A good wild blackberry patch is hard to find. In fact, a neighbor told me that if you do find a patch, you never disclose its location. On our farm, we are blessed with several small blackberry patches. Often the berries are small, incomplete, and rather sparse-- they are wild after all. Well, this year the blackberries are out in force and we have enjoyed the bounty. [ 33 more words. ]

Spring, for those of us with laying hens, means we get to enjoy lots of eggs again after the winter laying lull. We are getting 2 dozen each day! That really makes up for the 1 per day over the winter months. How does that affect our life? Well, it means we eat eggs for breakfast, eggs for lunch, and sometimes even eggs for dinner.

It's been a pleasant year raising these three Berkshire/ Old Spot cross hogs. They've been some of the most content pigs! You may recall in past years we've had to chase pigs around the pasture after they'd broken out of their paddock. Not so this year. These guys happily played in their paddock until it was time to move, and then the trotted on into the next paddock. [ 168 more words. ]

Want to know what happens when you try everything to grow organically? Well, you're always searching for ways to get rid of the bad bugs which are trying to consume your garden produce before you. Last year, while waiting in a doctor's office, I read about how catnip plants can keep squash bugs away. Of course I got super excited about that; squash bugs are my nemesis! [ 212 more words. ]

Eggs, Eggs, Eggs!

We are blessed with an abundance of farm fresh eggs this spring. This is such good news to the kiddos who were tired of eating cereal and oatmeal all winter. Yea, Chickens! Way to start laying again! When did this glorious event occur? Exactly when it got beautiful outside, and the bugs appeared. Chickens love to eat bugs. This is definitely a win win situation for a gal who doesn't love ticks attached to the kiddos. [ 175 more words. ]

America is starting to realize confined chicken dosed with antibiotics is bad for ones health. School districts in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Miami-Dade County, and Orlando County have decided to switch to antibiotic free chicken in their cafeterias. This article gives me hope for the future of American food. Europeans get it . They don't want antibiotic and hormone laden food which comes from confined animals fed gmo-feed. I'm glad Americans are waking up! Don't be the last one to switch to healthy meats for your family. Consider buying directly from your local farmer! Jonah's Run Farm is here to raise healthy meats for our family and yours! Come see us in 2015. Many thanks to all our 2014 customers. It has been our pleasure serving your families!

Good news -- six of the largest school districts in the US have decided to switch to antibiotic-free chicken to protect the health of students.

A Beautiful Move & A Sad Mom http://wp.me/p3OBeK-6v

Well friends, with sadness in my heart I have to report that I witnessed a beautiful scene today, but I can't share it with you. My gloved hands failed to press the record button on the video camera. I didn't realize this until I was ready to pause and transition to film the final loading of the pigs into the trailer which you will get to view if you head over to…

Preparing for the big day http://wp.me/p3OBeK-6r

Tomorrow is the big day...the day this year's piggies go to the market...a day mixed with many emotions, yet mostly relief that a year's worth of labor is at its rightful conclusion. Alexander is preparing an alley down the side of our pasture to guide the pigs to the trailer. In years past, our butcher has driven his truck and trailer up to the pig pasture at the top of the hill only to have much turmoil trying to get back out. [ 145 more words. ]

Wooly Wattles liked in Netherlands http://wp.me/p3OBeK-6j

Alexander had some dialog with Mangalitza breeders in the Netherlands today. Pretty exciting that they liked our humble pigs! It is fun to find others out there who share your passion for cross breeding heritage pigs. Alexander and Tom moved the pigs to a new paddock this morning. Tom came in chuckling at how they just willingly follow Alexander around. What a blessed year we've had with this breed. [ 132 more words. ]

Comment box malfunction http://wp.me/p3OBeK-6e

If you have tried to contact us or place an order, we apologize for the inconvenience, but we will need you to submit that again as we did not receive your communication. [ 25 more words. ]

The Big Weekend http://wp.me/p3OBeK-5X

Despite the attempt at intimidation by the above rooster, yes, we did brave the weather yesterday (30 degree temps) and process our last batch of broilers. What a healthy batch they were, too. Not a single loss in this batch. They didn't dress out quite as pretty as a white chicken, but quite frankly a healthy, tasty, pastured chicken is far superior to a perfect factory farm bird.
