Now that our turkeys are big and sturdy enough to handle the elements and avoid predators, we’ve opened the doors to their mobile coop.
Each day, they enjoy more space, sunshine, and natural forage— alongside a custom non-GMO feed blend that we grind in-house.
Our farmers recently updated the feed recipe to better support their health, and the results are looking great.
Protected by perimeter netting and moved to fresh pasture three times a week, our turkeys are thriving this year!

Happy National Cow Appreciation Day! While the holiday may have started as a fast-food promotion, we think it’s a great chance to recognize just how important beef cattle—especially those raised regeneratively—are to our lives and landscapes. Regeneratively raised cattle provide nutrient-dense food that supports human health, offering high-quality protein, essential vitamins, and healthy fats like omega-3s and CLA.
Cows also play a powerful role in healing the environment. Through rotational grazing and thoughtful land management, well-managed cattle can build nutrient-dense soil, boost biodiversity, sequester carbon, and even help reverse desertification. When done right, raising cattle isn’t extractive—it’s restorative.
These animals also support strong local economies by helping sustain small farms, local butchers, and regional food systems. And of course, cattle have been part of the human story for thousands of years, shaping cultures and communities across time.
Today, we’re grateful for the animals, the land, and the people who work hard every day to care for both.

What do we do to keep pigs cool during a summer heat wave? We move them into the woods! The pigs really enjoy the cool shade, and also get to enjoy rooting for bugs and other treats in the soil.

Join us at the farm this Saturday at 10am for a free farm tour with Jamie Ager, co-founder of Hickory Nut Gap. We offer these tours four times per year as a way to connect with our community, share our farming practices, and offer a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to raise animals on pasture using regenerative methods. Whether you`re a longtime supporter or visiting for the first time, you`re invited to walk the land, ask questions, and see firsthand how your food is grown.
Bonus: Stick around after the tour and enjoy a free 100% grassfed beef hot dog on us!
Please note that the Farm Store will be closed on Friday in observance of the 4th of July.
