Copicut Farms

Copicut Farms Copicut Farms is located on 80 historic acres in Dartmouth, Massachusetts.

Owned and operated by a fourth generation farm family, Copicut is committed to providing the local community with humanely raised, pasture-fed poultry and eggs. Our chickens spend their days foraging freely in the fields, eating what chickens were meant to eat, and getting plenty of sunshine and fresh air. We process all our poultry on the farm, so you can be confident that all Copicut Farm’s meat and eggs go directly from our farm to your table.

Fifteen years in, and somehow we still genuinely enjoy the day-to-day work of running this farm together. Which, considering how much of that “day-to-day work” involves manure, broken equipment, escaped animals, and things not going according to plan, feels like a pretty solid accomplishment. 😂

When we started Copicut Farms, neither of us could have imagined all the jobs we’d take on along the way. We’ve raised animals, built fences, fixed equipment, processed chickens, packed orders, hauled feed, worked farmers markets, made plenty of mistakes, and become reasonably competent at an alarming number of things we were never actually trained to do.

And after 15 years, some of our favorite days are still the ordinary ones.

Checking animals together. Moving a fence. Fixing whatever decided to break that morning. Talking through the day’s plan over coffee and then immediately changing that plan because…farm. Finishing a project we’ve been picking away at for weeks. Standing in a pasture at the end of a long day and realizing that, little by little, we built this place together.

Running a farm as a husband-and-wife team certainly isn’t always easy. There are long days, an endless list of things that need attention, and plenty of conversations that begin with, “Do you have a minute?” and somehow end three hours later covered in grease.

But there’s something pretty special about sharing the work, solving problems side by side, and still enjoying each other’s company after all these years.

Fifteen years later, we’re still learning, still building, still laughing, still fixing things we swore we just fixed—and, most importantly, still really happy to be doing it together. ❤️

Something we never anticipated when we started the farm? Becoming our own full-scale mechanic shop.

We knew farming would mean learning how to raise animals, manage pastures, process our own meat, and keep a whole lot of moving pieces going. What we didn’t realize was how much time we’d spend learning to fix the equipment that makes all of that possible.

One of the challenges of farming in our area that doesn’t get talked about much is how hard it can be to find someone to work on farm equipment. Most repair shops aren’t interested in fixing a tractor, repairing a mower, or turning around one of our market trucks in 24 hours because we need it the next morning.

So we’ve had to figure out a lot of it ourselves.

Luckily, we have some incredibly talented friends, dedicated family members, and a truly unreasonable amount of stubbornness. 😂 Vince can fix just about anything at this point, and we’re especially grateful to see Emmett starting to take an interest and learn those same skills.

Last week, we got a call around 8 p.m. that one of our market trucks was dead on the side of the road in Boston. We hopped in the flatbed, hooked up the trailer, and headed north.

By the time we rolled back into the farm around midnight, we were greasy, exhausted, and running on a lot of coffee—but the truck was home, and it was time to get to work.

It’s not the part of farming that makes it into the pretty pasture pictures, but it’s every bit as important. Without the trucks that get our food to market, the mowers that manage our pastures, and the equipment that helps us care for our animals, we’re dead in the water.

Apparently, being a farmer means becoming good at little bit of everything. Hopefully we’re doing it with a little bit of grace and a lot of good humor!

Turkeys are here!
Summer is still here but we’re prepping for Fall at the farm! Our turkey poults will be here this week and we couldn’t be more excited. We’ve spent the last few weeks cleaning the South brooder. It housed laying hens all winter so we needed to scoop it out, sanitize it and prep it for little ones.
It was a lot of work and we picked a particular hot stretch to do it in but we got it done. All that sweating (and some cursing) will have been worth it when this barn is filled with a little flock of chirping critters!

We have two pig pastures on the farm, and the pigs in each one seem to develop completely different personalities.

The pigs in the front pasture see us, our staff, and farm visitors throughout the day, so they quickly become very social. The pigs in the rear pasture are another story. With fewer people passing by, they behave a little more like wild pigs - and sometimes finding them becomes a daily scavenger hunt.

We may walk the entire pasture without seeing a single pig, only to discover that they are buried deep in the woods, rooting through the underbrush, or piled together in a mud hole for an afternoon nap.

We still visit them every day to check their food, water, fencing, and overall health. Each week, we use portable electric fencing to move them onto a fresh section of pasture.

Rotating pigs regularly is important because they are incredibly good at disturbing the ground. Their natural rooting helps turn over soil, break down vegetation, and spread nutrients, but left in one area for too long, they can quickly create bare ground. Moving them frequently gives them fresh places to explore and forage while allowing the land behind them time to rest and recover.

They may not be the first pigs to run over and say hello, but hidden away in the woods, digging, wallowing, and exploring, they are doing exactly what pigs do best.
