Fatima Farm

03/22/2024

Now in the Heart of Huntsville: Fatima Farm is bringing the pastured difference to Five Points.

As you probably heard by now, our farm is in the process of a big move. Thus, 2024 is a year of transition for us. On one hand, it means our inventory is drastically scaled down: we are not raising the amount of meat we were doing in past years temporarily. But on the other hand, it means we can do something we could not do last year, and might not be able to do again: bring the regeneratively farmed goods straight to the city!

We can now offer porch pickup in Five Points, near Maple Hill Cemetery, for our CSA members. There are no set schedules or pickup days. Just buy what you want and come get it. No need to drive out further than the grocery store to get what you can't find in the grocery store.

Right now on the shop, we've got grassfed lamb on preorder, pastured eggs for $6 a dozen, and a limited supply of our beloved pastured pork.

Not a CSA member yet? No worries. You get a lifetime membership—exclusive access to our farm store every year that it's in operation—for only $10.

We have big news: Fatima Farm is moving! We wanted to tell our customers first so that you won't think we're skipping town if you see our little 5-acre permaculture farm listed for sale. Rest assured that we are not closing up shop, but only moving to a larger property.

SO if you know someone interested in a mini permaculture farm, 20 minutes north of town, please send them our way! We are leaving behind huge blueberry bushes, concord grape vines, a mini-fruit orchard, blackberries, strawberries, a four-stall barn with electric and water, a chicken coop, and our labor of love, our no-till, deep-mulch vegetable garden, whose soil we’ve poured so much into… it is all ready for the perfect person to step in and start growing their own food.

Check out our video, scroll through our Facebook and Instagram to see what all we have grown here on our little farm, and please share with friends!

This gorgeous 3 BR, 2 bath brick ranch mini-farm is a rare find in our market. 5.03 acres with large barn (power and water service connected) and more than 3...

It’s feeling like spring around here! We had a gorgeous weekend to kick off our CSA pickups, and we have surprise TWIN ewe lambs to snuggle with! Aren’t they adorable??

Easter is also right around the corner—don’t forget to put HAM on the menu! We’ve got amazing pastured ham roasts for you at our shop. Just make sure you get them in time to cure and smoke for Easter. It’s as easy as throwing it in some salt and brown sugar for a few days before the feast then throwing it on the smoker. You want the best for this special day and this is how you get it—no funny ingredients, nutrient-dense pork raised on pasture instead of a confined sun-less feedlot, coming right from your local farm just outside of Huntsville.

Ham roasts and other amazing goodies in our online shop are exclusive to CSA members. And if you haven’t joined yet, don’t worry, there’s still time, and it’s only $10! Our shop is filled to the brim right now with delicious, nutrient-dense goods straight from our farm—pastured pork cuts including ribs, chops, roasts; pastured chicken; and even pastured duck that is out-of-this-world delicious! Become a CSA member today to start shopping!

Introducing, the gal who is quickly becoming farm queen, our newest addition: Mrs. Buttercup.

If you’ve seen my stories, you saw we got our first milk cow last week. She deserved a permanent place on the feed.

We are amazed at the amazing amount of food this girl gives us on JUST grass. It is mind blowing. And it’s not just any food. It’s the most nutrient-dense food I could get my hands on for my family and me: raw, grassfed, DAIRY. Jaw-dropping! God is amazing in all of His designs.

With this, we will probably be on another social media break, as we wrap up CSAs, dive in to home dairy, tuck the farm away for winter, and prepare for what we will have to offer the community next year. It’s an exciting time. Before I go, I’ll pop a question box in stories—go there to ask us anything about what we’ve got going on, or tell us anything you’d like to see next year.

After that, contact us by email. Add your email to our website to get on our mailing list and receive farm updates.

Cheers! 🥛

I had a friend join me in the garden this morning. ❤️

(IG has decided to not let me post photos to stories any more, so back to old-fashioned photo posts I go!)

“According to legend, all the flowers and herbs on earth had lost their scent after Adam and Eve committed the first sin in the Garden of Eden. On the day of the Assumption of the Blessed Mother, however, the flowers were given back their scent and the herbs their power to heal.” —Maria von Trapp, Around the Year with the von Trapp family

Consider this your reminder to start gathering your herbs for Marymass on Monday. 💙💙💙

Every so often, I like to share the story of how we got our name. It’s not one I tire of telling. It started a long time ago, 1917 to be exact, with three little shepherd children, tending their flock…

…in a tiny town in Portugal called Fatima. One day, they said that while they were with their sheep, a beautiful lady appeared to them. Word quickly got out that the Blessed Virgin Mary was appearing to them, although they were met with appropriate skepticism by their parish priest and one of their mothers. “Why would the Mother of God appear to you?”

She kept appearing to them once a month, and more and more crowds gathered to this tiny town. One day, the children said that the beautiful lady was going to perform a miracle for everyone to see, confirming the truth of the children’s stories, of her message, and that she was from heaven.

That day, October 13, 1917, 70,000 people came to the field to see what would happen—some to look for signs of hope, others looking to scoff at three silly children.

What would happen that day in the cova in Fatima, Portugal, would be the biggest miracle in the history of Christianity. It is incredibly well documented, witnessed by thousands, written about in atheist newspapers of the time.

And yet… Fatima is so little known by anyone today, Christian, atheist, or whomever. But it shouldn’t be.

So we tend our little flock of sheep in honor of the three children who did just that in 1917—and by virtue of their littleness became a part of the biggest story of the 20th century—the Beautiful Lady they saw who is our farm’s faithful guardian, and the miracle that happened in their own field.

Oh, you want to know the miracle? The message? I’ll leave a link to get you started in my stories. It’s too much for a caption, as all good things are.

We are bringing our 2022 hogs to the processor on August 1, and we still have quarters, halves, and wholes available for purchase. The last day to order is July 31. You can click the links for more information or you can text, email, or call me with questions. If you enjoy high-quality, nutrient-dense, pasture-raised, heritage-breed pork (bacon, ribs, roasts, chops, sausage, lard), please consider our farm to be your source. We would love nothing more than to help you stock your freezers with delicious, nutrient-dense food. These are our last hogs of the year and the last we'll have available for some time, so now is the time to order.

If you don't mind, we would love it if you could help spread the word and pass this along to anyone who you think might be interested. We would be so grateful for your help in this way. ❤️

Fatima Farm is a family-owned and operated Alabama farm near Huntsville specializing in regenerative agriculture to nurture the land and grow hearty, healthy food. We offer a seasonal CSA program, pastured pork, poultry, and eggs, grassfed lamb, and no-spray produce.
