THIS FARM IS SEASONAL IN NATURE. Grazing, milking, birthing, planting and harvesting take place from March - November.

During the winter months the animals are brought in to the barns where they are fed on round bales of haylage and minerals. The animals in the barn are building barnpack for summer composting. The ground is frozen and usually covered in snow.

Early spring begins with lambing, and continues at high speed until the sauerkraut and kim-chi have been made and the root crops harvested in the fall.

In summer, gardens are tended, cattle and sheep are moved through pastures and fields; dairy foods are in abundance: thick cream and whole milk from Devon cows and fresh cheeses; ice cream is part of the hot summer nights. Sometimes cattle and sheep are moved far up the dirt road to get to new pasture.

The Raw Milk Theater is in the middle of August, leading round again to fall and to harvest. The farm expresses the cycles of nature.

Biodynamic preparations are applied to the gardens, pastures and compost in spring, summer and fall.
