Oh the back-to-barnyard drama. It's been a full season of rotating fields, haying, grazing, and lazing. But fall brings a change of pace and new questions. Which Pyrenees will partner with which?

Where will the turkeys wander to without their hall pass?

Who's joined the WDNC club and is just happy it's no longer bikini season?

And who's soaking in the last rays of these crisp summer days?

Whatever you are dealing with as you head back from vacation season, we understand.

Make sure to visit us at the Hopewell Farmer's Market and ease the pain of back-to-school or back-to-work with some of our pastured turkey, chicken, pork, and lamb (plus bacon, sausage, ground meats, and raw dog food!).

And buy our products at Hopewell Fare or enjoy them on plates at Brick Farm Tavern!

Thanksgiving ordering is up – more details soon…

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 ...

The Food You Want From The Farmer You Know

We’ve got all stages of turkeys right now. Newborns, two week olds, and stand-offish juveniles. And of course, we have Nelly to watch them as they come outside. #pasturedturkeys #heritageturkeys
More turkeys are here! Round two is almost officially over and the next batch is in the wings. Weren’t you curious as to how farmers had turkeys of various sizes at Thanksgiving? However, It’s not a perfect science…there is always a scramble for the 12-16lb bird.
