Happy Summer! Just a quick note to say that we’re still managing a scaled-back farm environment while I’m committed to military orders in California and travelling back to DC when I can. Mike has been promoted to Head Hen Herder and is trying to juggle that with his full-time federal job. However, I did a small amount of hatching this spring which resulted in enough livestock to sustain our current breeding programs and a little extra we can make available to you. |
My Muscovy moms are such good broodies and mama’s and they’re simply not going to stand to be deterred from hatching large batches of babies… lol! We currently have enough to fill our freezer and supply new hens to the “on-staff” population plus what these hard working ladies are still hatching out: we’ve got 7 muscovy babies on the ground that are about 3 weeks old and two more mama’s on nests that *should* hatch in the next 2 and 3 weeks.
We had a bumper hatch of 30+ Welsh Harlequin ducklings last week that we’ll be making available for sale.
Late summer/autumn timeframe we should have several started pullets from our necked-necked Turken breeding and some barnyard mixes. Stay tuned for that.
We decided not to raise any meat birds for sale this year so there will not be any sales of freshly harvested poultry. We do have a limited quantity of pork cuts in the freezer (butts and shoulders mostly).
You can reserve your babies here for pick up on farm
The order form has changed over time and will not let me set pick ups for every day in one month. If you're having difficulty placing an order, please send me an email and we'll make an appointment for you to pick up: [email protected]
As always, thank you for your support of our tiny farms conservation effort!
