About the Farm
Background
Garden Spot Farms is revitalizing an old farmstead that has been in operation for over a century. After being broken up and sold off, the land is now being returned to productive use. The farm has a vision of maintaining the land as a productive small farm rather than converting it into residential subdivisions.
Practices
The farm employs pasturing methods for raising poultry and pork, ensuring that the animals are naturally raised on pasture. The poultry are fed locally sourced feed, contributing to their delicious and nutritious quality. The pigs are raised on a diet that includes dandelions, vetch, and alfalfa, capturing the essence of the land in every bite. The farm emphasizes the importance of localvore habits, encouraging customers to adapt their shopping and food storage practices to support local agriculture.
The Rest
Garden Spot Farms plans to expand their offerings to include beef, heirloom vegetables, and heirloom starts in the coming year. Customers are encouraged to stay in touch via email for updates on the availability of fresh pastured poultry and pork. The farm highlights the necessity of having ample freezer space for those purchasing larger quantities of meat.
