It’s been a pretty exciting week here on the homestead, filled with ducklings, energetic turkey teenagers, fish, and some silly homestead dogs. All in all, a lot of action and a lot of fun.

Our last batch of ducklings for the year arrived! This batch is unique for us, and it’s made up of half Pekins and half Golden Layer ducks, with a couple of oddballs mixed in. Read on for more information about the cutest duckling in the brooder!

Also, don’t forget that fall planting season is here! Check out our availability below and talk to us about scheduling an edible landscaping consultation to assess your property and help plan your edible landscape! Together we can make it happen.

Where We’ll Be This Week!

This week you can find us this week at one market location:

Chicken Skins Are Back!

Two weeks ago, when we debuted one of our scrumptious new products—chicken skin bacon (also called chicken skin chips), we sold out pretty quickly. We’re happy to announce that chicken skins are back in stock this week! So if you missed out a few weeks ago, come and find us tomorrow for your chance to get crunchy.

Supplemental Sustenance, Jason’s Way!

It’s a great feeling to have 10 pounds of catfish filets in the freezer, courtesy of Jason’s newest passion—late night, kayak catfishing. Last week he brought home a pretty abundant haul!

They’re not pasture raised, but just as high quality… Wild caught in a clean, mountain lake. Wild and free nourishment for the three of us!

Take a Hike, Turkeys

The turkeys are on the move this week… Running all over the place and really having a good time. Don’t you think the turkeys in the foreground look like they’re playing hide and seek around that tree?

Since the acorns have started falling, the turkeys are getting the chance to eat delicious supplements of the woods in addition to the greenery of pastures. Can you believe it’s only 2 months until Thanksgiving?

The Cutest Duckling on the Block

This batch of baby ducks features two of these cuties… White Crested ducks. We got a few of these, just for fun, and when they’re adults they have the same tuft on their head, in white. We can’t wait to see them when they’re all grown up! How hilarious are they? 😆

Homestead Dog Adventures

These farm dogs really know how to join in on the fun! One of their favorite activities is trying to jump in the van whenever they get the chance… And even though they’re both pretty big it can be a difficult feat to launch themselves up. We often hear the scratch of toenails as they’re trying to climb up the steps into the backseat… And it’s just hilarious.

On this occasion, after a feed run, both of these goobers made it up, and they looked pretty pleased with themselves.
