Can you Taste Pastured Chickens?
It is hard to think about Spring when outside it is Snowing Big TIME, but it will come with those warm days. These warm days mean grass will begin to grow and Somerset Farm goes into full motion...all feet and beaks moving!
The grass begins the Pastured Chickens farm enterprise so many of you have had the opportunity to eat such healthy and delicious chicken. This enterprise provides so many wonderful aspects to the land and healthy eating. I would encourage each of you to start thinking on signing up for this seasonal chicken operation. One customer has brought up the next best thing you might want too consider a used or new fridge/freezer. This can be a good food inflation proof item in the coming years!
Please visit this website for more information or call(540-460-5230). I have placed a image of the mobile chicken pen which provides fresh daily green salad bar for healthy growth and meat for your plate!

Somerset Farm Has Relocated
Somerset has been presented with a wonderful opportunity to move closer in to the township and connect with a "like mind" family in grass based farming. The move was overwhelming and distracting in many ways while keeping all the livestock happy and unstressed...not to mention me. The time passed swiftly once the hen layers were moved in November cold days. First item to take place was build a Hoop House or Ricken (aka. rabbit/chicken) Hotel. The hoop house was built with the help of Robert Fonner and my devoted family. The structure is 20' wide by 48' long with tallest ceiling height at 10'6".
The HOOP HOUSE has been instrumental in keeping all livestock weather secured and operational for eggs and new baby kits (rabbit babies). More to this story with pictures upcoming.
