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!

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 ...

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
