The Secret Ingredients to a Joyful Processing Day...

Rich, piping hot coffee and cream...
A good hearty breakfast in the dim hours of the morning...
A warm scalder...
Cheerful music that makes us want to sing and dance (though not very long; our muck boots are heavy)...
Ready hands willing to work...
And most of all... Joy!
We're farmers striving to be good stewards of the land and by the gracious hand of Providence we were delighted to be able to offer our customers delicious fresh pastured chicken!

Snoring pigs on a rainy day...




Snoring in the Rain from Craig Lenz on Vimeo.
Rain falling on the leaves all around you, the smell of freshly turned dirt at your nose, the lingering taste of a ginger root, surrounded by the comforting grunts, huffs and snores of your co-pigaerators... Ah... the life of a pig on Six Arrows Farm!
