Our flock of Rhode Island Reds arrived a week and a half ago, and they are happily enjoying their new home on our farm. Laying is just in the beginning stages at this point, and we are looking forward to bringing their eggs to the farmers market in early June, along with some organic chicken.
The snow has finally melted here and we have just welcomed the addition of 100 beautiful Freedom Ranger chicks and a small batch of recently weaned piglets to our existing flock of 2 week old Cornish Crosses. Seeding has begun in the greenhouse and we are getting excited about plowing and tilling our fields next week in preparation for the summer planting.
Little Creek Farm is a small farm located in beautiful Brunswick, Maine. We are in our first season of pasture-raised livestock and egg production along with heirloom tomato and cut flower cultivation. Our livestock production includes both heritage and non-heritage breeds. We raise our animals to be well-nourished and happy, and rotate them through our pastures to provide them with continual access to fresh ground, keeping the animals healthy and improving the farm's pasture soil quality and fertility. We will be selling our products at the new Bowdoinham Farmer's Market on Fridays and at the Crystal Springs Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings, beginning in June. We have submitted our application for organic certification through MOFGA.
