Full Swing SPRING

Sheep on pasture
Sheep on spring pasture

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 location and have started working with their partners and animals groups. Daisy is with Stanley and the rams, and basically driving Stanley bananas. Delilah is with the chickens – and Torg – and seems to be rolling with this new assignment.

The chickens seems unconcerned about a new dog in their midst.

And they are laying on the regular now that it's warm.

Swing by Maria's Market at Hopewell Fare (65 East Broad Street in Hopewell) to pick up our eggs and meat and other goodies.

Speaking of chickens – the broilers are now on pasture. The chicken wagons get moved every day so the birds have access to fresh grass, seeds and bugs. Chomp.

We hope you had a great Mother's Day weekend. Us farmers were in the Rockies, graduating our youngest from college. A milestone for sure. And we are truly staring straight down the barrel of the 'empty nest'. We couldn't be happier – for them and for us!

Come find our goods at Maria's Market, or get your animal share or large order with us directly. Instructions on our website HERE. In the meantime, make like a turtle and get outside!

Busy Farmers and Farm Markets

We are deep into our stretch of turkey hatching right now in preparation for Thanksgiving. A farmer starts the season many many months (sometimes a year) in advance. We have turkeys of every stage…and personality. The newly hatched poult – very curious and chatty. These guys are a day old! ...

It’s All Happening

Now that we've turned the corner on the harshest of conditions, the cycle begins again.

Preparations ...

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 ...
