  • A NOTE ABOUT CURRENT MILK QUANTITY

As a year-round dairy farm, we strive to have calving spread out over the course of a few months. This is what makes it possible to have milk 12 months of the year. Some dairies are seasonal, meaning they time calving for their herd so there is no milk production for a portion of the winter. It seems that our bulls bred our dairy cows over a very short period last year, so our calving season is quite condensed. We now have lower milk production than ever before and have too little milk to make cheese or meet raw milk demand in the farm store. There’s nothing to be done besides waiting for calves to be born, when cows start making significantly more milk and return to the milking herd. We expect calving to start in early April.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your continued support during this low-milk window!
  • St. Patrick’s Day is just over a week away. What better for your feast than a home cured corned beef from grass-fed brisket. You’ll be able to taste the rolling green pastures that our cattle call home.
Pick a brisket up this weekend so you have enough time to properly brine.

Find a @saveurmag brine recipe in our links.

Our brisket will be @pittsfieldfarmersmarket, @northamptonwintermarket and @schenectadygreenmarket as well as in the Farm Store (top right corner of the meat freezer).

  • It’s #nationalpigday and our piggies play an important role on the farm. Their primary diet is whey, a bi-product of the cheesemaking process By consuming the whey, they keep it out of the drain and waterways- where, in large amounts, it could otherwise have a negative impact on the environment. Our pigs also have ample room to roam and explore, so they have the opportunity add tasty greens and bugs to their meal as well.

A local student and volunteer, Jackie, painted with wonderful portrait of some of our piglets last year.
  • Our newest little calf Crumpet adorned a special jacket yesterday.  When icy cold temperatures  immediately follow heavy rain  it can be very difficult for a cows’ coat to keep them warm. The weather went from warm and rainy, then dropped nearly 40 degrees, before those coats had a chance to dry out. 
To keep Crumpet warm until the special coat could be applied, they buried the calf in hay, which is another excellent source of warmth and also a very fun backdrop for our fashionista.
  • Our cattle herd had two new births this week. While our farmers were greeting the first calf, a second one was discovered, so soon after birth it wasn’t walking yet. Our cattle herd is such a supportive, protective, bovine community.  Some of them gathered to watch the little one build its strength to stand.
  • It’s Thursday! Which means that @berkshiremountainbakery will deliver freshly baked bread and @squarerootsfarmmass will replenish the egg supply in the Farm Store.
And if you’re in Northampton or Schenectady, we will be coming to you this weekend. So stop by @northamptonwintermarket on Saturday and @schenectadygreenmarket on Sunday for our selections of cheese and meats.

Our cattle herd had two new births this week. While our farmers were greeting the first calf, a second one was discovered, so soon after birth it wasn’t walking yet. Our cattle herd is such a supportive, protective, bovine community.  Some of them gathered to watch the little one build its strength to stand.

A new bull (yet to be named) joined our beef herd today.  The full Hereford bull comes to us from @averillcook. He’s very soft, mild mannered, and chonky. Our cattle was quick to greet him and excited (for a moment, at least) to see a new face.
