It's poultry time!

Three weeks ago, the first of the year's broiler chickens arrived in the mail. 

They are big enough now with sufficient feathers to keep warm without the aid of a heat lamp, so their new homes are movable, bottomless coops on the grass.   After experimenting with a hoop house style of movable coop that is tall enough for a person to walk into, which makes feeding and water extremely convenient but is highly prone to being blown away in high winds, we settled on lightweight but low to the ground coops that we built last year.  

Continuing in the poultry vein...

Now that the weather has warmed up some - last week it was 80 degrees and today it's only 50, but you know what I mean - it's time to think about giving thanks. We plan to have fresh turkeys this year for Thanksgiving. We'll raise a limited number, so if you want a fresh bird for your holiday table, the time is now to place your order! We'll be taking orders for our turkeys raised on pasture until June 15.  Forget everything you thought you knew about turkey.  The flavor of one of these birds is beyond compare.  Email us for more information about how to reserve your Thanksgiving turkey today!
