Local, sustainable farm Welcome to Canticle Farm!

We are a family run farm and have a market garden, grow fresh flowers and herbs, and raise miniature Nubian dairy goats. We also have an ever growing line of handcrafted soaps, balms and lotions and other body products, many made with our goats milk. We practice sustainable agriculture to produce healthier, hardier livestock and some of the best veggies and fruit you've ever tasted.

Start this sunny Saturday right at the McKinney Farmer's Market! We've got our spring candles , goat soap goodness, and some beautiful blooming plants to remind you that Spring is just around the corner. See you at the market from 9-Noon today!

We took advantage of the dry and sunny days to get the last of the onions planted and prep beds for more veg and flowers. Ran into lots of frogs and skinks so we know they like the chemical-free gardening! (All critters were carefully relocated). The outdoor greenhouse is full of blooming plants and we will be bringing some to the market this weekend for folks who want a winter pick-me-up or gift for a sweetie! Hope you enjoyed the sunshine and warmer temps.

Come see us at the market this Saturday and get to know your farmers.

Gotta brag on this girl for just a minute. During all the snow last week we finished up the Collin County Junior Livestock show. Sara has spent the last 4 and a half months growing 7 flats of plants in her own greenhouse and the last two years hatching and selecting birds to show from her flock of Bantam Wyandottes in an effort to do well at this show. She was Reserve Champion over all the Breeding Chickens and was also a Division Champion and Division Reserve in Floriculture and Greenhouse. If y'all aren't aware of the county show, maybe think about coming to the Blue Ribbon Auction this Saturday where local businesses, individuals and livestock supporter groups "bid" to award the kids who "made sale" for all their hard work. In a time in our country where we see kids making less of an effort all the time, I guarantee this is an opportunity to award kids who are working hard. Thanks to all the ag teachers and volunteers who stuck it out to make the show happen in spite of adverse conditions!

We are on bucket brigade at the farm today keeping the drinking water flowing for all the critters, but in the greenhouse it's a balmy 70 degrees. I spent some time this morning potting up some pre-sprouted ranunculus corms for the garden show. If you haven't grown these before they are a favorite of mine and I've grown them here in North Texas for 8 years now. They do have to be lifted after the greenery and blooms are spent, but multiply beautifully and are such gorgeous cut flowers! Spot the cat has found a new couch in the warm, she's just big enough to wiggle in and out of the greenhouse vents and sleeps there most nights. Everyone stay warm!

New year and new tasks! We are enjoying the beautiful sunshine and prepping for the Arctic blast by bending new hoops for low tunnels. Who needs a pipe bender when an old tractor tire does the job? In the greenhouse we have seeds coming up and are propagating scented geraniums for the Collin County Garden Show. Also divided up our War Chief bearded iris, limited supply will be available in March at the garden show. Hoping to get everything mulched, prepped and covered before the cold hits!

This is it folks! Last chance to shop the McKinney Farmer's Market for those stocking stuffers, holiday meals, and hard-to-buy-for family and friends. No lines, no long walk in from the parking lot and lots of friendly vendors. Shop local today from 8-noon!

A big Thank You to the McKinney Farmers Market at Chestnut Square, Chestnut Square Heritage Village and all the others who donated their pumpkins for our animals. The goats and donkey dove right in. The goats didn't even want to wait for us to break the big one open. We will dole them out over the next month so they get all the benefits of pumpkin goodness.

Alright home chefs, we've got a deal for you! The frost got almost all our tomatoes and peppers, but not before we harvested everything we could. Now we have a dozen extra-large clamshells of Cubanelles, Scotch Bonnets, Habaneros, and Buena Mulatas looking for a home. Do you love stuffed peppers? Try our Cubanelles! Want to make some spectacular hot sauce or jerk seasoning as a home-made gift for family and friends? Pick up a clamshell of our hot peppers. Best price of the season! at $4 a clamshell. We will also have our Ayote winter squash, and tomatoes while they last. If you are working on your Christmas list, we have lots of gift options; goat milk soap, candles, lip balms, bath salts, wax melts and bath fizzies. See you at the market tomorrow from 8-Noon!

23/11/2024

It's time to get those Thanksgiving goodies this morning at the McKinney Farmer's Market! We've got all the fresh veg, baked goods, homemade pies, and ready to heat and eat dishes to make your holiday meals a success! If you need a thoughtful hostess gift we have those too! Stop by today from 8-Noon.

16/11/2024

Ready for market tomorrow with a full crate of Ayote and Striped Cushaw winter squash, lots of tomatoes and peppers, new crop luffa (clean, dried, and shower ready.). We'll also have our jams, pickled okra, and apple butter as well as our soy candles. Lots of great soap choices, and lotion bars back in stock. See you tomorrow from 8-Noon.

You've been asking and the Arkansas Black apples are finally ready. This is an heirloom variety of "keeping" apple that actually improves in flavor after a few months of cold storage. We've done the storage part and these apples are firm, crisp and sweet with a rich apple flavor. They will keep well for your Thanksgiving baking and their fine textured, creamy flesh is great for an eating apple as well. We only have a couple of bushels available so this may be the last market we have apples. The tomatoes are still producing well, and check out these beautiful Cubanelle peppers! Cubanelle or Italian Frying peppers are delicious stuffed and baked or sauted for your hoagies. We'll also have a rainbow of other peppers like: Shish*to, Fushimi, hatch, White Lightning Bolt, Scotch Bonnet, Habanero, and more. Stop by the McKinney Farmer's Market this weekend from 8-Noon!

01/11/2024

Looking forward to the market tomorrow as the great weather has sent our fall tomatoes into full production . The flowers are also hanging on if you'd like a bouquet for your table and of course the pepper assortment just keeps getting better. Stop by the market for your weekly veggie and take a second to smell the new soap varieties or check out our fall candles. See you at the market from 8-Noon tomorrow!

Fun holiday shop-ortunity in McKinney today! The McKinney Newcomers association is hosting a vendor fair this morning from 9:30-11:30 at the Collin College Conference Center. Indoor shopping, lots of vendors, fun raffle prizes and more!

I know everyone has been missing the daughter at the market as she's been out several times lately for various competitions, but this weekend was the big one, the Texas State Fair. She showed a handful of her bantam Wyandottes and came home with great results! She was particularly proud of her very young pullet who went all the way to Champions row on her first show out. Most of the birds shown were hatched and selected by her, so she's happy to have confirmation she's on the right track.

12/10/2024

Rise and shine McKinney! It's farmer's market time! See you today from 8-Noon.

We weren't sure we could pull it off, but Farmer Jim was able to get sustainably-grown apples from Drewry Orchards to have at the market this weekend. Kenny always has a wonderful variety of apples and this year is no exception. We'll have Kiku fuji, Liberty, Golden Delicious , Ambrosia, Desert Rose fuji, Jonagold, Golden Blush, and classic Fuji. These apples were picked this week and will only be available while they last, so stop by early Saturday for the best choice. We've also been making our Old Fashioned Apple Butter and Bourbon Apple Butter, each batch takes a few days to make but we'll have some jars of each ready for this weekend. See you Saturday from 8-Noon!

03/10/2024

Apples, apples, apples! Farmer Jim headed up to Arkansas this week and picked up some orchard-fresh apples. Nothing tastes better than a tree-ripened apple, the flavor of fall! We will have three varieties available and will only have them for a week or so so stop by the McKinney Farmer's Market Saturday from 8-Noon

So when we moved out here almost 14 years ago there were lots of moments of silence where you didn't hear cars driving by or heavy equipment or planes. In the last few years that has changed a lot, and now there are times that I take video and can't use it cause a noisy vehicle ran by, but today-ahhhhh! Silence! Enjoy the serenity while it lasts....

It's Christmas time at the McKinney Farmer's Market and the vendors are ready. Come visit Santa, see our vintage model train display and our gingerbread village and stay for the best shopping in the metroplex. We're here today from 8-noon at Chestnut Square Heritage Village

It's a beautiful and busy day at the McKinney Farmer's Market! We have all kinds of fun family events, the fire department is here for up close visits with a fire truck, we have a library event with story telling, and we have local authors to visit with! At the farm booth the first peppers are ready, we've pickled the last of our beets, there is a full flat of farm flower bouquets, and lots of fun plants available. Come on out today from 8-Noon

It's lovely and cool and most importantly, not raining! Come on out for our fresh green, beets, turnips, and flowers as well as all our other farm raised goodies! See you at 8-Noon at the McKinney Farmer's Market

More parkour challenges from Penny. Gilly's triplets gave it a go, but no one beats the princess.

Penny is our daredevil doeling from this years kid group. She's been riding our donkey for weeks and I finally got it on camera today. Thanks again to @stonyglenstables for letting us have the bestest nanny donkey around, Miss Daisy Mae. Apologies for Abel Turkey photo bombing, if he sees a camera he assumes it's for him.

The farmers market is open! Spend your Saturday morning with us from 8-12 today at Chestnut Square Historic Village.

Rainy day fun! Our large clutch of Serama chicks are out and on the move with all three mother hens on guard and ready to demonstrate the "scratch and examine" technique of finding your own food.

Easter surprise! The large clutch of Serama eggs began hatching. We moved the nest box with all three hens, dozen chicks and a few eggs still hatching to a coop on the ground so the mothers could hop off for a second to eat and drink. It's not uncommon for hens to go without for days once hatching begins and that includes potty breaks as well as food and water. You'd think with this many hens they'd tag team, and that is how they started sitting, but once hatching began each hen wanted ALL the chicks and would steal chicks if I lifted a hen to check under her. They are out of their 2 story hen house now and the chicks should be ready to leave the nest box tomorrow to start eating and drinking.

It didn't last for long, and the farm dog was underwhelmed, but it was pretty while it lasted. (The whole 30 minutes ☺️)

What do farm kids do during Christmas break? Applied physics problems! How do you move an 8 x 12 chicken coop 100 ft from current location without tractor or other pulling vehicle, and without pulling it apart? Lots of PVC pipe, wood track and levers! Chicken coop is moved and now we can start assembling the new caterpillar tunnel.
