Little Bit (ironically, the largest doe in our herd!) finally gave up the last hostages. One buck, and one doe. That brings our final total up to 42 babies- 24 does and 18 bucks. Know anyone that needs a goat or 12?! 😉

The official tally is now 11 bucks, 10 does. That’s right, we’ve already doubled the number of kids since the last update! Lots of triplets this year, good mamas!

We are up to 10 babies so far, from six of our does. 4 doelings (baby girls) and 6 bucklings (baby boys)… so we need some good juju to turn the tide in our favor! 15 more mamas still left to have their kids, so plenty of time to make up the deficit in baby girls. 🩷

Baby goat season is nearly here! Have a look at some of our kidding pens, and guess who you think will be first to have their kids this year. Yesterday was the first possible date we could have kids, based on when Domino and Gingerbread went to visit the girls last fall, so we are expecting babies any time now.

Sweet first-time mama sheep Kaley gave us a strapping young ram lamb yesterday. She’s doing a great job being a mama, and thankfully held off until after the worst weather passed! Once things dry up a bit, mama and baby will head back out to the pasture with the other sheep. For now, they’re enjoying the good life in the safe, warm barn. In just over a month, our baby goats will start arriving too.

An unexpected snowy surprise… Porchetta the Tamworth sow had a litter of seven pretty little red piglets today. She’s a very good mama and has them all tucked up in the straw, where they lay against her to stay warm (she was out having a quick dinner when I snapped the photo). We’ll give her plenty more straw to make an even fluffier bed for the upcoming frigid weather.

Meet Porch-Etta James, our newest member of the farm family. She’s a 4 year old Tamworth sow that came (with a few friends) to be the start of an experiment- crossing our American Guinea Hogs with Tamworth to see if we can get some larger, faster-growing pigs with the same delicious flavor and fat we have been seeing from the Guineas. Our wide-open pastures are new to her, but she has already taken well to hanging out with the cows, and comes running for her supper when the ATV comes around. She and the other sow that came with her (clever name pending!), as well as all of the rest of the girls, will meet our boar this month, and we will hopefully have piglets coming in April/May.

Wicket’s on the job today, helping mom back the trailer in to drop pigs off at the butcher. We should have a full restock of pork in two weeks- ham, bacon, breakfast sausage, loin roasts for your holiday table, as well as chops, shoulder roasts, and our other sausage flavors.

Alright friends, we have about a dozen of our soy-free, pasture-raised, non-GMO turkeys left. Get one now if you think you might want one for Thanksgiving or Christmas! Most are around 13-14 pounds, with a few larger. Our online store will show you what we have left, and you can choose to pickup from the farm, or one of our market locations.

If you placed a deposit on a turkey from us this year, check your email (maybe also your spam folder). We are now accepting orders from our customers with reservations.

We do still have a few more turkeys available, but we won’t know what sizes until after the reservations are all filled. Stay tuned later this week for orders to open up to the public!
