Our little cattle herd moved out onto some new grass today, just in time for a beautiful rainbow to show up. 🌈 We are getting all set up to start offering raw cows milk, as well as grass fed beef, next summer.

Today, farmer Erica helped out a client in Sperryville, working on installing electric fencing to keep critters out of the bee hives!

This weekend, we are offering our customers the chance to “Round up for Pumpernickel”! Pumpernickel is a sweet old lady beagle at the Culpeper County Animal Shelter that has been through some tough surgeries to repair a bad hernia, and some emergency aftercare. The shelter needs help to cover her substantial medical bill, and to be able to continue to help dogs like her.

When you make a purchase at our market locations or on the farm, we will ask if you’d like to round up to the nearest dollar. All proceeds will go directly to our shelter fund, and on Monday, we will take our donation directly to the Culpeper County Animal shelter. Thank you for helping us make the world a little bit better of a place for dogs like Pumpernickel! 🐕❤️

Our friends over at Charming Hill Farm in Amissville are hiring. Cute baby animals abound, farmer Matt’s a pretty cool guy, and it would be a great opportunity for a teen, or someone looking for summer work (and beyond).

June and Summer say this humidity is for the birds! If you look closely, you can see June’s wider face and stockier build. She’s 1/4 Angus so will be a chunkier girl than her half-sister, Summer. Both got Daddy Alonso’s red coat, though, so from a distance they still look a lot alike.

A little girl for Anna, on this extra steamy first day of summer. It’s also my mom’s birthday, and she says Summer is a great name. She and her half sister June, born to Molly on June 1st, are the next generation of mama cows for our little cattle herd.

How delicious (and beautiful!) does this look?! One of our awesome regulars picked up some of our pork Garlic Bratwurst today, and shared this photo of the one-pan dinner they’re having tonight. We will be at our usual spot at Archwood Green Barns Farmer's Market tomorrow- come see us and make your own delicious masterpiece.

We finally got our first goat meat back from the butcher. This is just a small test batch, but we will have more coming next year. I will be contacting the folks that reached out first, and if there is any more available, we will have it at the markets this coming weekend. Goat is leaner than beef, and is actually the #1 most consumed red meat in the world!

Congratulations to Molly, and welcome to the world, little June! Mama is a Jersey/Angus, and daddy is our American Milking Devon bull, Alonso. June will stay here to help build our dual-purpose cattle herd.

As you might suspect, kidding time is a bit chaotic! We are up to 27 kids from 16 does, with only two more left to go. We’ve been lucky this year and gotten quite a few more female babies than we have males. (17 females, 10 males) Soon, I’ll be posting pics of the babies that are available to go to new homes (most of them, but we will retain a few to maintain/slightly increase our herd size). In the meantime, here’s a picture of our girl Nutmeg with her two daughters. She was the one doe I had hoped would have a buck, which is why she had two does 😜
