Don't forget to order your bird!

We are taking Thanksgiving orders through the Brick Farm Market/Farm Works website until (maybe partly through) the weekend as we get ready for the busiest days of the year on the farm: turkey harvest.

Once again, all Thanksgiving orders will be picked up at the Brick farm Market at 65 East Broad Street. Many items will be grab and go (plus extras of sides and turkeys for walk-in, last-minute panic shopping) such as baked goods, sausages, sides, gravy and more. We can't wait to see you there. Thanksgiving is our favorite holiday! Subliminal message: Bring Bags, Bring Bags, Bring Bags…. 

As we prep for the weekend, the birds are in more demand than ever. Les Trent came back to the farm this year for Inside Edition. The birds seemed happy to see him as he interviewed Jon for his piece. Look for the piece tonight (11/14).

In other event news. Jon will be a guest speaker (1:30pm, Nov. 21) at the Farmer Gratitude Summit November 20-22. See HIS PROFILE and a video of when he was still working in NYC here. A life time ago! The event will be available virtually and there is an excellent lineup of ‘stars' in the farming world. What better way to kick off the Thanksgiving week??!

Hope you can tune in!

We love the bustle of Thanksgiving and the all-hands-on-deck vibe, but are looking forward to getting back to our regularly scheduled programming with the other animals. Next week, the brood hens and some toms will head to pasture to create next year's turkeys and the sheep will be coming into the barn to lamb. The cycle never ends.

Out Into The Wild

Several days ago, we brought the whole turkey population out into the tall grass for the first time. They will be on this pasture until Thanksgiving. The move outside never disappoints. The chirping, feather ruffling, mud baths, and explorations go on all day. When the turkeys first go out, they ...

Something Cool Is Happening at the Farm

Double Brook Farm is serving as a testing ground for an exciting new technology that has already added comfort for our animals: cooling panels that can be plugged in anywhere.

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! ...

Pigs love to startle and then come back and investigate. These weanlings are about to go out to the wooded lots with nice summer wallows. Looks like they already got into some cooling dirt and mud. #pasturedpork
