On Saturday, September 5th, from 10 AM-4 PM, Little Captain Creek Farm will be opening its doors for a full day of faith, family, food, and farm life. Whether you're a longtime customer or this is your first visit, Farm Day is a chance to slow down, enjoy the farm, and experience a little bit of what life looks like here.
We've officially welcomed 130 baby turkey poults to the farm: 50 Heritage Breed turkeys and 80 Broad Breasted White turkeys. Over the next several months, we'll care for them as they grow into the centerpiece of many Thanksgiving tables, and we're excited to invite you to be part of that journey.
Today we're often told that newer is better, faster is smarter, and convenience is the goal. We can order dinner with a few taps, have packages delivered the next day, and find answers to almost any question in seconds.
As we celebrate Independence Day, it's a fitting time to reflect on the freedoms we often take for granted, including the freedom to choose the food we bring home to our families. Who gets to decide the food we eat, the kind of milk we drink, what farmers are allowed to produce, and what consumers are allowed to buy? These questions are at the heart of a growing conversation about food freedom.
When most people see a shade mobile in a pasture, they see a simple way to keep cattle cool during the summer. And they're right. It does exactly that. Providing shade helps keep our cattle comfortable during hot weather and gives them a place to gather throughout the day.
When people think about farm-fresh chicken, they often think about how the birds are raised. There is pasture access, quality feed, and humane care. However, one of the most important parts of producing high-quality food happens at the very end of the process: how the birds are handled and processed.
Colostrum is often called âfirst milkâ because itâs the very first nutrient-rich milk produced by mammals after giving birth. In cows, this rich golden milk is created specifically to nourish and protect newborn calves during their first days of life.
Weâre excited to welcome you to the farm as our on-site store officially opens next weekend on May 9th, just in time for a meaningful and family-centered Motherâs Day weekend.
Weâre excited to officially open the doors to our farm store on May 9th. We have a simple, welcoming space built for easy, self-serve shopping right where your food is grown.
Weâve been working on something new here at the farm, and weâre excited to finally share a little bit about it. Weâre in the process of putting together a small, on-farm store.
Switching from stored hay to fresh green pasture is one of the most challenging transitions we manage all year in milk production. Itâs also one of the most exciting. After months of feeding dry forage through the winter, spring finally brings new grass, longer days, and that first stretch of bright green fields. The cows feel it. We feel it. Everything wakes back up. Itâs a reminder of Godâs design in creation: renewal, growth, and life coming forth again.
Hello, Farmer Steven here, and you might be surprised by how much a farmer like me eats in a day. But when youâre lifting feed bags, hauling water, fixing fences, moving animals, cutting wood, and walking the pastures from sunup to sundown, you learn quickly that coffee and a light snack wonât carry you very far.
