We hope that you are all well and taking the necessary precautions as we move through this very unique and stressful time. Things on the farm are progressing as usual, as we have high demand at the Brick Farm Market for staples such as meats, eggs and milk. We are determined to keep our shelves stocked with foods that have touched very few (sanitized!) hands and is healthy, local and delicious. **The Brick Farm Market is offering CURB-SIDE PICKUP and FREE NEXT DAY DELIVERY during this time.

As you can imagine, the animals are unaware of social distancing. These Pyrenees pups can't get close enough. (Had to include – everyone needs to see puppies right now. And, yes, they are for sale!).

The pigs are always traveling in packs, curious and timid at the same time.

And these 2 goats are always together. They happen to be bottle fed, so they are constantly underfoot, jumping up, butting you with their growing horns and making a huge racket. They won't stop until you have fed and played with them, and even then…

They'll escort you to the fence.

There's always a few stand-offish sows. They probably have the right idea.

As for now, we are here for our community and hope that this crisis ends soon for all of our friends, family and employees. Even though we must keep our distance and walk alone, we're all in this together.
