What is new?

I always wondered what people really want from us (farmers) this day and age. Do they want good product that might take a week or so to get or would they like a so so product that they can get in a day. In this time in the world things need to be fast and ready right away, but in reality not everything can be that way. The cows that we are raising, it takes time for them to grow to a standard that we feel is perfect. People need to understand that we are the ones doing everything around this huge farm and we can do so much in a 24 hour day. Good product takes time, and hopefully we can give you that product and you can enjoy it to a standard of what you think beef should taste like.

We have finally finished silage which took about a week and half to get all finished and put into the silage pit. Thanks to Bob Engle and his crew for coming in and chopping for us, it went much faster, We love helping other farmers and collaborating with each other shows local support for each. We were able to cover to pit yesterday with the help of our hired man Jake, who helps out big time around here during the summer. We also had the help from Zachary, a hired man from another farm which made the job go by extremely fast. Thanks to all the guys and gals that made this week of harvest go by with a breeze.

All the animals are doing well, the turkeys and chickens are growing so fast I honestly think they grew over night! Markets last week were a great success and we love seeing our regulars at the market.

We are off to Seattle tomorrow to deliver meat to ship up to Alaska! hope you all enjoy your meat!

Well im off to make lunch for the family as they come in.

Have a wonderful Wednesday.
