Eggs can be ordered anytime or with a biweekly CSA.
PASTURED MEAT
All our animals are raised on pasture, right here at the farm. Our sheep are purebred Icelandic sheep, Suffolk Hampshire cross, and Tunis, the Icelandic breed are renowned for their fine fleece and are preferred by the restaurant industry for the more delicate flavor. They are not as big as some breeds like the Suffolk sheep, but quite delicious. The pigs we raise are Berkshires, and Gloucester Old Spots. They are traditional English heritage breed.
PASTURED BROILDER CHICKENS
We raise the freedom ranger bird, and Cornish Rock, which is a smaller birds, and slower growing than the traditional Cornish cross meat bird. They are raised on pasture, as they are foragers, and do not do well in confinement, and having the opportunity to eat bugs and grubs, adds to the flavor of these birds. They do take longer to reach harvesting weight than other traditional broiler birds but are a better all-round.
Gress-Fed beef
If you’re seeking a healthier alternative for beef, grass-fed beef is an excellent option. It’s rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which promote heart health, and contains less saturated fat compared to conventional beef. So, for your next meal, consider choosing grass-fed beef – your body will thank you!
pork
Berkshire and GOS pigs are a medium bodied pigs, we get them as two month old piglets, and raise them to a market hanging weight of about 220lbs, which takes an additional 6-7 months. These pigs forage and dig around in the woods, cleaning out the noxious weed root stock, and eating nuts, acorns, and all kinds of goodness, that makes the bacon from these happy guys amazingly delicious.
lamb
The primary flock raised here, are Icelandic sheep, they are a smaller heritage/mountain breed, they tend to have smaller bodies, but very flavorful meat, and stunning fleeces in different colors, that are very sought after by hand spinners in particular. We do occasionally add lambs from different predominantly “meat breed” sheep, like Suffolk, Dorset etc.
poultry
There are many different kinds of chickens, from your standard “red” hen that lays brown eggs, to the fun Olive and Easter eggers. There is a demand at market for the “colorful” eggs that we sell, so while most of the eggs in your dozen might be brown, there will almost always be a couple of colored ones in there as well. We love our hens and tend to keep them around long after they have stopped laying regularly.
yarn and roving
Icelandic sheep have a fleece that is double-coated, is has a very soft and downy inner layer, called the Thel, this is often used to make socks, and sweaters, the outer long layer is called the Tog, is more coarse and strong, and used to make carpeting and blankets. The yarn we sell is often blended with Merino wool, to make it especially soft.
cut flowers
Cut flowers have been available on a limited basis at our market stand every summer, in the form of zinnias, sunflowers, and herbs, but we now growing many more varieties, including some wildflowers that grow at our big farm. we have bigger more bountiful bouquets during the summer season at our market stands.
fruit and veggies
We raise a variety of vegetables and fruits, but grow mostly what we grow best, in our high tunnels, which includes heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, herbs, greens, and some field veggies. so we do buy in some of the seasonal veggies that are in our CSA shares, from neighboring farms that grow the way we do.
