Summer is in full swing! Veggies, flowers and puppies!
Hello Farm-ily!
Happy July. We are having a great summer so far, and pray you all are as well. Lots of fun summer staples are starting to come in from the garden. Tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, eggplant, and squash. The okra is still very tiny, but making good progress! :)
We have a surplus of Zucchini and yellow squash! Here are some fun recipes for using them. We are going to be putting some bulk boxes together for those of you who would like to put some up for the winter months. OR just want a bunch of yummy squash right now! Some of our favorite ways to have squash is sliced in a cast-iron skillet with butter and onions. YUM! We have also been grilling them in strips with some olive oil, salt and pepper. We love setting up assembly lines for getting things into the freezer so we can enjoy ‘summer’ in the winter! So for this recipe we will set up a cutting station, bagging station, and the the little people can take it to the freezer! We like to set up bags of sliced squash that we can then thaw and make into the pie. So fun. Another fun way to save squash for the winter is shredding it and then freezing it in Ziplocs for making Zucchini bread. (we always add yellow squash too, it adds color and tastes the same:) Squash-Tots anyone? Here is a super fin recipe, and yummy too!
Ok, we also have lots of cucumbers. So if you are in the mood for making pickles, let us know and we will get you a big box of cukes! Here is a recipe for refrigerator pickles that even the little kids can do. We made a batch with them, and now they will just bring some more cucumbers, slice them up and add them to the jar!
The flower garden is also near bursting. We have bouquets for sale now. We have one on our table and it adds such cheer to our home.
Weeding the sweet potato patch! Wow, what a lot of work, but doing it together is so fun. Then when you’re all hot and sweaty, prickly from all of the weeds you jump in the pool…AHH! I’m always reminded of a Bernstein Bear’s book when they go to the farm. Farmer Ben says “farming is hard fun”.
We are on baby watch for several animals. Miss Polly is due any day now with Bernese pups, Mercy is 20 days out from her due date of a little Jersey calf, and we are praying for Bonnie Rose who is carrying what will be the first ever foal (baby horse) to be born on our farm!
So there’s your update! Please let us know if you would like some extra cucumbers or squash:)
Have a great week!
We love being your farmers… :)

Summer CSA opens next week!
Just a quick reminder that this week is our “off” week to change over from Winter to Summer CSA. Milk and eggs are available still, but no veggies this week. Thanks for being part of the “farm-ily”! We can’t wait to see you next week. We have baby bunnies, puppies and silkie chicks for visiting or for sale next week also! And a new calf to meet! We’ve been busy around here enjoying the blessings God has given us.
Enjoying the new year!
Reminder: This week is meat week, please make sure to collect your share on your appointed day! We also have extra ground beef available for sale, please let us know if you need any.
Things may happen more slowly around here without farmer Tommy to help, but we got some great things done this month. The farm shop has been built and concrete poured! We also installed some heated greenhouse tables that will help our plants get a better start as babies. We have been enjoying some quiet family time even though the weather has been great for getting our projects done. We hope you are taking some time to enjoy a slow cooked meal and visit with family! They grow so fast so we are trying to be intentional with our time.
There are a few labradoodles available as well as 1 black labrador. We also have a few Bernese Mountain Dog puppies that can be reserved for later this month. We don’t plan to have another Bernese litter until later in the year. Check out our puppy website for more details.
Sweet Labrador Male, started on leash and crate training. All ready to go.
We look forward to seeing you this week 2-5 Thursday and Saturday! Make sure you are remembering to make bone broth with your chicken backs and beef bones or pick up some in the farm store to help your body preform well during these last two months of winter!
Blessings,
Your farm family
Have a blessed Christmas! Here's a discount for you!
We have no change to our schedule for the upcoming holidays, pick up will go as usual. If you want to pick up Thursday instead of Saturday please contact us to arrange that. Also please see our new puppy website to see our current cutie pies! Mention this e-mail to receive a special price for your Christmas puppy! We have Labs, Labradoodles, Bernedoodles and Bernese Mountain Dog puppies right now.
The farmers are busy building our new garage to help make work go more smoothly. We are excited to get more organized and spend more time growing great food and less time looking for our tools! We have most of the garden winterized and the greenhouses are stocked and locked! (Locked so the cows don’t find their way in again and eat your food!)
If you didn’t see us on Fox News for our Thanksgiving Turkeys, check it out here, here and here! Three different clips! Aside from the commercial turkeys they show at the start of one clip, which is clearly the opposite of what we do, it was nice to share about sustainable farming.
Love your farmers,
The Bakers
Merry Christmas from the Baker Family! We pray for your peace and joy this season.
Happy Thanksgiving!
We have so much to be thankful for and YOU are on that list! We love to do a thanksgiving tree each year and our community and family and friends top that list! Along with all our puppies, animals and good food!
Sweet little Bernese Mountain Dogs!
We are thankful to have been on fox news for our turkeys. Watch a quick clip here!
We will be doing our pick ups this week on Tuesday instead of Thursday. Delivery will also happen Tuesday (a little earlier in the day than usual). Our Turkey Open House will be from 2-6 Tuesday at the cabin. We have a couple left if you haven’t reserved already, remember we don’t take size requests. We will also have some sweet puppies to visit while picking up your food.
We pray you all have a blessed time of being thankful to the Lord this year for what He has provided.
Blessings,
Your farmers and friends the Bakers
Winter CSA
We hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful fall weather! We had some lovely family time during our “off” weeks. We enjoyed harvesting sweet potatoes in good weather with good friends! We said goodbye to a faithful cow that had served us and you with good laughs and good milk for 12 years. Rosemary was born on our rented farm before we moved here, she spent some time in our basement once when we didn’t have a barn and she got very cold and wet as a calf. We love our dairy cows and spend so much time with them, it’s hard to say goodbye, but the cycle of life is just that way. We are grateful for her!
Rosemary’s daughter Tansy came to visit us at the front porch the other morning! Cows are always doing silly things!
There is still room in the Winter CSA if anyone wants to sign up please do so here!
I love this face! This is one of our Bernedoodles. They are so playful it’s hard to get a still photo!
We also have a wonderful new puppy website for anyone looking for some cute photos or to learn about what sweet puppies we have available! Please visit it here and pass it along to anyone looking for a forever friend.
We look forward to seeing everyone today! Pick up is here Nov. 3 and 5th from 2-5 pm. Come snuggle a puppy and grab your veggies, meat, milk and eggs!
Blessings,
The Bakers
Puppies ready for new homes and Winter CSA openings
Hi Friends and Farm-ily,
It’s been a wonderful season for us while we learn to farm without Tommy. God has blessed us and carried us along when it was hard. Seasons are wonderful as they always change. We are busy getting the gardens and greenhouses ready for winter while enjoying some beautiful weather. The turkeys are happy on pasture and we are ready to take reservations for your Thanksgiving bird here. Pick up will be the Tuesday before Thanksgiving from 2-6 here at the farm.
We have some really cute puppies ready for new homes. We have a litter of Goldendoodles and Toy Poodles! The Goldendoodles will be around 50 pounds and very loving, devoted friends. The toy poodles are so cute and have such fun personalities, they will be less than 10 pounds full grown. See our new website to learn more about them and other upcoming litters.
We will be sending out invoices for the winter CSA to current members next week, if you wish to change your shares please send us an email soon. We have OPENINGS for our WINTER CSA! So let us know soon if you would like s spot. We will have meat, veggie, egg and limited milk openings. We are not offering soap or herbal CSA currently.
We have you are having a blessed Fall and are enjoying the many blessings God provides! We have seen so many mercies along our journey that we are so grateful for our Lord’s provision.

Your farmers and friends! The Bakers
