Turkeys on the move
We believe raising turkeys out on pasture where they can graze and forage is the absolute best. BUT, it takes many steps to get them there and back and an eager, agile crew makes the job easier.
RECIPE: Crock Pot Pork
Here's another great recipe shared across the market booth table from friends who love a good meal. I feel the best recipes are more like "concepts" rather than instructions. They give you lots of permission to experiment!
RECIPE: Peperonata with Bacon
We love eating seasonally, and right now, peppers and tomatoes are in abundance! Add some garlic, onions, and bacon...voila! Our awesome manager at the Thursday Market shared this recipe with me. It is SO GOOD I want to pass it along.
RECIPE: Summertime Watermelon Marinade
Summer time meals are best prepared out doors! The kids are running through the sprinkler, the picnic table is ready for everyone to come and eat, and you've got the grill under control. Try this watermelon marinade recipe the next time you'll be a backyard chef.
The pasture is better when we graze together
Our rams spend most of the year in a group SEPARATED from the rest of the sheep herd. We like to have them graze along side their cow friends because the two different animals prefer to eat different plants. When they graze together they consume the pastures more evenly. No one plant gets overgrazed OR under-grazed. Our fields stay lush and diverse longer into the season. As farmers, we call it "mixed species grazing," and we think it is a wise approach to keep the grass growing, which keeps the microbes in the soil active, which keeps the nutrition from the earth cycling to the plants, which keeps the animals healthy, which is all part of the magical process of eco-farming and why we love what we do! There is a never ending cycle happening here between soil, plant, animal and atmosphere. We try to learn from it, and facilitate its health however we can!
