What to get the person who has everything?

A Gift Card from Templeton Family Organics! Just in time for the Holiday season. These can be used on any of our products - veggies, honey, pork, maple syrup, chicken or how about a laying hen or two? Or maybe a whole freezer full of meat? Who can't use food?  Isn't it even more special that you are supporting a local family farm AND its organic. Its healthy, meaningful and environmentally friendly. So get your shopping done early and in peace (no crazy stores to go through!) and come on down, pick up some gift cards, cross off a few people off your shopping list, and while you are here, visit our baby chicks that just came in today!

A morning at the farm

Grateful for helping hands

We are very grateful to the Ouellette family who have on several occasions come by with their 6 children to offer a helping hand. In this picture the twins and younger kids moved a group of layer chicks from the main barn to the small hen house so that they can learn how to roost and get used to being in a hen house. While they were busy setting up the house, putting down bedding, setting up feeders, and waters, catching chicks and moving them, the big kids were out moving 175 bigger cornish cross chickens out to the field. When they were done, they came in and cleaned out the pens they were in! Talk about many hands making light work. We were done in record time. Thank you Ouellette family!

Here is another picture of a tremendous helping hand. Below is Wally helping me until the wee hours of the night putting labels on our various chicken cuts, fresh out of the processing plant. Together we labeled, weighed and packaged orders for our customers and put them back into our refrigerated van for delivery in the morning. Thank you Wally - you rock!

So many goodies so little time!

One of the biggest challenges of farming is letting people know what we have available. We have so many items that I will just have to give you a list and not spend a lot of time on the amazing flavor of our products.
Corn on the cob - best season we ever had!
Potatoes
Tomatoes - slicing, Roma, cherry and tear drop
Onions - white and red
Eggplant
GROUND CHERRIES - yes we got those!
Peppers, green and other colors developing
Pumpkins - Brian made me promise not to plant anything that couldn't be eaten so we have SUGAR pumpkins and EDITABLE gourds with a taste that won't disappoint!
Acorn Squash
Hot Chili Peppers
Beets
Kale
Swiss Chard
Zucchini

We are working on some home made items too - 'THE' salsa is on the way....and it is naturally gluten free!

Feel free to call or text to make sure your favorites are on hand and fresh 

Now Certified Organic AND delivering to Londonderry

As you can imagine it is a busy time for us. Last month we became officially certified organic and that means everything - our laying hens, eggs, pullets, vegetables, fruits, fields, hay, piglets, turkeys and our meat chickens. It sure is a good feeling to be official! It was a lot of work but totally worth it. Now our customers have an added level of confidence that you are getting the real deal.

We are now delivery to Londonderry on Fridays at 5:15PM at the Burger King parking lot. If you are interested in pork products, vegetables/fruits, chicken, honey or any of our products, email/text/call us and we can add you to the delivery list.

While our CSA is full at this time, we do offer some of our extra certified organic vegetables which include:
Zucchini
Summer Squash
Cucumbers
Pickling Cucumber (must order in advance)
Green Beans
Beets
and more....
all available in our self serve farm stand

Next week we will have our own pasture chicken in cuts available (breasts, wings, thighs packages). Contact us ASAP to reserve your portion.

Currently we have ham kabobs, Sweet Italian Sausage, Breakfast sausage both available in links and in blocks (for the avid sauce makers!), pork chops, ribs, roasts and more. Get it while supplies last!

Come by any time and visit, there is always something to see here

Its Hay Day...
