Green Pastures.

It's an overcast day here today and a bit humid. We have had regular rain and the pastures are lush. The cattle are out grazing as nature intended. When we say grass-fed beef, this is what we are referring to. Cows roaming lush green pasture eating grass to their hearts content.

Fancy Feet.

These visitors to the Hiday Farm came prepared in proper footwear that was just, well, pretty fancy! We couldn't help but notice their bedecked tootsies as they hopped on the wagon for a hay ride out to the pumpkin fields.

Farmers Markets

Pictured left to right is Adam, Dan, Aaron, and Alex Hiday. 

This will be a busy Saturday for the Hiday Farm. We will be attending both the Eastern Market and the Texas Corners farmers markets. We will have Beef, Pork and Chicken with us. Alex and Aaron plan on being at Texas Twp. while Adam and I will be heading to Detroit.

Warm Fuzzies.

The spring open house at the farm is sure to have recent hatchlings that the kids adore. I was thinking this little duckling should be named "Cuddles", as this farm visitor was enamored with it and it seemed to enjoy every bit of the attention.

Farm Visitors.

It was great to see everyone come out to the farm and explore! We want our customers to visit and see for themselves how we operate.

Whether planting young pumpkin seedlings,  getting cozy with ducklings or just discovering new surroundings, it was an enjoyable day for all. We take our commitment to provide you with wholesome food very seriously and we welcome your questions and comments.

Open House Today!

The Spring Open House is planned for today! Come on out to the farm  with the kids or grandkids and offer them a chance to plant their very own pumpkin patch. Visit the critters, take a hay ride and enjoy some refreshments with our farm family. The Open House runs today from 2 to 4 pm. We will have some product available for sale as well. Please call ahead and let us know if you are attending. Hiday Farm (517) 765-2268.
