Deer Hunting Season

Deer Hunting Season

What do we do when it's deer hunting season?

When hunting local, we wake up real early, usually around 3 am. We do the milking. We feed the calves, pigs, horses, and dogs. We move the portable fence, so the cows and heifers have fresh pasture for the day and try to be in the woods before dawn.

Although it can be challenging to find the time to hunt, it is very relaxing to sit out in God’s creation and watch nature.

On November 25th, my 10-year old son, Marlin, accompanied me for his first ever deer hunt. My wife, Sadie, and our daughters did the milking, so we could have some Father-Son time which is really special.

It turned out to be a gorgeous day.

We saw quite a few deer and were able to harvest a mature doe. Our family likes venison (deer meat) with bologna and dried venison probably being our favorite. So, now we have venison in the freezer along with our 100% grass fed beef, pastured pork, chicken, and turkey which keeps things interesting.

We can't sell you any of our venison, unfortunately. Boo-hoo!! However, we do have some wonderful new products.

So long for now.

Wishing God’s blessing to you and your family.

Prayers and Donations to Southern Appalachia

Here at Burke’s Garden, we received 12 inches of rain in 2 days. Our power is still out and cell service just came back on line. Here at the farm, we have been juggling cleaning up fallen trees on sheds, roads, power lines, drying out household items from the flood waters, and keeping the animals from escaping through broken fences, rotating them to new pastures, and fed.

How Do You Like Our Meats & Cheese

This Summer has been our busiest Summer yet. Typically, Summer slows down for us to make hay and than picks back up in the Fall. Not this year. You have keep us busy as beavers keeping up with all your orders of our Grass Fed and Pasture-Raised Meats and our Raw A2/A2 Cheeses.
