Farm Store
Welcome to our online Farm Store. Here you will find a general list of all the products we have for sale during the various seasons, along with a monthly list of what's available now. We provide only a brief listing here of each product, but much more detail is available on each product's particular page. Those pages are listed as hyperlinks for each product group. If you have any questions, please contact us and we'll be happy to provide additional information.
What's Available in:
December, 2011
Here at the bottom of the year, we have sold out of many items, and have scaled back on our farm production for the year. We're taking our yearly "breather" before the push to start again in early 2012. Nevertheless, we do have a variety of products for sale:
* We almost always have tasty free-range eggs of various colors (white, light brown, dark brown and green). Each carton of one dozen eggs offers a mix of colors. Our hens are on pasture during the summer and large open pens during the winter, eating a natural mix of grains, greens, insects and natural supplements. Our birds live long, healthy, happy chicken lives. You can taste the difference in our eggs!
* We always offer pre-mixed raw diets for your dogs and/or cats, in 1/2 pound and 1 pound packages. This is the same diet we feed to our hard-working livestock guardian dogs and barn patrol cats. They're important helpers and this diet has kept them lively and healthy for a very long time. We base our diet on a variety of well-respected raw diet advocates, primarily Dr. Richard Pitcairn but also including Pat McKay's work and the collective findings of other BARF diet practioners. We love what we've seen in our carnivores with this diet, and we'd love the opportunity to help you with your pets as well.
* Our farm-topic books, magazines and farming calendar are always available via our website. We have an extensive Bookstore with dozens of book titles for topics including:
** Cattle Books, with information for either the aspiring beef or dairy producer. Whether you're just starting out or have been raising cattle awhile, you'll find books here that will show you something new.
** Draft Horse Books for the person who wants to learn how to put horses back to work on the farm or in the woods. Or perhaps simply enjoys reading about those who have.
** Pig Books. Swine are one of the small farm's best friends, providing cost-effective meat production. These books will show readers how to make the most of that potential, in cost effective ways.
** Goat Books. Goats are a very popular candidate for small scale suburban and rural landowners, and even urban homesteaders. Meat, milk, fiber, and character! These books will show how to select the right goats, whatever your goal.
** Sheep Books for the aspiring flock owner. Sheep offer wool, meat and milk to the small-scale producer or homesteader. These books show how to maintain a healthy, productive, profitable flock of your very own.
** Poultry, Waterfowl and Turkey Books. Many folks want a small flock of their own, regardless of where they live. Poultry can provide meat, eggs, profit and/or enjoyment for the small flock owner. These books will show you how.
** Rabbit Books will guide the first-time rabbit owner through housing, feeding, breeding and grooming. Rabbits are an ideal small livestock animal for either urban, suburban or rural residents. These books will show you how to start, or improve, your rabbit herd.
** Beekeeping Books. Most folks know that honeybees are facing unprecedented challenges right now. Few folks know that they can do something about it. Amateur beekeeping has never been easier, more enjoyable, more profitable, or more important than now. These books will help you get started, or make better use of your own hives, regardless of where you life.
** Hydroponics Books explore the realm of soilless plant cultivation for both the hobbyist and the market grower. This innovative approach can integrate well into either homestead food production or commercial market production.
** Gardening Books, suitable for anyone wishing to grow their own food. Whether you're on the farm, in the suburbs or living downtown, you can grow at least some of your own foods. These books will show you how, regardless of your particular growing conditions.
** Animal and Farm-Related Coloring Books, which make wonderful gifts for young farming enthusiasts. They also make great teaching aids for those trying to teach youngsters about where their food comes from, and how farming forms the backbone of American society.
** Hydroponics for Market Growers, a magazine we wrote and published for 18 months in the early 2000's. The magazine's articles were written for small scale market growers who wish to use hydroponics as part of their operations.
Our Farm Products Make Practical, Unique Gifts!
Any of our products, particularly our books and publications, would make wonderful gifts for farming buffs, farming students, locavores and even professional farmers and gardeners. We hope you browse our Bookstore and Farm Calendar pages for your 2011 holiday gift-giving needs.
Products Available In the Next Few Months
Our product offerings come and go with the seasons, and we're already looking forward to our offerings for Spring 2012. This is an overview of what we'll have coming within the next three months:
* We will begin offering cool-season fresh produce and veggie and herb starts again in early 2012. This includes salad greens, herbs, brassica starts and lettuce starts. The produce will be available starting in early March. The brassica starts and herb starts will be available starting in April.
* We'll have our very first batch of farm-raised pork available in March/April 2012. Our piglets are being raised in outdoor pens where they can root to their hearts' content. They are growing excellent hams, shoulders, loin, ribs and bacon. We've already had excellent interest in our first piglets offering and we only have one piglet un-spoken for. If you are interested in buying pork from this first batch, please contact us quickly. They're going fast!
* We are working on a small-scale forest thinning operation and may have green whole logs and green craft wood available in the early months of 2012. Most of that lumber production is already earmarked for projects here on the farm, but we will have some available for purchase.
* We have expanded our rabbit herd and will begin offering breeding rabbit trios in early 2012. We will also be offering whole rabbit for dog and cat food purposes in that same timeframe.
If you are interested in any of our products, we encourage you to please Contact Us for more information.
