The last few days/weeks have been insane. As turkey season came, our delivery schedule looked insurmountable and things that needed to be done at the farm got put on hold.
As we all scrambled to pack, invoice, load, and deliver Turkeys all around Oklahoma, our friends were showing up to the farm to take care of business.
This is Mr. Taylor. We started our farm on his land in Sand Springs, OK. We gave him a crisp $10 bill in exchange for a lease on a few acres of Scrubby woods at the corner of his property. When we moved to our current land, he and his wife have continued to chip in to help us keep this thing afloat.
Yesterday Mr. Taylor showed up to the farm on his day off, changed the oil on the tractor and welded new feet on a broken pig feeder. We didn't even know he was working on it until we saw these pictures!
It takes a village. And we are so Thankful for our village people.

Chickens have a love hate relationship with this bedding. It's terrifying at first, but it gets them up off the cold, wet ground. 1 chicken tractor down, 13 to go. ❄️🐔 #sustainablefood #pasturedpoultry #oklahoma #tulsa #tulsafood #farmtofork

Before we get back to your regular scheduled programming, we'd like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone that helped us get through last week.
All of our friends and family that came out to help with farm chores - thank you.
All of our customers that were so flexible as we sorted out deliveries, thank you.
@urbanagrarian who came and picked up all the OKC deliveries, and took care of them all for us, thank you.
The @mcnellies_pub folks who offered up the pub for a memorial reception, and graciously hosted all the people most important to us, thank you.
To all the chefs who cooked, all the parents who brought out food, and all of you who offered up prayers for the family, thank you.

We have a lot to sort out in the coming days/weeks/months, but the mission remains the same. We are going to continue to grow food for our community and share this story as it unfolds.
Cheers.

A note from Nate-

Last night, one of my best friends, and the MVP of our organization went home to be with the Lord. Even as I write this I can't begin to convey the loss we are all feeling today.
Everything I've done in my life for the last 6 years, Peter has been there with me... and I'm better for it. I miss him so much already it's difficult to imagine tomorrow without him.
Please keep the Prulhiere family in your prayers. They need all of them right now.

Nate

Our #1 problem when it comes to #pasturedpoultry is cold, heavy rains.
Our #1 solution to said problem... Is Peter with a roll of plastic wrap.

Keeps the rain out, and keeps the food fresh. #farmlife in #oklahoma

There's about 5000 species in this acre of grass right here. And only one of them is pig.

Millions of Bison once roamed these planes in Northeast Oklahoma; mowing down the grass and moving on. We are trying to mimic that constant movement with all the critters out here. Intense disturbance aerates the soil, manure fertilizes it, and rest let's it all come back. Pigs are magnificent creatures. They build soil, turn soil, grow grass, kill weeds... And for their final trick - make bacon. 🙏

Possibly the best part of a full weekend of work on the farm, is Monday morning... When you know the pigs are where they're supposed to be. 😅

There's some days where we sit back and talk about how we understand why it's appealing to put all your pigs in a barn with automatic feeders and waterers. But we have these discussions while sitting on our porch (not the goat) and watching the pigs play in the woods 100 yards away. That ends the discussion. Every time.

1700 baby 🐣 this week! They'll be under the heat lamps for a couple weeks then out to the grass they go!
Raising pastured chicken is seasonal, so the next 14 weeks will be just one continuous "chirp".

The last few months have been the busiest we've ever had. And the next few months are going to be even more so!
Pasture raised farming is seasonal for some of our production, mainly chicken. The chickens don't like the cold/wet so we take the winter off and start them back up in the spring. Between now and December we are doubling our chicken numbers so we can stock product for our customers to have all year round. This is an exciting time at the farm as there seems to be life in every possible paddock and pasture... But tbh this feels like the week before finals and we are tempted to call in sick. 😀

TRACKING CHICKENS

We know where the chickens are, we just like to survey where the chickens WERE. You see; if fertility is there, the grass will always beat the weeds. There's areas of the farm that are still very rough, but where our flock has spent some time, the grass is thick, lush, and nutritious. Which just so happens to be the recipe for the best cow food around.
Week to week, we've got a million things going on. Home deliveries, restaurant deliveries, trips to the butcher, ordering more egg cartons, school field trips, etc... But there's nothing more exciting to a multi-speciated regenerative farm... Then some post-chicken pasture. 🐔
