We have a lot going on with the farm businesses. Yes, we said BUSINESSES. Plural. The farm is expanding into several areas. We are opening a restaurant and market where customers can support local farmers!! We will be highlighting a menu that focuses on locally sourced foods. These locally sourced products will also be for sale in the market. Think - Farmer’s Market: every single day! We are also adding a FOOD TRUCK!! What?! Yes! We have had the opportunity to purchase a food trailer and will be getting it up and running in the coming months.

We’ve recently added a new Heritage Breed of pig. Gloucestershire Old Spots have been on our radar for a while now. We were finally able to add 4 gilts and 4 barrows. We love the grow out and quality of the GOS meat. They are docile, like the Kunekune, but do root a little more than Kunes. We have several areas that need attention and we will utilize the GOS to root up vines and prepare the ground for sowing seeds in the fall. We like the idea of growing our Heritage breed pork. The Kunekunes grow out in 12-18 months. The slow growth allows for an exception marbling quality of the meat. The GOS grow out in 9-12 months. They still have a great marbling quality and grow out on grass, like the kunekunes, and their meat is high in Omega 3. Utilizing both of these breeds will allow us to bring meat to our customers with the consistency and quality we desire. We are still producing Kunekunes for breeding pairs, pets and pork. The GOS just brings another option to the farm.

Another upcoming venture is Agritourism! We are adding an Airbnb and HipCamp site to the farm. Guests will be able to stay onsite and experience the farm from the inside. Accommodations will range from campers to campsites with access to our Bathhouse. We hope to have this up and running for the Fall tourist season!

So, that’s a little bit of what is coming! Thank you for stopping by and following along with our journey!
