May Newsletter

May 29, 2018

If there were two words to describe the month of May, they would be “eager expectation.” Those words sum up so much of the month it is remarkable. But where to begin….

First, the eager expectation of warmer spring weather and grass! Thankfully, that expectation was fulfilled. Though, somewhere in all that we kind of missed spring and jumped right into summer.

Second, the eager expectation of new lambs. Their arrival is one of my favorite times of the year. There is nothing like watching a brand new lamb enter the world and begin to explore (somewhere around day three). By day ten, they are playing king of the mountain on piles of rocks. It is incredibly enjoyable to behold.

Next, the eager expectation of pasture chicken that the late spring delayed… well, only until This Friday that is.

Lastly, we are eagerly expecting the arrival of the newest member of our farm family. Did you catch that? Eagerly. Expecting. As many of you know our baby affectionately dubbed 2.0 (because we decided to wait to see if baby is a girl or a boy) was due May 23rd. Apparently 2.0 is plenty comfortable just where he or she is and isn’t in a big hurry to leave. So, we are eagerly expecting (no pun intended).

May also means a few popular items are back in stock! The Sirloin Tip Steak, Sirloin Steak, Rib Roast, Rump Roast, and Chicken Feet are all back in stock.

And…. Chicken cutup bundles will be available Friday morning!!! So watch for my email (I’ll send it out right when they are available!

We also wanted to say how blessed we feel to know you! It is the highlight of our month when we go out to drops and get to see you! Your words of encouragement, questions, and vibrant families are such a blessing. We are so thankful we have gotten to meet many of you and we look forward to seeing you each time. Many farmers we know complain about “consumers.” Our response- those “consumers” are our friends, our support network and  part of the team that makes restoration agriculture possible. Thank you!

We hope to show many of you the farm this summer.

Your Farmers and Friends,

-David, Mariah, Toddler Judah, and 2.0

Our Hens Today

What did you think?One of my favorite things about the hens is just how friendly they are. They run up just to see what's new and haha to see if I scared up any bugs. It's not just great for the hens and the land though its also great for the families who enjoy our eggs. The result of this truly pasture raised regenerative model for raising hens is some incredibly nutrient rich eggs! Our growing family eats eggs for breakfast nearly every day but in spite of our 5 children's ravenous appetites for our eggs right now we have a seasonal abundance (it happens almost every Spring) and so we are offering  Free Eggs For A FriendThey are completely free.All we ask is that you don't use them for yourself, but instead give them away to family or friends that are really interested in nourishing their family well. It's a win win. They get to enjoy the best nutrient rich eggs available and get a connection to their very own farmer!Give Free Eggs For A Friend ==>NOTE (If you are currently utilizing our home delivery option for getting our pasture raised eggs since you can't order them singly, if you give one to bless another family just email myfarmers@fedfromthefarm.com and we can credit your account for you :)Thank you for supporting and sharing about our pasture based farm. It is an honor to serve you from our farm's bounty!
