7 chicken season now! Our birds are pastured 100% of the time on our heritage farm once out of the brooder. We move them every day onto fresh grass where they can eat fresh plants, bugs, and scratch around as nature intended. This also keeps them very clean. No antibiotics or hormones used. We do use mineral supplements, seaweed, and probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus) in their feed. The birds are processed here at the farm. The advantages are numerous:

Cleanliness, we don't share processing facilities with unknown birds with unknown maladies. We are the owners/eaters of our meat, we care. Low stress and humane processing, our birds don't get transported off the farm in stressful conditions, they are dispatched in small numbers with the most humane practices known. Freshness, our customers pick-up their birds within a few hours of processing (we are constrained by law from delivering). All of the above make for a superb eating experience. These are the finest chicken anywhere. Customers are raving about how its the best chicken they've ever had!!!! Farmers - William Pearce and Hannah Pearce

Two weeks away and WE WANT YOU!! Looking for a handful of volunteers and looking for one or two folks to take photos and videos for MONEY! DM for details!

Also, a few performance spots have opened up if you want to stretch your drag legs!

Can’t wait to see all the q***r cuties, be blown away by some truly wild performances, and dance out asses off into the late summer night.

THANK YOU to our Dirtbag Drag 2026 sponsors! These local businesses make it possible for ALL proceeds of this event to go directly to NEK Rainbow Coalition and their work supporting the q***r community in the NEK, including hosting NEK Pride and NEKRC Wings, a grant program providing direct support to transgender and gender-nonconforming folks in the NEK.

Last year we raised $4,500 for NEKRC!! The performers, attendees, volunteers, and everyone supporting Dirtbag Drag are making our rural community a better place to be q***r, and boy are we grateful for that.

A little love letter from the cut room. Angela and Bug left my ideal valentine for me to discover with the week’s cuts. When I say this food is prepared with love, I mean it. ❤️

And just like that, the last broilers have hit grass. In less than two months all the chickens, turkeys, and pigs will be harvested and in the freezer. Long days, short weeks, and a whirlwind of a farming season; happens every year, yet always a surprise.

Still time to order some chickens for the last couple weeks of the season at the best price around, and turkey orders just opened up. Whatcha waiting for?

Bill picked some blackberries today and you’ll find them Capital City Farmers Market tomorrow!! And that’s not all: you’ll also see the face of our meat cutter extraordinaire, Angela! She’ll be manning our tent while I take a family beach day. Stop by and say hi to the woman who does the beautiful cutting of our chicken AND inspects every gosh darn one of our birds every week. She’s the reason they’ve looked so good for the last 4(5? Who’s counting) years!

Thank you to all who came out for the lovely pasture walk and dinner organized by Center for an Ag Economy last week. I had such a great time touring this big crew around the whole farm, Katt turned the barn into a magical banquet hall, and The Shepherd’s Hearth created an astounding feast from our chicken and pork. It’s really incredible what a group of skilled people who care can create.

Still aglow with the festivities of last Saturday. Thank you to all our friends and neighbors for another great night in Albany!

Couldn’t possibly give enough thanks to the woman who has risen this ramshackle barn and farmhouse into the beautiful space and home it is today; the most generous host: Katt. We got so when she fell in love with this place and decided she wanted to throw the best parties around. If you didn’t get a chance to throw some dollars into the donation bucket last week, you can Venmo her -tolman !!! All $ goes toward making the next shindig all the better, including the sounds system and stage for the barn dance and drag show!

Today we *almost* lost a quite full freezer of meat. Luckily, Angela had a hankering for a popsicle at lunch. Even luckier, Center for an Ag Economy and their crew at Farm Connex had room in their big beautiful freezer and a driver could swing over to haul pallets into storage while we figured out what happened to the compressor. Adding this to my list of all the ways in which that Org has saved ours asses again and again, including helping us pay for the last compressor failure earlier this summer by way of a Farm Fund loan.

This is the third major refrigeration emergency of this season, all different and expensive! But hey, I have the opportunity to really face all the random odds and ends in the freezer. What isn’t worth paying to store, it’s going back to the earth by way of the compost pile. Blessings blessings all around. If you’re in the market for some chicken backs for real cheap, holler asap.

And please do not tell me to get a temp alarm. I am aware and am not seeking advice. ✌🏻
