Walking the Turkeys
July 23, 2020 – 7:54 am
Fortunately, we don’t have to walk them to Boston in the Fall, like they did once upon a time from Vermont. We just walk them from one part of the pasture to another. This past weekend, they paraded a bit further than usual to get to some lovely eating and good shade! Enjoy this up […]
Eat Your Greens
July 13, 2020 – 4:42 pm
Yes, it is that season. You do get to have some crunch with your greens and the variety is nearly endless but it is the opportunity to eat and enjoy a range of greens with gusto. And who doesn’t love a big salad to go with some fresh chicken! Many years ago, farmer Anna went […]
Summer Grazing
June 22, 2020 – 3:52 pm
It has been a HOT week and seems no being on the farm loves that, but many just adjust activities for the weather. For some of us it has meant, waiting for the sun to dip behind the hill before stacking hay. For the Freedom Rangers, our meat birds, it means some early morning grazing, […]

Chemical agriculture attempts to cheat these forces with fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides and herbicides. Their positive impacts are short lived and myriad negative […]

Origin of “Don’t Eat Like a Pig”
April 20, 2020 – 11:09 am

There are many disparaging sayings that reference pigs, some I believe are unwarranted. And for years of raising pigs, I even thought this one was a bit overstated. Then came […]
