Our Babes are Back on Grass

Thanks to a warm and wet Spring, our animals are back to rotational grazing on our delicious dark green pastures of orchard grass, clover, dandelion, blue grass, thistle, and other nutritious grasses, legumes, and herbs.

Each day we move the portable fence a few more yards and the cows and lambs jump out the gate to their fresh new salad bar.

This is the time of year that produces meats rich in nutrients and dark yellow dairy and high in omega-3 fatty acids.

Our high-altitude grazing has some of the most premium pastures in the country which grow some of the healthiest animals.

I want to remind you that even our pigs are rotationally grazed on pasture from Spring thru Fall eating nothing but grass, grubs and roots. They will be supplemented a soy-free feed next Winter, but for now it’s pasture.

This week we have been weening the calves and lambs from their mom’s, weighing, and separating the herds. The babies are ready for grass grazing and growing up.

This time of year is so full of life and abundance which gives us hope that we will be able to feed us and ya’ll well this year with our pastured meats and cheeses.

Thank you all for your loyal support as we continue to connect food and health.

Lamb Coming This Winter

Feels like Winter this week with 6-inches of snow at Burke’s Garden. The kids couldn’t wait to get out of school to go sledding down the hill. On the farm, this means the animals eat more food to stay warm and water troughs need to have ice broken each day.
