A small farm, and whatever is ready this week.

Cut flowers and whatever came out of the garden this morning, at a stand on the highway, open daily, 9am to dusk. Pasture raised pork boxes from late October.

The stand changes with the weather. This is the shape of the season rather than a promise about today. What is actually on the table is written up daily on the farm stand page.

Month by month, in more detail: what is in season on the Key Peninsula.

The pork

Raised in the trees, not on concrete.

Ours root through fir and pasture with shelter and room to move. They grow at their own pace rather than to a schedule, and they are handled by the people who raised them.

There are always hogs here. Our breeding stock and the groups coming up behind them move through the trees on rotation. The first group to go is at Windy N now, a USDA inspected plant, being processed and aged, and those boxes come back late October, frozen and vacuum packed, collected here at the farm.

What they eat and how the ground is managed is set out in how we farm.

The next litter is due within the month. The round of boxes after this one is about six months out.
