With the summer season in full swing, we are seeing the rapid growth of our animals as they nourish their bodies from the best of all nature can provide. Egg production is at an all-time high, the pigs are rolling in mud to keep cool, and the broilers are finally on pasture and seem to be at home in their new home.
Not so long ago, we knew nothing of where our food came from or how animals were treated in the industrial model. Now that we know, we are so happy to be a part of the solution by providing a natural environment for our critters so that when the day comes, they will be the best food product for you and your family.
Using a little ingenuity and lots of brains, Farmer Sean has built some fine shelters for our broilers, to protect them from the blazing sun, rain, and predators. They can roam a large pasture area while still having the benefits of a safe home. Great work, Sean!
Family farming at its finest.
Who knew pigs love pasture?! But they happily scamper about to munch on some grass and root from some grubs each day. Apparently another thing they like to chew on are my two year old's Crocs! You should have seen me, eight months pregnant, chasing that piggy around the field trying to get her shoe. Just an FYI, "drop it", "leave it", and "give me that" mean nothing to a pig.
ReplyDeleteAli, that is very funny. Did you ever get the croc back? I wouldn't want one of our pigs to choke on a little plastic Minnie Mouse, poor thing.
