The summer just flew by! I can't believe it's already September. The weather is cooling - it's in the 60's in the morning slowly building to the 80's in the afternoon. The acorns are falling - conking everyone on the head. The days are just starting to shorten. This is my favorite time of year.
We took the bulk of the pigs to processing in June, one remained (he wouldn't get in the trailer!) so this morning I took him in - boy did he get fat between June and September! My abattoir asked me please not to grow them that big anymore. That portly fellow, Mr. Bacon, was purchased "on the hoof" for custom butcher but we have plenty of pork in our sale freezer if you're looking for chops and roasts.
For those of you who normally get your Thanksgiving turkeys from us we won't have them available this year for the first time in at least 10 years. We had heavy predation on our poults and very nearly lost them all. We also didn't hatch as many geese as usual so I am already sold out of holiday goose.
Chick and hatching egg sales have ended for the 2021 season but we’re currently offering expedited pick-up of adult birds. So you don't have to reserve them for the 3rd Sunday, just make an appointment for soonest pick-up.
Most of the birds are molting right now so egg laying has slacked off while they're trying to make new feathers. Everyone needs a break now and then!
