You may have noticed a new option at checkout? Here's what we've been thinking: When we asked ourselves, “How can we create a true win/win for our customers and our farm?” the answer was clear: build long-term relationships with the families who trust us to put food on their tables. That’s where our new Subscribe & Save program comes in.
Another transition was also marked a few weeks ago by our now annual transformational retreat. Over the last few years we’ve been taking steps towards becoming your trusted source for food AND health. Health, and sensation based mindset coaching specifically, became a passion over ours following Nathan’s herniated disk and Racey’s Cervical cancer diagnosis a few years ago.
It has been a week since our annual retreat. We walked the farm, shared wonderful meals together and asked big questions of ourselves. One of these questions for me is what am I willing to change?
A path that leads to some place different. It is an honor and a privilege to share this weekend with this group of people here at our second annual Reber Rock Retreat. The weekend is not over yet and it has been an inspiration for me thus far:)
Racey and I woke to a relatively unfamiliar sound in the middle of the night this weekend: the sound of heavy rain. We got up and closed a few windows as occasional gusts of wind dampened our window sills.
Last year in May I mentioned in this newsletter than we recorded an album. Many of you have asked about it over the ensuing months, and we are proud to announce that we finally have a final product to share!
We have had just over 2" of rain since the beginning of June. For our farm that is very dry.
This week we welcomed some new faces onto the farm, bring out total pig count to a record breaking 62 animals. I mentioned this winter how we were beginning the process of bringing our pork all the way to Certified Organic, which for us means having the baby piglets here on the farm.
We welcomed a new calf this week. Lovely brown color and full of spunk.
We can always use help:) Lovett helped me pack a few orders on Monday this week. Neither of us were prepared for the cold in our summer clothes. We keep a few spare layers in the barn for this occasion.
Rooted in the energy of the Wood Snake year, this 3-day gathering is an invitation to gently release what no longer fits and reconnect with the wild, wise, and worthy self that’s been there all along.
Growing up in the city of Boston, I didn't find country radio until I moved to Indiana for college. I remember laughing with friends at the lyrics of songs on our local country radio station. Since my first job working on a farm I now laugh for different reasons. There is a beautiful blend of tragedy and lightheartedness that keeps a farmer going, even when the bad news keeps coming.
Reber Rock Farm is a small family farm in the Adirondacks producing pasture-raised certified organic chicken, pastured organic-fed pork, 100% grass-fed beef and lamb, and maple syrup.
