Pastured poultry
Our organic pastured poultry was well received this year, thank you very much
to everyone for supporting us! We are currently sold out for the remainder of the
season. Please check back in March to see the schedule for 2009. We will
be continuing to raise pastured poultry that are 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. The chickens usually dress
out from 4 to 5 pounds each. The final pick-up dates for the 2008 birds will be:
- September 21st
- October 26th
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.
