Happy New Year!

Wow, I am just now realizing how long it has been since I’ve blogged here! I’ll try to catch you up on our farm happenings. November was a crazy month at the farm. We had to get the place ready to host Andy’s family of over two dozen, and we also butchered the meat chickens and fifteen Thanksgiving turkeys. The turkeys were done the weekend before Thanksgiving and we learned that many of our customers loved having a fresh bird to prepare. The best part of farm life is reconnecting with old friends and making new ones, while showing people how their food is raised and processed.

We also had two litters of rabbits born. A mix of New Zealand and Chinchilla.

In December we moved the chickens and rabbits into the chicken house, the sheep into the barn, and butchered the a small batch of turkeys for Christmas. Chore time is a little easier now, thankfully, because we are learning that this is going to be a snowy Ohio winter.

The new year brings new goals, ideas, and challenges for our farm. We hope to expand our operation and meet some new friends and customers by selling at local farmers markets. On-farm sales will continue as well. We feel blessed to be able to be have this opportunity and look forward to serving your local food needs in the coming years.

Eggs to go

We are going on week three of delivering eggs to friends and contacts in “the city”, with almost 30 dozen sold! I am absolutely loving it as I feel even more connected to my grandmother who did the same thing during my childhood. I love that people are loving our eggs and I love having an excuse to go to Columbus. Right now we are trying to combine trips and deliver to a couple homes or offices, but we hope to get a more regular schedule worked out soon! Feel free to send me a message or check out the online store for ordering.
