I first want to apologize...
It has been WAY too long since an update on here. I have had many people asking about what this year looks like for us, for them sourcing good chicken and how many people are in line for the raw milk herdshare.
Ok, here are the highlights since you all heard from us last year:
We have moved to Aberlin Springs in Morrow, OH. It's Ohio's very first agri-community and I am their new livestock manager! I am using my experience as a regenerative farmer to spin up and manage the livestock on this 53 acre farm. I am heading up the chickens in the very same fashion and standards as before and we will be raising at least 600 this year. (I have a feeling that it won't be enough, but time will tell.) We are also raising lambs, pigs, and beef this year!
I am still operating the herdshare and Janet is pregnant! She will calve in early November and so early September, we will be drying her off. When she comes back into milk, we will be milking her once a day. We are actively looking for another cow (or two), filtering potential candidates through out strict requirements. We have a 22 person waiting list for a spot on the herdshare, and hopefully a couple more cows will alleviate that.
There is a market here, but it is private. Fortunately, there area spots still for you to be a Gather member. the membership fee is $50 a year (14 cents a day). This gets you access to the market and all the local goodies we have in there, access to the common grounds on the property (pond, grill room, etc.) and also access to their private chef. She has specific meal dates and a varied menu. Her portions come out to about $16 per serving and the food is EXCELLENT!
If you're interested in becoming a Gather Member, email me and I will direct you to the right person.
I will be updating Our Harshman Pastures page when I can, but I will also be adding content to the Gather the Good Farm page as well. I encourage you all to follow that page for more timely information and updates.
If you all have any questions, feel free to comment, DM, or come on out and check out the farm yourself!
Nestled on rolling hills outside Lebanon, Ohio, Aberlin Springs offers true farm-to-table living. Come explore.
