Good news and bad news... The Arctic cold front that passed through has had us and Boot Hill Farm running, covering and uncovering, harvesting eggs 4 times a day. This is the coldest it's been this early in the year since we've been farming! We prepare for Frost's and freezes with our frost fabric and high tunnels which keep most crops warm to down around 20 degrees, but it got down to 0 out at our farm!! We covered everything as best we could, but we still lost a lot! The good news is that we have plenty of root vegetables, pumpkins, and squash! The cold has also hindered Rick's butchering operations and he is out of whole chickens. If you have whole chickens on your order and would be willing to trade out for other meats, he would appreciate it! Thanks as always for your support and hopefully you are staying warm!

About the farm
We left the hustle and bustle of city life to raise our children in the country. Getting into agriculture is a decision we've never regretted! Now we lovingly grow fresh food together as a family on our small farm. It's food we trust, and you can too! We want to feed our children the best we can, so we grow high-quality fruits, vegetables, and meats - everything from Arugula to Zucchini; Chicken and pork! - all free of chemicals, synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides. We'd love to share what we grow with you!
