Idaho Pasture Pigs, Whats all the buzz about?

"Officials at the Federal Reserve have said there is little cause for concern about inflation, but consumers, struggling." "Feedlots are going to have to pivot in their plans with rising feed prices." "Surging feed prices will test recovery in US animal protein production" Its not all doom and gloom for you, the small farmer. Yes, you will likely have to increase your prices, and if you haven't yet, you should be considering it. But this doesn't mean the end for the small farmers. Lets talk about WHY there are these price increases and the NASTY word "GMO." Lets discuss what Monsanto's RoundUp chemical is doing to our corn and soy and livestock and learn how to navigate our customers to a healthy choice. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thefoxandcrowfarm/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thefoxandcrowfarm/support

For more information on Wooded Valley Acres visit: www.woodedvalleyacres.com To watch this podcast on my youtube channel visit: https://youtu.be/U1dy6yHS8Hw How do you take that leap of faith from a full time career to self employment?  How do you turn your farm business into a thriving business you can live on?   Join me, Erin (your host) and Elizabeth Bower with Wooded Valley Acres. Elizabeth had been wanting to turn her farm into her primary career. She started small and aimed high. With planning, organization and an achievable goal, Elizabeth was able to ditch her 9-5 and focus solely on building her farm business. Meet The Farmers Cory and Elizabeth Bower purchased their farm in Gilmanton in 2016. It was raw land with a home. Through their efforts, they have established the well working farm that it is today. While Elizabeth comes from generation after generation of farmers including her own small family farm that she grew up on with cows and pigs, Elizabeth's passion for health and healing your body through diet and herbs stems from an autoimmune disease that was brought to the surface after a traumatic attack by a patient at work. Elizabeth was left out of work for an extensive amount of time with many specialists prescribing prescription after prescription with no success. Elizabeth turned to herbs and natural healing. This is where her knowledge and passion of herbal medicine really began and you'll find this when she talks about how she cares for her animals and how she develops her teas and products. Cory grew up in the city of Niagara Falls but always loved the outdoors and wanted a different life for himself. He had friends that he would go hunting with and enjoyed hiking. Soon, he and Elizabeth met in 2013 and their dreams became one. Fast forward 3 years and they turned their dreams into a working farm that has continued to grow ever since. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thefoxandcrowfarm/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thefoxandcrowfarm/support

Fridays, From the Farm: Thats a Wrap! Goodbye March and Hello April

I was so lucky to be able to sit down with Jenn Forest with Half a Penny Farm in Barnstead NH to discuss her farm and how she got started. It started as a simple idea many years ago to “someday” have a farm. Fast forward 15 years later with a knock on a door, countless hours of hard work and the unwavering kindness and generosity of the Halfpenny and Welch families the dream of Half-A-Penny Farm was realized. Located in Center Barnstead, NH, Half-A-Penny Farm is the product of the dedication and determination of two brothers. Shane and Norman Forest set a goal of raising free range, grass fed, black Angus beef. With many hours and passionate persistence, they have made this dream a reality. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thefoxandcrowfarm/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thefoxandcrowfarm/support

You set up those boundaries to be safe but today we are going to talk about breaking beyond your comfort zone and exploring more about your hidden potential. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thefoxandcrowfarm/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thefoxandcrowfarm/support

Well, here it is!! 1 official year since the launch of my website www.farmtodoornh.com What a monumental year for me, our farm and for all of our vendors and customers. The moment the state shut down we all worked together to get our food online and ready to be delivered to our community for FREE. Here we are, still offering the same Farm Fresh food with FREE delivery today. I started my 2020 year with a serious kick in my stomach by my professional colleagues that nearly broke my heart in two and ruined my spirit. I'd say I made a pretty good recovery despite that. I am eternally grateful for my husband Jared Hanselman who has been my biggest supporter, inspiration and mentor.

New Hampshire Farm to Door Celebrates 1 year!

Visit: www.blueberryridgenh.com Owning a farm has always been a dream of ours! We used to drive around for years admiring farms in our state. We would daydream about the day when we could call our own farm home! In 2017, those dreams became reality when we purchased a 17 acre farm in Pittsfield, NH. Over the years, we have worked hard to make many improvements to the property. There have been a lot of laughs, learning curves to overcome, good and bad days, sweat, cuss words, celebrations and even some tears -- but here we are! We are proud to grow Blueberry Ridge Ranch in our community! On our farm we raise pork, beef, broiler chickens, eggs, vegetables & flowers. We also partner with other farm based business owners to provide jams, honey, syrup, dry rubs & unique gifts! Visit our honor system farm stand (open seasonally from dawn to dusk) or check out our online store! We look forward to bringing all of this farm awesomeness to YOU!!!
