Processing Time.

After weeks of browsing pasture and growing to size, it was time for another batch of meat chickens to be processed and they are now ready for purchase. Chickens, as well as other meat products are available on Wednesday evenings during the CSA pick up from 5-5:30 pm. You can also call the farm at (517) 765-2268 for pick up at your convenience.

Home Grown Chicken.

Rest assured that chickens from Hiday Farm have led a very different life than their factory farmed counterparts. Free to stroll about in the tall grass, they spend their days catching bugs, wandering the pasture, and stretching out in the sun. Breathing in fresh air with plenty of room to roam, a Hiday chicken is a healthy chicken. No antibiotics needed! 

 

Wind, Wind and more Wind

Boy, is it windy out this evening. It was a very nice day for pick-up. It is week 12 of the vegetable CSA. For many of you who are purchasing beef you will be getting a call soon. Many of the beeves are ready to go and are booked for the processor.

This Saturday we will be at the Farmers Market in Texas Twp. Our goal is to be up in Detroit on the 18th. and on the 19th we will have a booth at the Tillers Harvest Fest, located in Scotts, Mi.(Not sure if we will have product or just an information booth at Tillers) At Texas Twp. we will have Beef, Chicken and a limited amount of Pork.

Hope to see you at one of these events.

Week 11

Well, week elevens pick-ups are complete. With the Holiday weekend coming up, week 12's schedule will have a small change in it. Monday Sept. 6th's pick-up will be moved to Tuesday the 7th. Same time and place.

Looks like I am going to get wet doing chores today, but that is OK. Things are dry and we really needed this rain.

Week 10

What a busy week. We completed week ten of the vegetable CSA. After two days of working on and off on the International tractor, we finally got it running. It was a frustrating job.

Picked up several of the pigs being processed and I have been sorting so we can get it distributed.

Thursday, I gave a farm tour to Hollis and Ian Smith. Hollis and his wife Kim own Kim's Produce in Detroit. They carry some of our meat products. Hollis brought thier young son Ian to see the farm. Not too many cows and pigs in Detroit. It was a fun visit. They also left with a bunch of product.

Mowed several acres of hay. After fixing several broken blades that I broke on the very first round in the field. I got it all mowed and hope to get it baled early next week.

No wonder the summer seems to be flying by. Can't think of anything else I would rather do though.
