NEWS FROM THE FARM Updated 08/04/08 If you ordered some of our August broiler chickens, they will be available for pickup Thursday 8/7 6:30pm-8:00pm and Sunday 8/10 noon-1:30pm. Contact Stephanie with any questions. Updated 08/04/08 We are pleased to announce that we are now supplying meat and poultry to the restaurant Vinology in Ann Arbor. The head chef and part owner Brandon Johns shared his goal of sourcing much of his menu with local products. Beginning this month, you'll begin to find our products on the menu, starting with our broiler chicken! We are very excited to be associated with someone who is interested in local, naturally raised meat & poultry. Thank you Brandon! Check out the Vinology's 100-mile dinner on September 24th where we are expecting our rabbit to be one of the courses. Updated 07/18/08 We've completed our SLOW wagon! The laying hens are on pasture, out in the fresh air, enjoying the sunshine and feasting on bugs and grass! Egg production is down a bit as they adjust to their new surroundings. Be patient with our girls! They'll be back up to full production in no time! Updated 07/16/08 Think Thanksgiving -- now! Updated 06/16/08 Wow! What a wonderful evening it was, delivering our June Broiler Chickens to so many new faces we'd only met via email or phone! Thank you for your patience - it was a hectic night. (Add my out-of-town sister-in-law's arrival with husband and a surprise visit from Aunt Helen! It was a hopping place!!) Hope you all enjoy your chicken! Updated 06/09/08 We couldn't resist showing you how cute the turkeys look! See News from the Farm. Updated 05/26/08 Our turkeys have arrived and surprise! The hatchery we work with sent us Blue Slate Turkeys instead of the Narragansetts we ordered. Well rather than be upset, we are happy to raise this bird, as it is also a heritage breed and recognized on the Slow Food Ark of Taste. We have posted our pickup schedules for broiler chickens and turkeys. Mark your calendars for one of the freshest meals you'll have all year! Updated 04/23/08 The Stewing Hens are here! Contact us if you would like to purchase one. And make our Chicken & Dumplings recipe! Updated 04/02/08 Share the Back Forty Acres experience! Who's Wilson? |
