I needed a quick stop in the woods, just a peek, a glimpse of what is waiting when I get through my basic “to-do” list. (Not my big unending infinite list.) oh boy, oh boy…I will grab more than one gathering vessel!!! I need a reboot in the woods to power back on & recharged!

Roasting chickens available.
Limited amount.

6 # to 9 # These are big chickens, with the healthy yellow fat from being outside.
These chickens are for multiple meals. One for roasting, two for leftovers, three for sandwiches & salads, four to make broth simmered with herbs and vegetables for multiple days of soups. These are not cheap chickens from the grocery store. Also, they walked, so they have meat that is exactly what real, farm raised chicken has.

Raised on pasture, processed at the farm, so they are not stressed out. Preorder preferred, limited amount. I am bringing a few with me to market that I butchered last week and froze. Vacuum packed. Gizzard, liver, heart & neck are in the cavity.

If you ordered a chicken, and want it today, let me know. We are processing more tomorrow, as long as the weather doesn’t wash us away.
Also-see the gizzard? It’s filled with grasses.

They have had a blast these last weeks hanging out with the rams and spring lambs in their pasture. They were raised with care.

“No second breakfast”, says Farmer Lynne. And if you notice they are finger trained. It’s a thing here.

Here is a Goose, who is telling me that it wants the food that I’m giving to the pigs. All of the other geese are behind this Goose, the numbers are 30+. Include in that pack of animals: ducks & turkeys and of course the dogs holding up the back line.

This little girl I nicknamed Dumbo, because her ears are so big and they are angled away from her face. It makes her extra cute. I am curious if she will grow into them.

Her and one of her sisters are also the leaders when heading off, so I am also curious if this behavior will push limitations that will be imposed on her. This breed is Gloucestershire Old Spot, and my favorite. An old world heritage breed, fabulous moms, chill, smart, friendly, and hearty. They are recognized by the Livestock Conservancy Act as a rare breed.

Happy National Pork Month!

I heard the barking and growling and fighting, and went to see what was going on.
This raccoon, would not die without one heck of a fight. It was hanging onto my dog’s face. He was yelping and biting and growling.

His brother was helping him.

I ran back to get my gun, oh, and get clothes on, because I was soaking wet from getting washed off in the tub. I blasted the raccoon in the ass to get him to disengage, so Ollie could finish killing him.

Oh yeah, and the raccoon was in the chicken pasture. The chickens were screaming and carrying on and Ollie went to see why.

I’m so tired of predators this year. And can’t a girl take a bath without some interruption?

It’s national pork month, and I would love to have time to post every day pictures of the pigs I raise on my farm, but I am too busy farming to be on social media much these days. I would love to be cloned, but I don’t think the world is ready for two of me.

So, here’s some pictures of my pigs that I took.

I have half pigs available to order. If you are interested in filling your freezer with pork this winter before the prices go up more at the stores…and my pastured raised, black walnut finished pork here is nothing like grocery store pork raised in commercial buildings in pens.

The pork from my farm is raised outside, and they are raised with respect, and care. I raise rare breed Gloucestershire Old Spot pigs to help conserve the breed.

Send me a message with your email address and I will send you an email that explains the process of purchasing pork from me.

Chicken, pork, eggs, and more

Roasting chickens will be available starting this week. 5 pounds and up, vacuum packed fresh. Ready for your freezer or your oven.

EMAILS ARE BEING SENT OUT WITH THE DETAILS OF DELIVERY AND AVAILABILITY.

These are not cheap smaller whole chickens raised in buildings fed commercial feed that is subsidized by large corporations.

They have been raised on pasture, outside, stress free, running around and eating grasses, weeds, bugs and worms.
Raised to taste like chicken should taste.

These are bigger chickens, perfect for stuffing, and the next day for sandwiches, the next day cut up for salad, the next day the carcass is perfect for making broth. So, multiple meals, with chicken that has flavor and has eaten the way nature intended.

We start butchering a small number this weekend. And then butchering each week until the limited amount we have is all gone.

Delivery to western side of Pgh on Tuesday. I will also be delivering pork, eggs, vegetables & specialty items. If there is something you would like, please DM me. If you are not on the farm email list, send me your email address and I will forward you the latest email and add you to the list.

All chickens must be preordered, and I will be bringing chickens to market to pick up next Saturday also.

There are still some half pigs available for your freezer, which you can have custom cut for bacon, hams, sausage, thick pork chops, roasts, ribs and more. I have an email that I send out that explains the whole process of buying a half pig from us.
If you are interested in sampling some sausage, please message me.

ALSO PLEASE NOTE:
All animals that we sell for meat are raised here on the farm, not outsourced. If you are buying meat from vendors, make sure that they are raising the animals they are selling. There are many out there who don’t raise the animals they sell.

ALL pork is born here and raised here their whole lives, on pasture, eating nuts, pasture, roots, apples, squash and more.
The chickens are either hatched here or we purchase the chicks from a hatchery that we trust.
All turkeys are raised here from poults.
ALL goslings and ducklings are born here.
All lamb is born here, and raised here, along with the goats we sell for meat.

Any questions about where the meat comes from that we sell is easily answered.

NOT AT MARKET THIS WEEK:
Also for those of you who were wondering where I was this week at market, diesel prices are limiting my trips to Pgh. This whole year a trip to market has cost me over $100 with diesel prices over $5 a gallon, now with it pushing around $7, I can’t drive down multiple times a week, I don’t have the funds with everything else that has gone up. Last week I spent over $400 on diesel fuel in my farm truck making multiple trips. I can’t be that reckless in the future, I have animals that depend on me here to feed them.

Since I am delivering pork, roasting chickens, eggs and other products on Tuesday, I canceled spending the diesel fuel on Saturday. I will plan to see everyone next Saturday.

Curly Sue has 11 piglets! The babies and her are doing fabulous. We are so happy and thrilled to raise this rare heritage breed. Gloucestershire Old Spot are my favorite pig breed, outshining every other I have raised by far.
