FREE RANGE/PASTURED POULTRY
For 2011, we are looking at raising some Freedom Rangers as broilers
We will also be raising a limited number of Orlopp Bronze turkeys for Christmas
PASTURED PORK
We raise Berkshire/Tamworth crosses and will have pork available beginning in fall 2011.
GRASS FED YAK
The yak is a livestock animal very well suited to our climate. They eat 1/3 of what a similar size beef cow would. They browse like a goat. They also give us fibre for spinning.
POULTRY EGGS
Our birds are housed overnight in chicken houses and released early in the morning for true free ranging all over the farmyard. They are kept with the males so the majority of our eggs are fertilized. We hatch out numerous clutches each year to replenish our older stock. We keep the utility layers for 2-3 seasons before using them as stewing birds. Our heritage breeds are kept on as breeding stock long past their laying peak.
In the depths of winter we do add red heat lamps to keep the birds more comfortable. We refrain from using white lights to stimulate their laying and allow to go through a natural molt cycle.
