Summer is almost here!

Hopefully everyone put their gardens in last week when the ground was dry.  Now it seems we are having a late Spring Storm with lots of rain.  It will help the garden grow so, no complaints here. Our son Colton is growing like a weed. He is 8 months old but he is the size of a 2 year old, at least that is what it feels like carrying him around.

Well, May is almost over and summer is just around the corner. That means we have a lot of work to do around our homes. Gardens are in, and lawns are being mowed.   Here at the Pleasant Valley Farm we are busy  raising meat as well. Fortunately we have room to raise enough meat for our friends and family. This year we are offering chicken, turkey, pork and beef.

Our animals are rotated  through pastures and woods to keep the soil (incredibly) healthy and to keep the animals on fresh forage. This is an ethical way to raise livestock and minimizes our need to medicate them, which helps assure healthy animals. Healthy animals lead to healthy food for our Friends and Family, food which happens to have incredible flavor.
