Christmas is coming, and so is the sausage

Blog: Twin Creeks Farms- Wesley Stephens and Bethany Stephens   -   Thursday November 19, 2009   -   By Wesley and Bethany

This fall continues to be our busiest ever. Our winter pastures are turning green and looking very nice and we are taking the first 3 beeves of the fall to be processed tomorrow. Traditional country sausage is very popular in our area, especially around the...

November 2009

Blog: Garden of Ethan   -   Monday November 02, 2009   -   By Ethan

I have grossly miscalculated my ability to keep up with processing all the birds I raised this year. Slipping an extra dozen into the incubator, and then another, and later finding a hen sitting on eggs, all seemed rather innocent and inconsequential this...

Blog: Good for the Earth and Good for you... Millsap Farm   -   Monday October 19, 2009   -   By Curtis and Sarah

We are excited to announce our new Meat CSA.  We have been toying with the idea of a meat csa for quite a while, but I finally found the time to write out details and costs, and have posted it all, plus membership applications, to our wordpress...

Broody Picks a New Home

Blog: Miolea Organic Farm   -   Wednesday October 07, 2009   -   By Brian

Our second flock of layers has a broody chicken.  She's actually gone broody two times this year.  Although breaking them of broodiness is not that hard it is still a change to all concerned.  You need to isolate them and make sure they...

Clean Meat

Blog: MM Livestock Co   -   Monday October 05, 2009   -   By Megan

I had a gal join our CSA and she asked a question that needs to be addressed again. She asked how we prove that our meat is "Clean". I asked her to define what she meant by Clean ans she said,"Can you prove what they eat is safe?" Yes We Can! While we are...

The Delaware Chicken Experiment Results

Blog: Pleasant Valley Farm   -   Thursday September 17, 2009   -   By Emily

As promised, the results are in on our heritage chicken experiment!  Normally, our Cornish-Rock hybrid chickens are processed at 7 or 8 weeks of age, but our Delaware rooster was about 7 months old.  Because of this, we wanted a cooking method to...

I'm Hen Hot

Blog: Blue Fox Farm   -   Tuesday September 15, 2009   -   By Megan

I'd been noticing some odd behavior from our pullets this past week. They kept darting in front of me, stopping, squatting down, making an odd noise, and letting me pet them. It seemed rather bizarre and it started all of a sudden. It just dawned on me today...

poultry and garden notes

Blog: Bunchgrass Farm   -   Saturday September 12, 2009   -   By arbortender

This has been a great year for weeds and for flies. The turkeys are pleased. Perhaps this explains why the chickens have not been tempted into the onions this year. Our new broods of dark cornish and buff orpingtons have settled in outside and it's ever so...

Experimental Chickens

Blog: Pleasant Valley Farm   -   Thursday September 10, 2009   -   By Emily

Today was another day of processing chickens.  While it's not my favorite job, I feel ok about it as our chickens, living a life on grass and in the sun, have a far more comfortable existence than those in factory farms.  I feel better about selling...

We finally finished the general building of the new chicken coop/outbuilding.  There are still some things left to do, though, like add siding, roofing, a step, maybe a window box with some flowers... But we have moved all the meat chickens and some...

Broody is broody again

Blog: Miolea Organic Farm   -   Wednesday August 12, 2009   -   By Brian

We are learning, we have learned and we will continue to learn.  Our knowledge comes from reading, talking to others, working and observing.  Like on Saturday we observed that Broody was back sitting in her nesting box.  Then we...
