As the temperatures drops, we are starting to wind down on the farm.
The meat chickens finished up in mid-October; thank you to all of our customers who have purchased chickens, we hope you are enjoying them. The only animals left on the farm are the turkeys and the laying hens.
The laying hens will be moving down to Hillsboro to winter over in a garden that will appreciate the fertilization. We do not yet have any electricity on the farm and without a little supplemental light, the egg production will really drop as the days shorten.
The Turkeys are growing nicely! I really wish I could better estimate what weights they are going to finish up at, so I could more confidently assure my customers that they will get the size bird that they need. With almost a whole month left, we are hopeful their sizes will satisfy customer expectations.
Shortly, we will be adding a "recipes" page to the blog. If anyone would like to share a recipe, please email us, and you will get credit for it on the site.
