Farmers don't always have the best tools for the job. We're generalists, we do a lot of different jobs every day, and when we buy a tool or a piece of equipment, in most cases we expect them to do a lot of different jobs too. So, sure, a mini excavator with a thumb might be a better tool for pulling out saplings and honeysuckle and autumn olive from this overgrown pasture. But it's amazing what you can do with a tractor and a set of pallet forks.

If you've ever wondered how a chicken gets to be chicken...

We're short a couple people for our chicken processing crew this morning. Come help us out!

If you're not adventurous, your job could be spraying off the birds after someone else eviscerates them. Or your station could be removing the necks and the last couple of feathers that the plucker missed. Or just come by for the afternoon and put labels on the birds after they've been bagged. Honestly, any help today is welcome. Call or text (413) 446-1446 if you want to come by.

Turkeys are different from chickens. They're louder. They're more social. They're way better foragers. And they're also much more susceptible to disease, with the biggest threat being blackhead, a protozoan infection that doesn't bother chickens at all, so they're carriers, but can be fatal for turkeys. We've tried a lot of things for blackhead, with varying success - garlic powder and cayenne pepper sprinkled on top of their feed, apple c***r vinegar in their water. The thing that finally worked was switching from a day range system, where we moved their house and netting every week, to a moving pen system where we move their entire pen twice a day. Since we've made that switch a few years ago, we haven't had any problems with blackhead. It's great in so many other ways too - I watched three turkeys fight over the best dandelion leaf as I was moving them this morning, and the way they go after all the forage right after each move is amazing to watch.

This week our last batch of chicks arrived. We've been meeting the truck every two weeks since April, but because we raised our birds on pasture, we have to look ahead. 8 weeks from now is late October, when we can usually expect warm days and cool nights, which is nice weather for a chicken. Add another two weeks though and mid November can look very different - cold rain for days on end, frozen water lines, and long, cold nights.

So this is the first of the lasts on the farm for the season. Next will be the last time moving birds out to pasture. The last chicken processing day. The last outdoor market. But we've just had the first apples. Judging by the chill this morning we're not too far away from the first fire in the woodstove. We're watching for the first red maple in the fence line to turn blazing red.
