Preparing Our Pastures for Winter (+ This Week's Meat, Dairy & Veggies)

As temperatures keep dropping at our farm, we're steadily preparing for the winter season. Our cows' pasture is being extended so they have more room to graze. Did you know that even under snow, cows can continue pasturing? It’s important to continue pasturing them to maximize their nutrients — we'll also feed them hay when snow rolls in.

Pre-order online for in-store or curbside pickup or stop on by and shop in person at our farm store! We have a great selection of grass-fed and pastured meats from our farm, local produce, delicious A2 protein dairy, pantry goods and plenty more.
