Building at 65 East Broad Street in Hopewell, NJ.

As is their routine, the turkeys have already been stars of the early morning circuit as Good Morning America came to film at the farm.

Things don’t always go as planned. There was a rainbow, even some rain drops, and then ‘the talent' all startled and flew up at once and got dust, dirt and feathers all over the equipment and the host, Trevor Ault. But the GMA crew were great sports! And the turkeys were flaunting their feathers with pride all morning long, basking in the attention.

We have a busy, physically demanding week ahead, but it is a great time of year for our team, with everybody (including some friends, neighbors and family members) pitching in to get it done.

In this busy wind up to get ready for Thanksgiving, the rest of the farm goes at a slower pace. Sheep graze in the sunshine…

And these sunrises remind us of the dry days we’ve been having as we head deeper into fall.

We so look forward to this annual time of food and family coinciding with the end of the harvest season!

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 ...

The Food You Want From The Farmer You Know

Whelp, we got the hay in and bedded down the animals. But this is going to be a loooooooong dig-out #blizzard2016
First lamb of the season! Born overnight during one of the coldest nights last week. She’s doing great. We haven’t named her yet any suggestions?
Looking for our delicious pastured meats this week? Come to the winter farmers market in Princeton this Thursday from 11 AM to 3 PM. Say hi to William at our tent and get all your provisions. Plus, there is a Valentine’s Bows & Bow Ties puppy pageant! Starting at 1 PM, you can dress up your pup in their Valentine’s Day finest and receive awards based on general cuteness. The Puppy Promenade for Halloween was hilarious and fantastic. Check out @princetonfarmersmarket for all the details
A lot of people ask how our animals are doing in this cold. While it is very frigid, the animals actually do much better in these temperatures than when it’s extremely hot. They have plenty of hay to burrow down in, and wind breaks and shelters. We check them at least twice a day to make sure their water is not frozen and that they are in good shape. Hopefully a couple more days of this deep freeze and then we can move into some balmy 20s and 30s #deepfreeze #farmlife #winterfarm #pasturedlamb #greatpyrenees #heritageturkeys
