We are excited to welcome our first batch of chicks to the farm, first batch of Forsyth Family Farm chicks that is! We are raising 2,400 birds for meat this season, double what we have done in the past. We are grateful to be able to expand production, and also a little nervous! So many animals to care for, but in the end a lot more bounty to feed our community with, so here's to a successful chicken growing season. Along with our first chicks, we got our first transplants in the ground, which feels incredible. We planted salanova salad mix, winterbor kale, and rainbow swiss chard. We will be direct seeding some radishes, turnips, and more baby greens very soon too, so needless to say things are well on their way! 

We are slowly but surely moving towards the bloom of Spring. Soon we will be buzzing with more animals, delicious crops, and just so much life! We are so grateful to have this land and the opportunity to provide more food than we ever have before. Enjoy the video below for a glimpse into what we have been up to!
