Current Farm News

The 3 week old chickens went out to pasture last evening. At dusk, the small chickens were picked up carefully by hand and put into our old reliable chicken crates by our good natured farm employees. Using an old flat bed wagon, we trundled them across the road and into their pasture huts. The huts are strickly for shade and shelter. The chickens were out cruising the pasture bugs and grasses by early dawns light. It's so good to see them out and about.

I ran across a good raw milk article by Mike Adams. He is the editor of a web site called Natural News. Check it out.

Organic Valley announces it will drop farmers caught selling raw milk

The Board of Directors of the CROPP Cooperative (Organic Valley) notified it's farmers the last week of June that effective January 1, 2011, any farmer/patron caught diverting milk for raw milk sales will be dropped from the cooperative. In a time of oversupply of organic milk, there are few options for the farmer to change to a different milk processor. Visit the Organic Valley web site to express your opinion.
