Free Range Pastured Chickens & Rabbits

Our Free Range Chickens are moved daily and get to sample at a nice new Salad Bar daily! Thanks to our easy to build, inexpensive, upcycled, free range chicken tractor.

We do a lot of upcycling and this Chicken Tractor is made of 6 old Mink Cages and can house up to 54 Chickens. Although we usually only do about half that number, allowing them to have more space. 

We move the Chicken Tractor daily, and we cover it with wires and tarps, that protects the birds from the elements and they are on pasture for about eight months out of the year. It’s a lot of work, but it really does make for happy chickens! 🐔🐔🐔

Happier chickens lay more eggs!

Farmhouse Recipes: Oatmeal Pancakes

Oatmeal Pancakes

One of our favourite recipes here at Briden Farm is Oatmeal Pancakes. We have used the recipe without fail for years, and we found the original recipe in …

The Harrowsmith Cookbook Vol Two

The Harrowsmith Cookbook Volume Two

Of course we always mix it up a bit! On Purpose! Although it’s great exactly as it’s written on Pg. 21 of Harrowsmith Cookbook, we still like to make little adjustments. As we do with most all our food! 

So, here’s what we do…

We pour 2.5 cups of Briden Farm Goat Milk over 1.5 Cups of Oatmeal. Usually letting it sit for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile we sift together a cup of flour, a Tablespoon of brown sugar. Then about a half teaspoon of Sea Salt, and a teaspoon Cinnamon. The last two are Watkins Products. Click Here to Learn More About Those

We then mix in a Tablespoon of Baking Powder

Once all those dry ingredients are are well mixed, we add it to the Oatmeal Mixture. Then add a Briden Farm Egg, and a 1/4 Cup of Oil. Mixing Well. 

We usually mix this the night before, and let it Sit in the fridge overnight. 

The fresh Goat Milk, Free Range Egg, and Watkins Products make this taste so good! Plus, we find it so filling we only eat about half the number of Pancakes! Which means we often have extras! Would You like Some? 

You may be wondering why we called this Post, Farmhouse Recipes! That’s because we hope to bring a Weekly Podcast of Farmhouse Recipes to our Briden Farm Podcasting Channel every Week on Friday Mornings.

Oh! Don’t forget the Toppings!

Egg Soup, Pork Chops, and Sticky Rice

Another great meal! We may not have much money, but we always seem to eat well.. We have a visitor with us for a month, Daisuke from Japan, who come to us through the Wwoof program. He made the Egg Soup which was very good! The rice is pretty much a staple for us, and we’ve always ate a lot of it! A bit of left over macaroni salad, dressed with Watkins Potato Salad Mix. The Pork Chops were from our Woodland Pastured Pigs. All in all it was a beautiful meal.
