I’ve been thinking about hops. I am not alone in this consideration. People have been pondering the conical flowering vine for centuries. Thomas Jefferson, in the spring of 1794, wrote in his garden journal that hops were “Objects for the garden this year.” [i] Here in New England many old far...

Farm or Food? This gorgeous guy is one Jacob ram too many. He is a proven producer and loves the ladies, however, he needs a new farm to live on. I really like him and really don't want to do it, but if he doesn't relocate, he will be processed to feed our family and friends. He is almost 2, has great horns, decent fleece, makes healthy lambs, and is available for $200. He is not registered, but is full Jacob. DM us if interested.

We were met with two new babies this morning in the barn. Glad we got the prospective moms inside in time (unlike last year!) - outside it is snowing and a storm is on the way❄️.

The days are getting longer and the girls are laying! We are now able to start taking customers. We are a small farm and thus limited, so please message us with your requests. Eggs are $4 dozen🌱
