The chickens are coming, the chickens are coming!! Many of you have been asking when we will have chicken breasts, thighs, and wings again (Mariah has been too). While the cold weather had delayed our chick starting,  we are super excited that we now have a batch out on pasture that will be ready in about a month.

We will be offering our first ever flock bundle that will include chicken breasts, thighs, wings, and drumsticks along with 15 minute recipes and maybe even a bonus cut of chicken that we have never offered before…..

After we harvest the birds we will offer extra special savings on the bundles for the first series of pickups. By offering the chicken in bundles, we won’t have the cost of freezer storage like we do for the chicken sold through the winter, so we want to pass the savings on to you!

We will keep you updated on the status of the bundles-  so keep an eye out  for those in your inbox!

As I mentioned above, the cold spring has slowed several things down… including the grass growth. After I finish typing this I will head out to the cows to turn them out to pasture (they have been eating hay).

I am excited about this and they are too! Our planned grazing system restores the health of the soil and plant community (not to mention how great it is for the animals and wildlife), I am always super excited to begin again each spring.

As the animals go out to pasture there is something truly incredible and awe inspiring about the synergistic and symbiotic systems of nature. Often I will pause for just a moment to say a prayer of thanks and enjoy the wonder of God's creation.

We hope you all are able to get out and enjoy the spring weather and we hope to have many of you out to the farm this summer to see firsthand where your nutrient rich food is being raised.

We will keep you posted as the season unfolds about a few official farm days and tours, but as always, if you are in our area (the middle of nowhere) feel free to give us a call and stop in. We would love to show you around!

Spring blessings to you all!

Your Farmers,

-David, Mariah, and little Judah

P.S. Check out the photos below to see what we also love about the spring....

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!
