When you get enough rain to make a river in the ditch - you know you’ve had a lot of rain!
Over 4” last week on the farm! And we are praising God for the rain on our pumpkin plants!

When you have baby ducklings AND a water table. Cute stuff happens ❤️

I have multiple full grown hens available. Multiple different breeds. I just have too many chickens. They’re all good layers, between 1 and 3 years old. Heavy on the 1-2 year olds.

$25 each. Will make a deal for 5 or more.

We have an overstock on feeder pigs! They are weaned and will be castrated this week. They are anywhere from 4-6 weeks old and weigh around 30 lbs each. I have 19 available.

My hogs can be raised outside on pasture with minimal damage to the land. They can be turned out with cows, horses, goats, chickens, and other animals. They root minimally and do really well eating longer grass, weeds, or hay. They have good temperaments and are easy to tame and raise.

They take 8-10 months to grow out completely (from birth). They usually finish out at 250-300 lbs.

They are $1️⃣5️⃣0️⃣each but I will make a deal if you take all of them, as I have a lot right now.

We have 6 piglets up for grabs. $1️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ each. Located just outside of Byron Illinois. These are Idaho Pasture Pigs that were born and raised here. They are from registered stock but they are feeders. They make excellent meat and can be turned out with other livestock without issues.

We have 3 silkie roosters available. Looking for new coops. I cannot keep them.

They are nice enough, pretty, and full grown.

Let me know if you want one or all. They are F R E E.

And yes - you can eat them. Feel free. lol

I need the coop space for my turkeys.

BACON and eggs! Per Jake - In light of receiving our heavily inflated property tax bill, it is good to know at least the chickens are working hard!

In honor of that friggen increase, we are offering a stimulus sale! 1 lb of bacon and a carton of farm fresh eggs for $10. Or 2/$5 on eggs alone!

We have 3 spots left for Monday for half hogs. These are outside raised, antibiotic and hormone free hogs.

We are having them processed at Harbachs in Freeport. Buyer pays processing, which is usually $1.50-2.00 a lb.

They are $2.75 per pound for halves. If you take a whole, they are $2.50 per pound. I expect these ones to average around 100lbs per half.

Please contact me ASAP as these always go fast. These are my last halves until August/September.
