Great for chicken treats!
Follow along our adventure as we make the transition from corporate city life to the world of natural farming. Each day brings a new experience and brings us to a deeper understanding about the life and spirit that made America great. At our farm we do our best to give the animals we raise a natural, free, happy, stressfree lifestyle. Our mission is to learn and share how to manage a farming operation that is both profitable and humane.

Hog harvest update
It has been a very busy week! After 3 full days of harvesting, the hog herd is down to just 11 breeders and 1 small boar. It seems surreal to reduce the herd so much so fast, but it did serve the purpose. Without any off farm income (see recent blog post) this provides us the income to keep going for a couple months. After that... I don't know yet but we shall see where things go.
The 11 breeders were kept so far because they were in various states of pregnancy. As time goes by, we want to weed out about half of these also.
Today we got quite a surprise! A good size litter arrived! Unfortunately with all the recent commotion, the sow didn't know what to do, and did not make it to "the birthing area". Some of the piglets got lost trying to escape the mid day heat. We did the best we could as soon as we discovered them, but a few didn't make it. Very sad.
Farms thrive on routine. These two weeks have been anything but routine, and that causes some difficulties and consequences. But this coming week things should get back to normal and settle in.
Stay tuned!

Mistake found - Meat prices now set properly
I discovered a huge problem in our online store, a mistake that ended up showing certain meat prices at almost double the actual price! (no wonder those were not selling!). It was purely a computer error...
The good news is.. it is fixed! so please take a moment to browse the pricing in the online store before your next order.. you may be pleasantly surprised!

Back in the Saddle - S&P Feed back in Stock!
WooHoo! After a several week pause in stocking, for cash flow reasons, we finally are Back in business with The Nation's best and first Non-GMO, Organic, Soy Free poultry - goat - pig feed!
There was a glitch in shipping, the first glitch we have had with this shipping company in over 2 years, but yes, it happened on this all important first restocking. Fortunately, by Gods Grace, the shipment arrived in Medford Sat AM, just in time for us to go pickup, and load for today's deliveries.
Please be aware, there is NEW PRICING, posted on the fridge in the store. Prices increased $2 to $3 per bag to cover the increased shipping costs. And keep in mind, all feed sales are cash or check on delivery at this point. No charges to account. For cash flow reasons we have need to run the sales from feed separately. Thanks for your understanding!
The good news is, with this new system in place (cash on delivery, no pay ahead, no account charges) and the increased prices, we should be able to meet current demand without going out of stock, and bring in some new products!
Check out the Cluckin Good Grubs, and Clucking Good Herbs! Both organic, non-gmo and produced in North America (not china!)

Half price sale on farm direct hogs!
Given our recent sudden changes (previous job post) and loss of cash flow, we have decided the best path forward is to immediately liquidate the hog herd. What I mean by that is... Tremendous savings to you! We are offering our hogs for sale, farm processed, as whole or half , at half price!
There are three ranges of size available:
Smaller
Regular market size
Breeder
This is an unprecedented price! $2.50 per pound hanging weight.
Processing began this week and will continue into next week until the herd is down to a manageable size.
This will not only provide immediate cash flow, but also lower the feed bill and allow for our land to rest. We can plant the pig pasture in a nice covercrop while the herd is small.
Now is a great time to take advantage of the deep savings. Half price doesn't happen often!
