I first met Sunnyside Farm 3 years ago at a farmers' market near me. I signed up for a turkey for Thanksgiving, my first heritage bird, and was struck by how simple it was to deal with these folks as I learned how to properly cook a heritage bird. We weren't talking about a no-fault water-and salt infused Butterball! The following year I signed up for the CSA for their eggs, chicken and turkey and was so pleased by the way they raised their chickens and turkey, all to standards that I have become spoiled by. I would not even conceive of buying my eggs, chicken or turkey anywhere else, even if the prices were cheaper. (You get what you pay for.) This year I also got to see the farm on numerous occasions. I was so impressed by their operation, that if I lived closer I would probably volunteer there. ALL farms should operate this way - keeping it environmentally sound from every possible angle. Maintaining healthy (and happy) animals.
What is equally impressive is that these folks strive to assist other farmers who want to move in the same direction. Offering seminars whenever asked. They truly lead by example. I wish there were a lot more doing farming like this!
