Feeding the Masses
Some people ask me if small farms can produce enough food to feed the world. Asking this question lets me know they’ve already been inoculated with the idea that they can’t. The current industrial food system is good at messaging, and they’ve been successful in proliferating this misconception. In addition, I’m not alone in my [...]
Rose and Morris
Two new piglets scooped up over the weekend. The weather is pretty chilly and an old sow that might become sausage pretty soon had a rough go at farrowing in the middle of the night. She had 6 pigs and only two were left alive after the first 24 hours. I popped them in my [...]
The Holiday Feast
Christmas (and other holidays) is upon us. Malls are playing music, shopping is getting crazy, cards are flying around and, most importantly, families are getting together to share love, gifts and food. As we start planning our parties and dinners, please consider getting some delicious local meat from a farm near you. Cane Creek Farm [...]
Chickens and Pigs
They get along so well. These are my hens visiting a new mama in the barn. The chickens eat fly larvae and other bugs plus stray pig feed around the barn every day. They help keep it clean while depositing little nitrogen-rich poops all over the place.
Mini Burgers
This is what glasshalfull does with our ground beef. They are adorable and delicious. Kudos to the executive chef, Adam Cobb, who comes by every market to pick his meat up personally.
Bess on a break
I’m walking our biggest ossabaw sow, bess, to the barn today so she can farrow (give birth) in peace. Here she is taking a cool-down break in one of our ponds.
Red Jungle Fowl
We have many chickens on the farm here, many of which are the product of barnyard in-breeding, mutt-making and the freedom to choose their mates. Since the owners have always been interested in heritage and endangered breeds, we also have many old-timey and rare breeds from different parts of the world. I believe, from all [...]
Triple Hump
Our pigs are hilarious. I think these are all boys.
Lamb head butt
We started breeding our sheep this week which means sorting out the fit mothers and creating two groups. Sheep gestate for 150 days and we want babies in the spring for good grass and warm weather. I set up a corral for the sheep in the summer and although it works really well, I managed [...]
Snuggly Pigs
The only real weakness pigs have is for cold and wet. They get pneumonia if they don’t have a warm, dry place to sleep. We accomplish that with tin huts and the pigs keep it dry inside with their body heat. These two pregnant mamas are belly-to-b...
