Pastured poultry
We are raising and selling pastured poultry again this year that is
fed organic grains. The pastured part means we move the portable pens to
a fresh patch of grass at least once a day, if not more. This gives the
birds fresh greens and bugs every day. We butcher on site. This way the
birds do not have to be transported before they are slaughtered. The
meat is great and you definitely know what went into them and where they
came from. Note: due to the recent increase in the cost of organic feed we need to
raise the price of the chickens to $4.00 per pound. The chickens usually dress
out from 4 to 5 pounds each. Pick-up dates will be:
- July 8th
- September 13th
- October 11th
CSA
Thank you to all of last years CSA members! This year Nick Tomalsini
and Oregrownians, who grew for restaurants and the farmers market from
Upper Valley Farms last year, will be taking over the CSA as well.
These guys grow amazingly tasty and superiorly nutritious fruits and
veggies. Not to mention, the best salad mix this side of the Mississippi.
Please go to the Oregrownian web site
to let them know if you are interested in being a member this year.
Apples
This year our apples will be in their 2nd year of transitioning to organic.
Harvest date is in early October. Please check back later in the season
to see about availability of apples.
