Posted by Julia Smith on Jan 06, 2016

Still have that Christmas tree kicking around? Our goats would be happy to take it off your hands. They'll strip it of all it's needles then we'll chip what's left and use it for filling up the muddy spots on the farm. So bring your tree down to the farm this Saturday between 10-2 and drop it off for free with any purchase from our farm stand. In case you need any more incentive, you'll get to meet Holly, the baby goat and who doesn't want to kick off a new year with a baby goat?

Pork Butchery Workshop

Posted by Julia Smith on Nov 25, 2015

This small, hands-on class will walk you through breaking down a whole side of pork. This is a great opportunity to learn some butchery skills but you'll also learn about the different cuts of pork and how to make the most of the whole animal. Once the whole side has been butchered, we'll divide it into 4 parts so each participant can take home their share.
