Not everbody knows this, but pigs raised on pasture really do eat grass. Here's how some of our heritage-breed hogs enjoy the weekend--with brunch! www.bluestemfarm.net.

Carrot harvest brigade. 

This spring, Aaron sowed a cover crop of rye in a part of the garden he's resting, or leaving fallow. Now the chickens are taking a turn on the same spot of land, fertilizing the soil with their manure and cleaning up the rye. More about us at www.bluestemfarm.net.
