Follow the link on this page for a brochure for our fall/winter CSA!

We just moved the chickens to a new spot in the field. After they have been in one spot for a couple weeks they have chomped down all the grass and there's not much left that is exciting to them. This is of course one of the main reasons we have chickens - so they can clean up weedy areas. So when we move them to a new spot and let them out of the coops they all run and and scatter happily and start scratching and pecking at new ground. Yesterday we moved them onto the block where the garlic was this year. The garlic was mulched with hay so they love scratching through it to find worms and seeds.
 Lately it seems that half our lives are taken up with picking beans
