Copicut Farms, 11 Copicut Road, Dartmouth, MA (2026)

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.

One of the most important parts of raising sheep on pasture is keeping them moving. 🐑🌱
At Copicut Farms, we rotate our sheep onto fresh pasture regularly so they have access to new forage while the ground behind them gets a chance to rest and regrow.
That rotation is especially important with sheep because they can be very susceptible to internal parasites. Moving them frequently and avoiding overgrazing helps reduce that pressure and keeps the flock healthier.
It also helps the pasture itself. Grazing stimulates new growth, manure returns nutrients to the soil, and giving each paddock time to recover helps us build stronger, healthier fields over time.
Of course, moving sheep sounds simple until you actually try it. It usually involves moving fence, dragging water, shifting shelters, checking grass, and then standing at a gate wondering why every sheep suddenly seems deeply suspicious of the perfectly good pasture on the other side. 😂
That’s where Lucy earns her keep. She helps us get everyone moving in the right direction and makes a job that could take forever go a whole lot smoother.
It’s more work, but it’s one of those systems that just makes sense to us. Healthier sheep, healthier soil, and better pasture for the next rotation.

They’re out!! 🦃🦃🦃

The turkeys have officially moved out to pasture! Usually, we crate them one by one and move them in small groups. This season, we decided to try walking them over instead. A stroll with a flock of turkeys…what could possibly go wrong? 😂

Thankfully, everyone made it to the right place, and they’re now enjoying sunshine, fresh grass, and plenty of room to explore.

For the first 24 hours, they mostly hung around the gate, chirping at us every time we walked by, as if to say, “Are you sure we’re supposed to be out here?” Now they’ve gotten the hang of it and roam around like a wild little gang, foraging and playing.

Watching the animals settle into life on pasture never gets old. Seeing them stretch their wings, graze, and make themselves at home is one of the best parts of this work. There’s a lot that goes into getting them here, but moments like these make it all worthwhile.

Some weekends on the farm are beautiful. This was not one of them.

By the time we stopped counting, nearly 6 inches of rain had fallen, turning pastures into mud, soaking bedding, and leaving animals—and farmers—cold, wet, and miserable.

This nor’easter hit our little corner of the world hard. Thankfully, we didn’t have any major damage, but keeping the animals safe and comfortable became a race against the rain.

After spending Saturday at market, we came home and headed right back outside to move sheep shelters to drier ground, replace soaked bedding, and warm up a few chilled lambs. You’d be amazed what a women’s size small Carhartt jacket can do for a 40-pound lamb. 😂

That’s the thing about farming in bad weather: the regular chores don’t disappear. They just get wetter, heavier, muddier, and take about twice as long.

We thought we were pretty well prepared for the storm, but the rainfall predictions—at least for our little corner of the world—were way off. Animals that should have been perfectly fine were suddenly soaked to the bone, and some of the places we expected to stay dry simply didn’t.

So, regardless of how badly we wanted to go inside, sit on the couch, and build a completely unnecessary fire, we pulled our boots back on and got to work.

By sundown Saturday, we had most of the animals buttoned up pretty well: dry bedding, shelters moved, lambs warmed, and everyone settled in.

And then Sunday morning came…and it was still raining.

So we started all over again.

It’s not the glamorous side of farm life, but it’s a very real part of it. Sometimes good animal care looks less like a beautiful pasture at sunset and more like two tired farmers standing ankle-deep in mud, trying to convince a wet sheep to please just go into the nice dry shelter we moved specifically for him.

Now, respectfully, we would really like the rain to stop. ☀️😂

Turkey Reservations Are Open!!!
Thank you everyone for your patience. We have heard from so many of you about how excited you are to reserve your turkey. It is so incredibly flattering to know how much our turkeys mean to so many local families.
If you would like to reserve a turkey for the holiday, please follow the link in our bio or visit us at your local farmers market.

Full disclosure - these are last year’s turkeys, our 2026 flock is still only about 10 inches tall - scroll to the last photo for those guys. They will be headed outside next week and will be living their best lives foraging and growing!

The 2026 flock will be this big before we know it!

Here’s this year’s batch of trouble makers. They may be our rowdiest bunch yet! 🫣

Not farm related at all… 😂

Because apparently running an entire farm does not provide Vince with enough projects.

He also happens to be a pretty darn good boat builder.

This was the very first boat he ever built, and over the years it has taken our family on more adventures than we can count—from exploring the Everglades to countless days fishing on the ocean. It also gets a lot of the credit for helping Emmett develop his love of fishing and being on the water.

Sadly, she has officially reached the end of the road.

We found some water in the hull and all crossed our fingers that it would be a manageable repair. Then we pulled up the floor.

It was not a manageable repair.

The damage is extensive enough that restoring her just doesn’t make much sense, which is definitely bittersweet after all the memories we’ve made in that boat.

Fortunately, Vince has never been one to look at the end of a large, time-consuming project and think, “Great, now I can relax.”

So… onto the next boat.

Which means more evenings in the workshop together cutting, sanding, building, and probably wondering why we thought this was a good idea in the first place. 😂

And then, eventually, another boat. Another adventure. And another whole collection of family memories.

Before Copicut Farms was ever really a farm, Vince and I talked a lot about homesteading, self-sufficiency, and producing more of our own food.
Then we started a farm - which, in hindsight, was probably the least efficient way possible to simplify our lives. 😂

Somewhere along the way, though, we found our own version of it.

We raise, catch or hunt essentially all of the meat and eggs our family eats. The garden gets a little bigger every year. Summer vegetables get tucked away for winter. Beef tallow becomes candles and lotion. Pork fat becomes pie crust. Bones become stock.

And by January, our kitchen usually looks like a bakery, workshop and small science lab all at once.

Our newest blog post is about self-sufficiency, sustainability, wasting less, and why we believe being more connected to your food doesn’t mean you have to do everything yourself.

Sometimes it simply means buying closer to home, knowing where your food comes from, and supporting the farms caring for the land around you.
