The snow is still flying, but Spring is here and soon the snow will be replaced by vibrantly growing forages and beautiful flowers and insects abound! The new chicks are hatching and lots of people are getting piglets this spring. I'm getting more optimistic and excited about the local food opportunities all the time. Each year more and more people are raising their own livestock and selling direct to consumers, thus skipping the middle man. This improves transparency, which increases customer confidence and builds a stronger, more independent community. I love it! Especially with the ever increasing amount of chemicals and bioengineered products in conventional feed, such as medications, GMO's, and mono-cropped ingredients. More consumers are looking for meat, eggs and milk products, which are produced with feed that doesn't come from the big feed mills who are encouraged through regulation to make feeds using these unnatural methods and suspicious ingredients. Our feed membership is going strong with many new members all the time. People keep telling us how great our feed is and how well their animals are doing as a result. Thanks for the feedback! In addition to our regular hog, hen and dairy cow feed - we are offering chick starter this year which contains wild caught fish meal, fine grind organic forages and grains, Fertrell minerals and vitamins, organic black strap molasses and sprouted and roasted barley.

Our eggs have improved in texture and color and it's great knowing there are no chemical residues in the feed like you find with all the conventional feed you purchase in the feed stores."
