Our first lamb watch was a great success. We had several visitors, three lambs born that afternoon, and even some escaped sheep to wrangle. As of this writing, we are now up to 20 lambs with 12 mothers yet to give birth. Come visit us Easter Sunday beginning at 1:00. I wonder how many lambs we’ll have then.
We’re always re-inventing ourselves, trying to determine what we do best. After six years on the farm and beginning our 7th season, I’m sure we’ve got it down this time.
So, we will not be participating in farmers’ markets after April. We appreciate the relationships we have built over the last couple of years and hope to continue those relationships, but we have decided that our time is better spent on the farm at this time.
What do we do well? Sheep it seems. Why else would we have so many lambs?! Depending on how things work out, we’ll see what lamb options we may have for you later in the season.
The other thing we seem to do well are chickens. We will be offering several chicken and egg options (or is that egg and chicken options?).
- Do you use a lot of chicken and have some freezer space? We will raise your chickens, as few as 10 and as many as 50. You pay us to raise them and deliver them to the butcher. You pay the butcher to have them dressed out as you like. The chickens will be heritage breeds, raised on grass in moveable pens (we’ve found that is safer out here with the hawks), and supplemented with organic feed. Please send us a message for more details.
- Don’t have much space but still use quite a bit of chicken. You may select the large CSA option. That consists of two whole chickens and two dozen eggs. $40 weekly.
- Just need a little bit. Select one whole chicken and one dozen eggs for $18 weekly.
Just message or e-mail us for more information.
As always, we also sell our eggs and grass-fed meats at the farm.
