One of our mama Guinea Hogs decided to give her kiddos a snack while I was filling water troughs today. If you listen closely, you can hear her softly grunting to them while they eat! #americanguineahog #americanguineahogs #forestraisedpork #heritagehogs #regenerativeagriculture
Liberty is growing like a weed on our fresh, raw goats milk. We still have herd shares available for weekday pickup!

Sweet Dazzle is very ready for the babies to finish cooking. Poor girl is about ready to pop! 🔊 Sound up and you’ll hear her grumbling about it 😂 #mamagoat #verypregnant #babygoats #rawgoatmilk #rawgoatsmilk #herdshare #regenerativeagriculture #RegenerativeAgriculture
Baby watch! One of our momma pigs is nesting, getting ready for babies. Hoping she holds out for a day or two, but Guinea Hogs are hardy and can tolerate the cold, as long as they have food, shelter, and bedding. #babypigs #americanguineahog #pasturedpork #asnatureintended
They’re here! 125 little peeping poults (that’s baby turkeys)! We are taking reservations for your 2022 holiday bird. Contact us for more info! #pasturedpoultry #pasturedturkey #babyturkey #regenerativeagriculture #soyfree #organicfeed #thanksgiving #turkeydinner
The next batch of broilers has arrived- the first batch will head to the processor next week. I had to cram all of the chicks into one house temporarily, since they came a day earlier than I expected! I’ll get the other house cleaned out today, and move half of them over. #soyfreechicken #pasturedpoultry #regenerativeagriculture #babychicks
Being a first time mom is hard, huh Starlight? It’s going to take a bit of practice before she cares for her baby on her own. 🙄 #nubiangoats #firsttimemom #babygoats #dramatic
Fancy had a beautiful little girl this morning. She hasn’t quite figured out where the milk comes from yet, but she will. Good mama, Fancy! #nubiangoats #babygoatsofinstagram #babygoats #rawmilk #rawgoatmilk #mamagoat
The broilers are really enjoying those organic grains from New Country Organics! Just a few more weeks and chicken will be available again. #pasturedpoultry #soyfreeorganic #regenerativeagriculture #pastureraised #cleaneating #localfood #eatlocal
Princess’ little boy is having a hard time regulating his body temperature. Last night was cold, and he got chilled. So, he got a hot bath, dried with a warm hair dryer, and then spent the day in the warming box with blankets and heating pads. Seeing him suck on my fingers is a good sign- he’s hungry, which means his body temperature is almost back to normal. We’re going to call this guy “Chilly Willy!”
Groot was sneaking a snack from the broilers’ dinner today. There are about 400 birds in the pen with him, 4 weeks away from their processing date. Each pen gets 175 pounds of feed a day, and that will continue to increase until the birds are ready. Did you know it takes 5-6 pounds of grain to produce 1 pound of chicken meat? So these guys should eat a total of 25-30 pounds of grain each during their 10 weeks of life. For a batch of 800, that’s between 10-12 TONS of feed, to produce around 4,500 pounds of meat! #soyfreeorganic #soyfreechicken #pasturedpoultry #regenerativeagriculture #lgd #anatolianshepherd #anatolianshepherdsofinstagram #localfood #newcountryorganics #culpeperva
