Monday notes

-
A couple things to note on this beautiful Monday morning as I (ole ma) sit with Ruby here in the sunshine. 

We are doing a HUGE HUGE super huge pork restock this week! We are bringing home lots of bratwurst and chops galore! So we need to make room in the freezers! That has us extending the $2 off all roast sale AND we marked the bellies to half off! They are only $6 this week!!! 

If you come to the farm stand, there's a good chance we will be throwing in extras because we REALLY need to make some room for all the pork we have coming back! Or if you order one of our bundles we will be loading you up with all kinds of porky goodness! (Oh, we marked those down also!)

If you're after bulk pork, we are doing the the yeehaw25 sale for a few more days. That means you can get our whole or half hogs for $25 off! Yes, it INCLUDES the butcher fees-even smoking the bacon!  You get to choose your sausage flavor, package size and more too! We only have a limited number of hogs though so if you want one, don't wait! 

Anyways, come see us! Shop the farm stand, see the critters and say hello!  We love it when y'all stop by!

Thanks for choosing to #knowyourfarmer

As winter blanketed the farm in its icy grip, we've grappled with the unavoidable truth that this season brings loss. While each departure weighs heavily on our hearts, two recent losses have been particularly significant. Big Bird, our cherished emu at the age of 37, bid us farewell after many years of companionship. While her departure was expected due to her age, it has left a profound void in our hearts. During her final hours, as we noticed she wasn't doing well, we brought her into the warmth of our home. For her last 24 hours, she was nestled under a blanket, surrounded by the comfort of our presence. It was a peaceful and intimate farewell, a fitting end for our dear feathered friend. Another somber loss that should be mentioned is the passing of Meri, our beautiful Berkshire sow. Taken from us tragically during the horrible cold snap that hit the Northwest. A fight with a basic infection coupled with that dangerous cold tipped the scales and unfortunately s

Hopping Right Along

It was right before the weather turned cold that our little FarmHer was gifted a colony of breeding rabbits. And true to rowdy Raye they couldn't just be cute cuddle buns, oh no! They had to of course be…  meat rabbits!  Yes, meat bunnies! It wasn't just the rabbits themselves, it was all the things that go along with them too. She and Ole Pa were tearing up the road dragging home the happy hoppers and all the paraphernalia that go along with them like cages, water system, feeders and more. Somehow they even managed to sneak in another barn kitten to add to our cat herd.  Now what? Raye, having grown up here where we have an almost obsessive need to provide more than adequate care for critters, decided the accompanying cages were not large enough. This, despite the fact that they are almost double in size of industry standards cages just wouldn't work for the pint size peanut. No, she wanted her bunnies living their best bunny lives in a happy family style colon

Ole Ma's Ramblings

This week's newsletter will be a bit brief, as recent events have left our hearts heavy. There was a break-in at the farm, and it has been incredibly sad not seeing folks come and go, sharing in the simple joys of farm life. We've had to close the farm stand temporarily as we regroup and reassess.  It's a time of pulling in close, recalibrating, and finding our footing once more. The farm, which is usually a place of bustling activity and community, feels strangely silent without the daily interactions we cherish so much. Our hearts just aren't in it right now, as we navigate through this period of uncertainty and reflection. Through this, we lean on our faith and the comforting words of scripture. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us to "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." We hold onto this promise, trusting that even in this challenging time, He
