The girls have officially informed us that spring has sprung a little early. Getting about a dozen plus a day now. So eggcited for warmer weather and planting season soon.

We are thrilled to introduce this precious little one, born on the eve of the year's chilliest day, now basking in the warmth of a lovely day with his mama, proving that joy can thrive in any season. Happy Valentine's Day from Farmer Dave and Kara, the farmer's wife.

Looking forward to warmer weather and sitting in the zen den at the end of the busy farm day with my woodland friends. Did you find my evening company in the video?

What do you do in the coldest days of winter? The farmer’s wife is up early sitting in front of the wood stove with seed packets, grid paper, planning the 2026 garden and looking forward to warmer days!

Reminder the stand is still open. All you need to do is call to farmer Dave. He will meet you at the stand anytime. The new heat pump we installed is keeping it nice and cozy. The hens have stopped laying eggs but in a month or so should be back online. The freezers are filled to the top so we have plenty of great pork options for you. Just call and stop in to get great local meats.

Have a wonderful Saturday,
The farmer’s wife

Good morning,

Give us a call and stop by to get all your BPF favorites.

Our littlest one just wants to remind everyone that the farmer or his wife are available to meet you at the stand anytime with a quick call, message or text. We are on our cold season schedule of by appointment for the stand.

Thank you all for supporting our little farm in the woods.

Hope you have an amazing fall day!!!

Good Morning. As we step into the vibrant fall and winter season, our farmstand is transitioning to by-appointment hours, offering you the flexibility to visit us at a time that suits you perfectly - simply call, text, or email us to arrange a visit.

Living on the property allows us to be always available to support you, making it easy to pop up and turn the lights on and share the wonderful products we have to offer. Although we had initially considered a self-serve option, we have decided to prioritize our customers' and our own well-being by not pursuing this path, due to the unfortunate experiences of theft shared by fellow farmstands.

We take pride in offering an array of delightful goodies, including pork, eggs, pickled treats, jams, stunning stained glass, and creative micromosaic jewelry. We eagerly look forward to hearing from you soon and sharing the beauty and bounty of our farm with you.

Be well, The Farmer’s Wife

Good Morning! The farmer’s wife is home, rejuvenating her spirit with some time in her garden and up at the stand today. Farmer Dave will be taking the late shift, inspired by the warmth of the water in the wife’s little pool, beckoning her to take a refreshing break! Stop in for a visit and to pick up your favorites, and get ready to elevate your meals with our amazing offerings. Freezers are full with all sorts of great pork cuts and sausages, great for grilling or slow roasting to perfection. Eggs are filling up the fridge, thanks to our hardworking hens who show no signs of slowing down. Discover unique, locally made jewelry and stain glass pieces that will uplift your spirit. Although we haven’t been doing a lot of canning lately, we do have perfect pickles and some of our delicious jams available. Have a wonderful day and if you’re out and about from 10-2, stop in and let’s make it a day to remember!
