Here is a little more detailed explanation of the what, why and how of our farming operation.
We raise chickens!
If you’re reading around the website you probably already know that, but we raise local, organically fed, pastured, Cornish Rock cross chickens. There is a WHOLE lot of information in those few descriptive words and I would love to explain it to you. It’s quite a bit of explanation, but you can read all about it here.
We raise cows!
You’ve probably seen the pictures of our cute calves, but now you’ll know that we raise local, grass fed, intensively managed Belted Galloway cattle. There is a WHOLE lot of information in those few descriptive words and I would love to explain it to you. It’s quite a bit of explanation, but you can read all about it on a page that is soon to come.
We raise honeybees!
Apis Mellifera, the wonderful western honey bee is a fascinating creature that people have devoted entire careers to better understanding. We too are fascinated by this efficient pollinator and keep a few hives. We provide local, organically managed, honey from small cell honeybees. I’m in process of detailing our beekeeping practices and will link to them soon.
We also raise blueberries, grapes and blackberries, but this year (2011) will be the first year of doing it on a bit of a larger scale. Hopefully next spring will bring the arrival of a considerable number of fruit trees as well.
