Happy October! It’s been all things fall around here as we gear up to begin our 2023 Fall CSA next week on October 9 and we would love for you to join in as a shareholder. Our shareholders are important members of our food and farm family. Their support allows us to invest in infrastructure […]
It’s amazing how widespread yet connected the organic growing community is these days. It provides so much opportunity for us to learn from each other and discover new-to-us techniques and practices that we would’ve never thought possible. A few years ago we (spearheaded by Mac) came to learn about ginger being grown organically somewhere a […]
PRE-ORDER YOUR TURKEY FOR THE HOLIDAYS The holiday season may seem a ways off but now is the perfect time to plan ahead and pre-order your organic, pasture-raised turkey for your holiday table! Our 100% organic, pasture-raised turkeys make for a memorable meal all year round, not just at Thanksgiving. That’s because we pride ourselves […]
Anyone else feel that slight chill in the air? Admittedly, the majority of the weather we’ve been having here in our neck of the woods has still been screaming summer but believe it or not, fall is just around the corner. That means back to school, the start of new (or refresh of old) routines, […]

Part of what we pride ourselves on here at Elmwood Stock Farm is giving our food and farm family the chance to fully experience the farm on all levels which is why we’re so excited to announce that U-Pick is now open here on the farm for the very first time! Currently a variety of […]
Here at Elmwood Stock Farm all of our livestock are kept on pasture and are 100% grass-fed with the addition of some added minerals and organic grains for our pigs and poultry. Many folks though are surprised to learn that we do feed hay and wonder how that fits in with our operation. Though we […]
If you’ve met me even once you’ve probably had the pleasure of hearing me pepper this phrase in our conversation. I admit that I have a tendency to wax poetic on this topic but it’s been a little while since I’ve covered it in some kind of depth so I figured that now would be […]
Earlier this year we answered the often-asked question of “what makes your beef so special?” and today we’ll be expanding on that and addressing what it means for our livestock to be grass-fed and grass-finished.
