STAPLES FARM

Over the last few years, we have been amazed by the variety of bird species we see at the farm. Today, I watched a hen turkey strut around one of the hay fields I was tedding. Tonight, Jon and I saw a yellow-headed blackbird by the pool. Seeing all things great and small never gets old. -Leo

We are always working to improve the quality of the forage for our pigs. Recently, the team members have started wondering whether the pigs liked the cereal grains in the fall seed mix. That question has been answered this week. Since last Sunday, this group of eight women has cleaned up this paddock in three days. It is interesting to see them grab a mouthful of forage and go off by themselves to eat it. As Andrea said in her recent TikTok video (https://www.tiktok.com/@staples.farm/video/7635782764486348063), our pigs aren’t looking for anything. -Leo
