Chicken Thistle Farm.en-USSquarespace Site Server v5.11.81 (http://www.squarespace.com/)Chicken Thistle FarmA couple of farmers sharing our small farm stories and skills on a journey - pasture to plate.When we moved out into the country, we just expected our gardens to get bigger… instead our farm dreams grew into a real, small scale, full-fledged, sustainable farmstead. It doesn't matter if you are a farmer, a farm dreamer, a homesteader or an urban / organic gardener who longs for wide open places, this farmcast, err, coopcast is for you! We have learned a lot about small scale farming and market gardening on our journey and wanted to help others by sharing the joys and struggles we have discovered as we continue returning to our roots in the soil. Our topics free range around broiler chickens and pastured eggs, heritage breed turkeys, pastured heritage pigs, an heirloom vegetable CSA, high tunnel / hoop house / green houses, gardens, projects in the barn, permaculture, food preservation and even fence mending. So come along for a visit to our chicken coop and join us as we share our livestock, gardening and homesteading stories and skills from our small farm as we live - pasture to
