Just about over our last push to get our poultry schedule wound up for the year and then a break.........oh, no that's right we have to start planning for an increased schedule for next year. We are adding another 20 acres for birds next year. This season has proven even better than I thought it might with the addition of more restaurants to our customer base and our regular customers ordering more frequently. Heck of a good year.
The turkeys are going to market next Sunday and that will be our final meat birds for the season. We have made 2 trips to the processors already. Can't wait for this to be over as it is a LOT of work moving the turkeys until they reach their final destination. Each turkey gets moved about 6 to 7 times from the field to the grocers shelf or customer's arms. I think I have lifted at least 7 tons this year already.That's a lot of turkey.
We are now Animal Welfare Certified for our meat chickens as well as our turkeys!! It always makes me feel good to achieve that certification as it indicates that we are doing a good, humane and sustainable job of raising our birds.
Follow us on facebook (foxhollow farm) and twitter (foxhollows) as well. The posts are much more frequent on those social networking sites.
Will post more after Thanksgiving if our arms don't fall off first.
