Plus gouda & apple chicken sausage is back, spare ribs are on sale again (and there's lots of them) and we have lots of fruit jams and pepper jellies that would make a great glaze or homemade barbecue sauce!
Read MoreWe have 11 doelings for sale born in February and March 2025 from our hardy herd of meat goats. Most are Kiko, Boer, Myotonic Crosses, with some having Saanen and Oberhasli mixed in, as well.
We’ve bred for good mothering and milk supply as well as natural parasite resistance and overall hardiness for nine years and while we’d love to keep every single doe, we have a big enough herd as it is, so these gals are ready for new pastures! Pictures and info about each doe.

Read MoreWe’ve got two litters of new piglets, the goats are still grazing in two separate herds, the hens picked up their egg production slightly and the cattle are continuing their quicker pasture moves thanks to a persistent drought.

Read MoreIt feels like we blinked and September passed by! The continued drought we’re experiencing is affecting the cattle — in the form of faster pasture rotations — and pigs — in the form of constant wallow filling and hose offs — the most, but it’s not all bad. And meanwhile we did a big goat sorting project for breeding season and unfortunately, the hens are already beginning their seasonal decline in egg production with the shortening daylight hours.

Read MoreKnock on wood, everything is going so smoothly at the farm in recent weeks! And we’re really noticing the fruits of our labor in rotational grazing all the different livestock species, spreading compost, mowing down extra “green manure” behind the goats and cattle and taking care of hedge rows and ponds for wildlife. As a result, the farm is teeming with life, both domesticated and wild!
Read MoreWe’re close to a change in seasons with produce as a few other things winding down and we wait on fall crops, but we are alway trying to keep it as bright and beautiful and colorful a we can in our produce lineup with fairy tale eggplant, a bunch of cucumbers, okra, microgreens, peppers, summer squash and more.
