Meat and Poultry CSA:
2008 ~ We offer pick up in Lakeview, Hyde Park and Evanston. Beloit customers can order for pick up on Fridays. Madison customers can order by appointment. Visit the CSA page for specific details.
Lamb:
Our sheep are raised on pasture and roam freely and happily about. They are well cared for, often very spoiled and enjoy plenty of space and room to roam. Mom's eat grass only, except for about a month before lambing begins and they get a very small ration of grain for strength. Lambs also roam freely on pasture, receiving grain as youngsters just to build their strength.
Chicken:
We raise a variety of chicken breeds. All are received as day old baby chickens. They spend their first 3 weeks in a brooder room which is heated to about 90 degrees. Following that, they eat pasture and roam freely in a very, very large fenced area. We only put a fence around to keep predators out, not really to keep chickens in. They have plenty of space and pasture to eat.
Eggs:
Our hens have a warm home for the evenings, but spend their days pecking about a very large pasture. Their diet varies greatly by season and they're very spoiled. In 2007 we grew tomatoes (their favorite!) and pumpkins and squash just for the hens. Eggs are available year round at $3.50 per dozen. They sell out at the farmer's market very, very early. So reserve or come early! Our eggs are also available through subscription in conjunction with Troy Community Farm in Madison.
Turkey:
In 2007 we raised heritage turkeys that were a Standard Bronze breed. Our turkeys are raised on pasture and also fed treats like tomotoes and squash throughout the summer. Turkeys are available by reservation for 2008. A $10 deposit is required to reserve a turkey, and its a good idea since they sell out quickly.
Flowers and Produce:
We offer seasonal produce including peas, beets, broccoli, eggplant, tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, potatoes, melons, squash, cucumbers and pumpkins.
Cut flowers are available mid June through mid September. We grow and bunch sunflowers, zinnia, cosmos, bachelor buttons, tulips and peonies.
