Grateful Farmers...We Thank Our Farm Members, and Our Future Farm Members.

     The farmers are waiting for spring, and spring is near! William and I are getting ready for the rocket growth of our grass, vegetables, and animals...all we have to do for now is plan vegetable maps, prepare the soil, and wait for the ground to warm and the soil to smell like spring for the rush of growth.

Become a Farm Member!

We can't do without you!  Every group needs its core members. Our Community Supported Agriculture members (CSA) are our core members. No farm= No food.   But we think... No members= No farm.  We love sharing our farm's bounty with folks who are searching for that connection with one of their most important everyday actions. Eating food.  How about eating healthy, local food? When you support Bluebird Farm by becoming a CSA member, you are directly supporting local sustainable agriculture, and supporting the people who are the next generation of agriculture.

The excitement and rewards of planting and harvesting our vegetables, tending our animals, and building soil tilth and structure is held in a secure framework of people who eat our foods and support the stewardship of our farm! We thank you!  We care for our farm's people and our farm's families.

Our beautiful December hogs: these are Duroc, Spots, Berkshire, and Yorkshire crosses.  That pink color from the Yorkshire comes through strong!

    Taste the difference in our farm food!

    Our free-range, pasture meat chickens and pigs are fed certified organic grains.  Our free-range, pasture hens are fed non-medicated grains with flax seed and alfalfa.  We rotate the livestock to different pastures, fields, woods, and deep bedded hoop barns around the farm depending on the season. We work (and think) hard to meet our high standards of pastured animal husbandry and welfare at Bluebird Farm. 

    Our fresh vegetables are raised in living soils without the use of synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, fungcides, or insecticides. We use compost, cover crops, organic amendments, and lots of brain and work power to grow our vegetables.  Our vegetables glow with fresh color and flavor!
