Two Goats Milking At Briden Farm

So, it’s that time of year when we all have garden wastes, Halloween leftovers, pumpkins, squash, old hay and straw bales, etc. As it happens Goats and Chickens love all those things! So, if you’re wondering what to do with your old pumpkins and straw bales and so on, our critters would love to have them. You can drop them off, come feed them to our animals when we’re here, or we may even be able to come get them. We can also make use of your raked leaves and yard scraps for our compost.

Thanksgiving at Briden Farm

Thanksgiving Dinner 2021

Although, as expected, it’s going to take a few years before our Gardens are producing the way we’d like them, we do have lots to be thankful for this year. We have survived our first 14 months! It’s not all been easy, we have dealt with everything from sickness to pestilences. We’ve witnessed new births, dealt with deaths, and rejoiced in the living. 

This Thanksgiving our meal is a combination of the woodland pasture raised Berkshire pork that we raised. Vegetables given to us by a friend, pickles and preserves from both Grandma’s and from our Garden!

We’ve also had our own eggs, milk, cheese, butter, and apple sauce and fresh veggies, over the past months and even delicious farm raised chicken, duck, rabbit, and pork! 

We reflect at this time to give thanks not only for all the above, and each other, but for our families, friends, and friends who are family. So, we want to close by saying how special you all are to us and wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!
