Grass fed lamb @ tamarack hollow farm, union square nyc today. It’ll go fast so claim yours now.

Mike’s kids, Belle, Silas, Gus, and Zeke, playing with the lambs…

But it’s not all old time oxen work. We still bust out the 90 horsepower John Deere and the ten foot harrows when it comes time to manage the bare fallows

What do cattle watch instead of tv? Our belted Galloway beef herd looks on in horror and disgust (or maybe just confusion) as our Dutch belted oxen plow furrows for potato planting. Mike is heading the team and Will Bennington is “surfing the plow.” You can see why we’re excited to get a plow with a guide wheel.

Meet Zeke. He is a farm kid- Mike’s youngest. And a cute one. When he grows up he is going to be a farmer (in photo one he demonstrates his weeding technique- those hands are moving so fast even a camera can’t catch them!), a butcher (in photo two he demonstrates his chopping technique), and a hunter, professionally (photo three he demonstrates his shooting accuracy). Who says rural life thwarts ambition?

Maximum cuteness achieved! Our second Beltie calf, a little girl this time.

Heritage breed turkey poults… Again, beware, elevated levels of cuteness.

The first strawberry of the season!

Plowing furrows with our oxen, Thunder and Lightening, to plant potatoes.

Baby strawberries forming. Only another couple of weeks before we start to see the first fruit blush!

Strawberries just starting to form in vt, while I’ve already seen strawberries and tomatoes at union square. Guess thats what new jersey is for… Anyhow- organic, vermont berries- keep them coming!
