Happy Belated Easter / Passover & Spring!

Spring is starting to bring its "fun" to the farm with snow, rain mud and occasionally sunshine... but all this soon means loads of fresh luscious grass for the herd! We usually plan for the first grazing on pasture to begin late April/early May! In the meantime we're keeping busy with, baby chicks, a few early baby calves with more to come and a quick trip back to PA for farmer Erin and Lauren & family to visit our parents, their cows and soak in some unseasonable warm sunshine around Easter!

Spring also means our last monthly pop-up of the "winter" is this coming Saturday April 11th 10 AM to Noon at the Cheese Traveler, thank you to all who supported us this winter, it is greatly appreciated. We look forward to our regular Saturday markets picking back up in May!

Back again in Feb... hoping again you're staying warm!

It's been a winter for sure...

Despite a few frozen eggs and some waterers that we have to keep an eye on there have been some benefits to this winter weather. We've appreciated that the pastures have not turned into a muddy mess allowing for more flexibility for animal management and strategic animal placement for their natural fertilizer placement.

The fields are getting an extra dose of "poor man's fertilizer" and insulation with a thick blanket of snow!

We've harvested our first batch of pigs for the year and are fully re-stocked with all your favorite bacons! This year after we connected with another local processor that was able to take our fresh pork and smoke it with a no nitrate cure! Continuing our efforts to bring you the healthiest and tastiest proteins we possibly can!

Check out our Feb breakfast bundle to try a sampling of the traditional belly bacon, cottage/shoulder bacon, breakfast sausage (featuring VT's Teeny Tiny organic seasonings) and a dozen of our farm fresh eggs!

Speaking of specials, our first Monthly Winter pop-up is coming up next weekend!

Saturday 2/14/26!
