Greetings friends,
ORDERS and MESSAGES for some reason orders aren’t coming through from the website. We are working on it. In the meantime if you would like to place an order, send a message to orders@freerangechicken.com
Now the news.
I know it’s been a while since my last post, but I hope to get back on track with keeping you all updated. COVID proved to be a challenge for everyone. In our case, it inspired my parents to move out of their retirement home and in with us for their last years. Our house was much livelier and exciting but as a result Pattie and I became much busier as their health declined.
Thankfully, the farm coasted through the pandemic with minimal damage although quite a few projects were postponed. The to-do list grew to the point where we, my workers and I, didn’t do much more than take care of the animals. Now that things feel to have settled down, it’s time to tackle that list and ensure we keep serving you the best products we have to offer.
My biggest initiative for the next year is to start making my own bio-char on the farm for use in our chicken sheds and on the farm land. I just bought a tank to do my first burns. Waiting for some wet weather to reduce the fire risk. I’ll report more on this as we get more experience.
Since I’m hoping to post more regularly, I’d love to hear feedback from you all. If you have any comments or questions about how we run the farm, broader farming techniques, etc. please send me an email or shoot me a message on Facebook and I’ll be sure to answer it either privately or through this blog.
I look forward to hearing from you.
David White
