Porktober
This is our first year raising pigs. We purchased these four locally as weanlings at about 8 weeks. They went to the butcher this weekend at about 8 months; he told us they are some of the biggest he has seen! However, after comparing feed costs, we learned that our pigs went through much less feed than younger, smaller animals. All the foraging they did in our woods has really paid off! Not only were they healthy, happy animals, but they cost less to raise, and did a phenomenal job of starting to clear the woods....we are now several steps closer to "silvopasture".
September Chicken Processing
The last batch of chickens for 2011. Although Hurricane Irene threw a wrench in our well laid plans we were able to get everything done in one day. Thank you Mary for ALL your hard work...and for getting together some herbs from the garden for our customers to roast their birds with!

Moving the Cows......with help
Although our cows are so accustomed to their daily moves that they practically do it themselves, we decided to bring some helpers with us today. Our four goats didn't mind lending a "hoof", but made sure they weren't left behind on the walk home!

Farm to Table
One of our favorite summer activities is preparing meals made from meat and produce we raise here on the farm. What's tasting especially good this year? Summer squash "pasta" and carrots with dill....delicious!
