Moving to new grass

We have had just over 2" of rain since the beginning of June. For our farm that is very dry. 

On a pasture-based farm like ours, rain is very important. Without rain, our pastures do not grow. 

Above you can see our cattle grazing in a field where we cut hay in June. The grass is still green, but it stopped growing weeks ago. 

This technique is called "stockpiling" where we let grass grow and come back to graze it when the cows need more. We usually stockpile grass in the fall to extend grazing into November and December. With the dry weather we are grateful to have pastures to graze.

The Last Chicken

We celebrated "the last chicken" of the season this week. Like the seasons, our farm changes through out the year. In the spring and summer we are bursting with life, the brooder is full of tiny chicks and piglets arrive. By the fall we are like the leaves on the maple trees, preparing for winter.

Collaboration & Thanksgiving

We are so proud and grateful to be offering thanksgiving turkeys this year from our friends at Wrong Direction Farm, who raise excellent Pasture Raised Organic Turkeys. We have a wide variety of sizes for you to choose from so you know just how big a turkey you’re getting. I would also like to take this opportunity to share our journey as a farm from raising our own turkeys to our collaboration with Dave and Wrong Direction Farm.
