I’ll cut to the chase here but hope you’ll continue reading beyond: Chicken, pork and sausages are back in stock, and there’s more to come. (Click here to order.) We have always tried to align our protein availability with the main farmers market and CSA Farm Share seasons to be sure you have access to […]
Having never been thrust into a global pandemic before, I can’t say for sure, but it seems to me that we have the opportunity to re-work the system while it’s shut down. Many of us have said at one time or another: “I wish the world would just stop for a day while I get […]
The calendar says mid-May, but the farm feels like mid-March. We were sorely tested last weekend with a record-setting, below-freezing, nighttime temps. This was a terrible cold snap so late into spring. Derby Day has been the gold standard of the time to plant the summer garden for generations, but not this year. Mother Nature […]
The first batch of broiler chickens came back from the processor this week, merely eight weeks after they arrived at Elmwood Stock Farm via the post office. Rearing chickens for meat is a seasonal operation for us, since they live most of their lives outdoors and are not well outfitted to handle cold, wet springs. […]
With our PPP (Personal Protection Plan) woven through our operational systems, we are continuing about the business of growing good food. John seems to be pretty much on schedule with spring planting. The lambs are hilarious to watch running and jumping and racing each other around the shade wagon. The pigs are enjoying all the […]
Mac’s story this week is the last one he wrote before Covid-19 came to town. While you’re healthy at home, we’ll diverge from the conversation at hand for a bit and show you around the farm. When movement restrictions are eased, we look forward to having you out to see for yourself. The Seed Room […]
Out here on the banks of the Elkhorn, life seems normal. Crop and cattle rotations are complementary to one another. Other than needing to sow some veggie seeds and move some fences, this solar-powered-food farm is set to run pretty much by itself. Cows calve and ewes lamb in the spring, timed to match the […]
January 13-19, 2020 Thanks for signing up for Elmwood Stock Farm’s 2020 winter CSA program. Most of you are “year-round” members, and we very much appreciate your vote of confidence in choosing where you want to source your food. We do take your commitment seriously. With your support of the farm, we can take on […]
December 16-22, 2019 As this is the last distribution of 2019, it’s again time to thank you for your loyalty to good food, and please know that I am sincere. Knowing you are excited about gathering your family’s sustenance for the week, along with being at the right place at the right time for collecting […]
December 2-8, 2019 While our family was saying the blessing before Thanksgiving Dinner, I kept one eye open and respectfully admired the sustenance that lay before me. It was all there: turkey, dressing, gravy, mashed potatoes, spinach something or another, kale salad, Kay’s scalloped oysters, fresh fruit, and both a fork and spoon above the […]
