An Incredible Farm Grown Breakfast

Farm Grown Breakfast

There’s nothing quite like having a breakfast, or other meal, that is grown or raised on the Farm! Not everything we eat here is grown or raised here, but we’re getting to a point that nearly every meal has something from here! We have our own milk, sometimes we make cheese, we have eggs, chicken, bacon, sausage, pork, fruits, berries, vegetables, and even some herbal teas! It’s so rewarding! Come visit us at Briden Farm, where the tea is always on and the Coffee is not far behind! Friends and Family Always Welcome! 

Our First Meal Grown On Briden Farm

First Home Grown Meal

Tonight was special, we’ve owned this place for one year and two weeks, to the day. So, this spring we used goats and pigs to clear land for pasture and some of that pasture we turned into garden. Unfortunately we won’t be getting much of a crop as the soil is very nitrogen deficient. 

As a result, I don’t expect to have enough potatoes for Winter, and the green and even the yellow beans I interplanted with them are stunted. So, we figure we might as well enjoy them now. 

We also have turned our Berkshire Pigs into Pork at this point and that’s currently being processed at the butcher. Today we got the heart and liver. We also picked enough new potatoes, and green and yellow beans, to make a nice supper. We actually bought the onions for the liver and onions, but everything else was grown here. Our first meal grown on Briden Farm. The Liver was like sweet, juicy, and tender… Steak! 

Celebrating One Year As Briden Farm

2020 Photos Briden Farm

This beautiful property has a History that dates back to the time of Simon Imbert, and the house dates back to 1870 when it was built by James & Susan (Rice) Mullen for whom Rice Mullen Road was named. The Property then passed to James & Susan’s daughter Lena Mullen and her husband Fred Harris, son of Charles & Theodosia Harris. Thusly, passing to Fred & Lena’s son Jack Harris by deed from Lena, circa 1954. Then, to us on the 4th of August 2020. Interestingly enough, we are Distant Cousins by both blood and adoption! So, the Property remains “In the Family “. We’ve come to call the place our Homestead Farm, Briden Farm, named after the current owners, Brian & Denis.

The photo at the top of this page depicts what the place looked like when we first discovered it, and the following slide show tries to show some of the work we’ve done in our first year, here at Briden Farm.
