For those of you near us, or within reasonable travel distance of us, we have about 50 golden comet layers looking for new homes! And we have some Rhode Island Red chickens who are about 11 months old as well available!

They just started laying, are great layers, and will lay great for several years. Just reducing the number we have, because 9 dozen eggs a day is a bit ridiculous if you are not taking them to markets 😆

A little update from Queen City Farm ❤️

After a full season of selling meat at farmers markets, we’ve made the difficult decision to step away from selling pastured meat directly to the public.

This decision didn’t come lightly. We’ve spent a lot of time looking back at the season, the hours involved, and what we want our life and farm to look like going forward. While we know there are different strategies we could try and ways we could continue to grow this side of the farm, we’ve realized that the time and effort it requires simply isn’t giving us the return that makes sense for our family.

More importantly, it’s taking away something we can’t get back — our time.

At the heart of it, our Australian Shepherd program and farming because we genuinely love it are where we want to put our energy. With our first baby arriving soon, we want our weekends to be spent together as a family, not constantly preparing for and attending markets.

So going forward, we’ll be returning to raising livestock primarily for ourselves, our family, and our friends. From time to time, we may also have whole or half animals available (since we are keeping all of our current livestock!), but we will no longer be regularly stocking or selling individual cuts of meat at farmers markets.

That doesn’t mean you’ve seen the last of the farm, though! One of our favorite parts of this entire journey has been sharing farm life with all of you through social media, and we absolutely plan to continue doing that. The animals, projects, successes, failures, chaos, and everyday life here will still be shared just like always. ❤️

We are incredibly grateful to every single person who bought from us, stopped by our booth, shared our posts, told a friend about us, or supported what we were building. We learned so much this season, met some wonderful people, and we’re genuinely glad we gave it a shot.

Sometimes growing means doing more, and sometimes it means realizing what matters most and choosing to do less.

Queen City Farm isn’t going anywhere. We’re just choosing to make it a little more ours again. ❤️

We finally reached the point where it made sense to switch our sheep over to round hay bales. It’s one of those milestones that reminds us the farm is growing. Round bales are huge, have a lot of hay in them, but if the sheep can’t eat them quickly enough they will mold. So now we finally can justify using them!

There’s just one small problem…

We don’t own the equipment to move them yet.

So, for now, Sam is the equipment. 💪😂

Farming is full of moments like this. You solve one problem, and another one pops up. Every step forward seems to come with a new challenge, but that’s just part of building something from the ground up.

Giving up has never been an option. We’ll keep figuring it out, one bale (and sore back) at a time and hope soon we can get a tractor to be able to do it!

“Grass-fed” doesn’t mean what most people think it means.

In fact, every cow and every lamb is grass-fed.

The label that tells you much more is grass-finished.

Grass-fed means the animal consumed grass during its life.

Grass-finished means it remained on forage until harvest rather than being transitioned to grain.

If you’ve never looked for that difference before, you’re not alone.

The recent investigation into a Costco chicken supplier is another reminder that industrial agriculture often prioritizes efficiency and profit over both animal welfare and the people buying the food. Investigators documented birds living in poor conditions, suffering from injuries, and raised in a system built around producing the most meat as quickly as possible. Costco has said it dropped the supplier, but the investigation also argues these issues reflect broader industry practices rather than one isolated farm.

This isn’t about attacking farmers. Most farmers care deeply about their animals. It’s about a production system that rewards volume, speed, and the lowest possible cost—often at the expense of the animal and, ultimately, the consumer.

At Queen City Farm, we believe there’s a better way. Our animals are raised on pasture, moved to fresh grass regularly, and given the time and space to express their natural behaviors. We don’t believe food should come from a system where animals are treated like production units.

Every purchase is a vote for the kind of agriculture you want to support. Thank you to everyone who chooses to support local farms that put stewardship, transparency, and animal welfare first.

🥚 Fresh Eggs This Weekend at Verona Vineyards!

We’ll have a limited supply of fresh farm eggs available this weekend at Verona Vineyards!

Our flock of 125+ young hens is just starting to lay, so we’re only bringing a 7-8 cartons for now. Over the next several weeks, production will continue to increase, and we’ll have many more eggs available.

See you this weekend! 🐓🌿

We’re excited to welcome two new additions to Queen City Farm! 🐑

These Katahdin and Dorper lambs are the newest members of our flock and will play an important role in helping us continue to grow our pasture-raised lamb program.

One question we often get is: Why aren’t they out with the rest of the sheep?

Whenever we bring new animals onto the farm, they spend time in quarantine before joining the main flock. Quarantine is one of the most important biosecurity practices we follow. During this time, we can:

• Monitor them closely for any signs of illness.
• Evaluate and address internal parasites if needed.
• Allow them time to adjust to their new environment with minimal stress.
• Help protect the health of the sheep already on our farm.

Even when animals come from reputable farms, quarantine is simply good livestock management. Taking a few extra weeks now helps keep our entire flock healthier in the long run.

We’re looking forward to getting these guys settled in and, once they’ve completed quarantine and are cleared, introducing them to the rest of the flock. Welcome to Queen City Farm!

After the farmers market wraps up, the work doesn’t stop—it just changes.

This afternoon’s job was moving our sheep onto fresh pasture. Rotational grazing is one of the most important things we do on the farm. It gives the sheep access to fresh, nutritious forage while allowing the pastures they’ve been grazing to rest and recover.

Healthy animals start with healthy soil. By giving the land time to regenerate, we encourage stronger grass growth, healthier root systems, and better pasture for the next rotation. It’s a simple practice that benefits both our flock and the land we’re privileged to care for.

Markets are just a small part of what goes into raising quality food. The hours before and after are filled with chores like these—and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Thank you to Verona Vineyards for having us the last three days!
