If only raising livestock just consisted of snuggling babies and frolicking with critters all day 🙃

As you can see by this picture, there is a little bit of snuggling and the occasional frolicking, but for the most part, raising and breeding livestock is not for the faint of heart.

This little piggy is from our second to last litter for this season. (My girl, Daffodil, is about a month behind because she’s a superstar and is having her second litter of the year 🙌). We have been very blessed overall this farrowing season with large litters, healthy babies and good mamas but there has also been frustration and heartache dotted throughout the season.

There is so much that is out of our control with farrowing on pasture. We have plenty of shelter available, round bales scattered here and there for bedding options and always move our heavily pregnant sows to our most wooded lot for tree cover, but ultimately it’s up to the mama to choose an appropriate spot to give birth. We only had one litter this year that was in a pretty terrible spot and it was definitely an experience trying to help the mama navigate her first 48 hours with babies. It wasn’t a complete loss, with four piglets getting ready to be weaned from her in the next few days, but it was a huge let down because this was a cross (Duroc x Berkshire) that I had been most excited for. This was the nail in the coffin for Duroc in our genetics, for now at least.

The weather also added some challenges to this farrowing season with long stretches of very hot and dry weather punctuated with downpours that quickly turned into mud. The hot and dry was super tough on the mamas, requiring us to fill wallows almost daily and the mud was tough on the babies, especially any newborns arriving around the time of one of the few downpours. Although every season has it challenges, this summer has been a good lesson in what season(s) I want to shoot for in having babies and when I don’t.

We have learned so much in the last few years of breeding and raising pigs. I am so very grateful for every experience, good and bad, and try to take the lessons from each as a way to become a better farmer. In the end farming is such a strong reminder that we don’t really have control over anything in this life, only how we respond to each situation and that seeking the Lord’s guidance in everything we do is not only helpful, but necessary. ❤️

Mabel says being a chicken farmer is kind of exhausting 😮‍💨 Yes Mabel, yes it is lol

She makes sure to fit in naps whenever she can though. During morning and evening chores is the perfect time for a quick snooze ☺️

Make sure you’re not sleeping on the markets this week! You can find us tomorrow at the Moore County Farmers Market beside the Armory 9am-12:30pm and Saturday at the downtown Southern Pines market, the Sanford Farmers Market and the Cary Farmers Market 8am-noon!

We’re so excited to finally unleash our brand new all-natural pet chew line!! You can now treat your dog with the same fresh, delicious, naturally-raised poultry and pork as you do yourself! Our line includes:

Dehydrated chicken heads
Dehydrated chicken necks
Dehydrated chicken feet
Dehydrated chicken skins
Dehydrated pig ears

Our single ingredient dog chews are great for your dog in so many ways!

🐾 Their crunchy and abrasive texture acts as a natural toothbrush, helping to clean teeth and stimulate gums.
🐾 They are naturally rich in glucosamine, chondroitin, and collagen from soft bone, cartilage, and tissue, which help lubricate joints and support mobility in dogs.
🐾 Gnawing on a textured treat satisfies your dog's natural chewing instincts, releases calming endorphins, and relieves boredom or stress.
🐾 They provide high-quality protein, calcium, phosphorus, and essential fatty acids (Omega-3 and Omega-6) that support muscle growth, brain function, and a shiny coat. Unlike cooked bones, the dehydrated bones are brittle and crush safely rather than splintering.

Our chews will be found exclusively at the farmers market. Find them this Saturday at the Cary Farmers Market and Sanford Farmers' Market 🐾❤️🐶

Just in case you were wondering what taking a break due to back injury looks like for a farmer; here is Farmer Matt, Jim Normandin and Scott Lawrence putting the metal roof on the walk-in/processing lean-to today 🙄 I’m sure his chiropractor will be thrilled to hear about that tomorrow lol

Always moving forward, although sometimes very slowly and a little crooked 💪😁🤪🤕

Look at this face 😍 Mabel is growing so fast! And how is it already September?? This summer has been so jam packed it’s hard to believe we’re already heading into the fall!

Farmer Matt’s back decided he needed a little break this week, so we only processed a small batch of chickens and did not drop off pigs/pick up pork. That means, if there’s something in particular you want; preorder is the name of the game! Text me what you want and I’ll have it for you (910-257-6548)!

Also, Mason is taking the weekend off, so we will not be in downtown Southern Pines on Saturday. Here is where you can find us this week:

Wednesday 9/2-Sanford Farmers' Market 4-7pm
Thursday 9/3 Moore County Farmers Market 9am-12:30pm
Saturday 9/5
Cary Farmers Market 8am-noon
Sanford Farmers Market 8:30am-noon

We have hosted so many awesome events this year, that I have lost count. Unfortunately, I am about as good at taking photos on the farm as I am returning phone calls in a timely manner 🙈

This week, however, we had one of coolest groups of the year out, and my kids got some great shots!

On Tuesday morning we hosted NC Choices for a pre workshop farm tour. The workshop, called “Ensuring Quality From Pasture to Plate” featured a couple of farm tours(us and a sheep farm in Robbins), a butchery demo, featuring a pig from our farm (and a lamb from the sheep farm) and a day full of fantastic lectures on multiple areas of meat production.

Attendees of the farm tour were a mix of North Carolina and Colorado farmers, meat industry professionals, Colorado State University faculty, NC Extension agents and NC Choices staff. It was such an enjoyable experience and there were some great conversations had!

We are so grateful to not only provide our community with good, clean food, but to also be involved in agricultural education in so many different ways. From youth farm camps, to the Soldiers To AG program, to workshops, school events and military training, we are so thrilled to be able to make a difference in our community, country and world ❤️🐷🐔

Find us off the farm every Saturday 8am-Noon at the Moore County Farmers Market, Cary Farmers Market and the Sanford Farmers' Market 🧑‍🌾👩‍🌾❤️ and on Thursday mornings by the Armory at the Moore County Farmers Market.

We’ll be short on chicken at the markets this week, but we’ve got a good reason this time! Matt and my stepdad Jim Normandin have been working on upgrading the processing area with a new roof and storage area 🙌 This is a project we have put off for some time because of its interface with chicken processing but I am so excited to be moving forward!!

And the birds are ready so look for a chicken restock at the markets next week 🐔🐔🐔
