Thanksgiving

Blog: Uwharrie Farm   -   Monday November 09, 2009   -   By Judy

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...

Blog: Bunchgrass Farm   -   Friday September 11, 2009   -   By arbortender

The turkeys are growing big and happy. This time of year, we're letting them graze selected runs in the main vegetable garden. The chocolate turkeys have proven more succeptible to local predators than have their Rio Grand wild turkey cousins. Looks like...

Your Turkeys!

Blog: Hurricane Farm   -   Wednesday September 09, 2009   -   By Chris

Lots of folks have been asking about our (their) turkeys.  It must be coming to that time of year when summer starts to end, fall is almost here, and thoughts of Thanksgiving start emerging from deep within. This year we decided to raise more...

Small scale: Baby beef bought and bottlefed, Darin...

Blog: Anonymous Farm   -   Saturday July 18, 2009   -   By Risha

The farm is diversifying and evolving. Got freezer beef? We sold out our pastured chickens in no time at all and will encourage repeat customers and new customers to pre-order so we know how many to raise. 2 young goats were processed and have been tried with...

Blog: Anonymous Farm   -   Tuesday June 16, 2009   -   By Risha

Free Range vs Pasture Pens

Blog: Harp Turkey Ranch   -   Wednesday May 06, 2009   -   By Wes

We get alot of emails on how we raise our poultry here on the farm, so decided it would be a good topic to discuss on the blog.  There is basically two different ways to raise your pastured poultry. We are going to discuss both ways.  We raise all...

Watching Babies

Blog: The Call Again Farm Journal   -   Wednesday April 29, 2009   -   By Laura

It's so fun to watch the chicks!  Whenever I go outside, some are resting, some are eating, and a few are running around.  When they see me though, towering over them like a big predator or a hawk, they all run and hop-fly into a huddle....

New Arrivals

Blog: The Call Again Farm Journal   -   Friday April 24, 2009   -   By Laura

This morning, I was awoken at 5:39 in the morning.  The post office had called, and my chicks had arrived to get them.  Dianna and I got dressed, and drove down to the post office.  We range the bell at the back entrance, and, after waiting...

Not Cut Out For CSI

Blog: The Call Again Farm Journal   -   Wednesday April 22, 2009   -   By Laura

It's sort of ironic.  Big Guy died last night probably right around the same time the first of his babies this year made its first peck at its egg shell and began the process of hatching.  The circle of life in one hour. No poults (baby turkeys)...

Outfoxed

Blog: The Call Again Farm Journal   -   Tuesday April 21, 2009   -   By Laura

Tonight, I went outside to do the evening chores.  I took care of the chickens, and then headed to the turkeys.  I headed through the barn as usual, turning on the lights in the stall to encourage the turkeys to come in.  I went out the back...

Animals have jobs too

Blog: Harp Turkey Ranch   -   Tuesday April 21, 2009   -   By Wes

Here at the ranch all the animals have jobs too. Their jobs are to do the back breaking work of clearing and tilling the land, at the same time fertilizing and spreading it too. The pigs have gotten more done then I first thought they would. They have to till...

These Eggs Rock

Blog: The Call Again Farm Journal   -   Tuesday April 21, 2009   -   By Laura

Exciting news!  I saw the first of the turkey eggs rocking this morning!  Inside the egg, a few days before hatching, the chick (in this case, the baby turkey, or poult) breaks into the air cell at the big end of the egg and starts breathing the...
