Good afternoon to all! The Spring Season of 2022 has been quite lovely and the cattle herds have been enjoying their rotational paddock grazing for the last 6 weeks. Our main herd has already moved through 10 rotational paddocks. We are about to wrap up the spring calving season with 43 good looking healthy calves thus far. Plus, with a lot of clearing and fencing work, we have gotten our yearlings to a fresh new thick grazing paddock in which they love. We have gotten one quick round of haying done and hope to start in full force this coming weekend, in any three consecutive dry day intervals! Then somehow intermits all this, I got some spring veggie greens a growing and lots of potatoes planted.
Mainly, I wanted to let everyone know that the Foothill Frolic Farm Self Serve Farmstand is OPEN. As of this morning the 25th, there is a cooler full of fresh picked greens, all regenerative-organically grown as always! Everything is $2.00/Bunch or Bag.
Young Rainbow Swiss Chard Bunches
Baby Russian and Scotch Kale Bunches/Bags
Bagged Spring Giant Spinach
Also, as our main goal here is to have available 100% grassfed-regenerative-organically raised beef, I am proud to announce that we finally got to have our first steer butchered at the great family owned business of Russell Meat Packing in Castlewood, VA. I was even allowed to watch the butchering of our great 22 month old steer, Hayes June. He was born here on the farm to a great ole long time Mamma Cow named Hazel on June 11th in 2020. Moving forward, we plan on working with Russell Meat Packing so we can offer our finished out cattle, in meat share units, directly to local customers. More info on this coming soon, but for now we have Ground Beef Shares for sell.
Please pass this farm post along to anyone that you think would be interested in signing up for our beef shares. We plan on having a few very casual beef tasting and farm tour events this year, so it is good to sign up to our Farm Post by going to www.foothillfrolicfarm.com and signing up to Allie's Farm Post. These will be great opportunities for families and individuals to taste what our meat taste like, to see our cattle and fields, to learn what goes into raising from BIRTH to BUTCHER 100% grass-fed-regenerative-organically raised animals, and to sign up for our cattle meat shares.
Our farm's beef meat is truly delicious and is so very good for you as it is 100% grassfed-regenerative-organically raised. If you have been keeping up with our farm these last couple of years, and you are a beef eater, please give our ground beef a try.
