Come on out!

Hello all, we are looking for a small group of people (ie; a family, a few friends, etc) to come and stay with us for a couple weeks this summer, right after school lets out, say June 12-27th. We will be fencing in our entire grove and setting up a rotational grazing system for our American Mulefoot Hogs, renovate a barn so that we can house more heritage turkeys next year, and move another barn to house our Poulet Rouge (slow growing) meatbirds. We will provide all food, a fully equipped camper that comfortably sleeps 4, and a Bourbon Red turkey come Thanksgiving. Naturally, we can't help but share our fresh air, prairie nights complete with stars and constellations, local and "fowl" entertainment (heritage turkeys, rare breed ducks, laying hens, meat birds) bonfire and gatherings. We hope to work hard during the day and enjoy great company in the evenings. Bring your instruments or hobbies; we have tons of room for you to express yourself. We would really like to encourage a family with young kids who wants to get out of the city for a while and have a different experience but would be gracious for anyone. If two weeks is hard to commit to but you would like to come out for a weekend or a couple days, bring your tent and make yourself at home (just call to let us know when your coming). The more the merrier. We plan to move the barn over a weekend when we can get the most help (this will also be the weekend of our annual potluck/bonfire). Please pass the word as it would be great to get to know some people that are interested and field any questions. Call us at the farm 320-752-4276 or email HumbleRootsHeritage@gmail.com Thank you!

It's that time of the month

What a relief...we finally got some new area fenced in and rotated our boars and sows, we believe that Mao Feng and Winona will have beautiful babes as Winona has long and curly hair and Mao Feng is physically perfect. We are really interested in what Freya does. Last season we saw her be bred (did I say that correctly and properly- you all know what I mean, right?) but she did not get pregnant. She is an absolutely huge and beautiful gilt with a quiet and calm demeanor and we love her! We really hope she does well this time so we placed her with Mr. Purple, who is the epitome of "Boar". He has long shaggy hair and his tusks are growing larger every week. He is moi handsome and a little rough around the edges (just like many of us like 'em!).

Still have some of Winona's "Litter of Perfection" for sale and they are all doing well and getting big...We are looking at January for processing. Penny's "Magnificent 7" and wonderful, 1.5 week old superstars. The r-u-n-t girlie, AKA "3 point 5", is now5.5 but that doesn't change her name, she'll always be "3 point 5" in my eyes. I can't believe she made it through her first night... We have some awesome sows! Have seen them out in the grass, skiddadle ye! Will update with photos later. This is a link to our kids last year but I like to revisit every once in a while...

For you viewing enjoyment, may I present...
