Grass Fed Beef Community Supported Agriculture
I think it is safe to say ( but not very loudly..) that winter is over… We did, however, have a little frost on the grass and windshields this morning. It has been a long winter and we are very happy to be working in the sunshine and warmer temperatures instead of the frigid cold and snow.
Spring is definitely in the air. We have meat chicks growing, We just moved them to their juvenile coop. They will be going outside before to long. Once the nights warm up a tad bit more. [Read more…]
We currently have around 150 layers, about half are Golden Comet and the others are Rhode Island Red.
Both breeds of chicken are hearty birds and good producers. [Read more…]
Kristin and I spent the day splitting and stacking wood. Each year we burn at least 6-8 cord in the wood boiler that is in the background of this picture. So far this year we are on schedule for firewood.
Grass Roots Farm is owned and operated by the husband and wife team, Tom Bohan and Kristin Bohan. The farm uses holistic and sustainable practices to produce grass fed beef, free range chickens, and select plants and vegetables. The connections between the sun, soil, plants, and livestock are nurtured and cultivated to improve the quality, nutritional value, and diversity of local food production. The farm strives to improve the soil and the nutritional value of the pastures by using rotational grazing to maximize feed value while building soil fertility. The emphasis is on agricultural practices that respect and value the natural rhythms of livestock while sustaining and improving natural resources. Grass Roots Farm raises 100% grass fed organic beef from a herd of Devon and Angus beef cattle. Animals raised on the farm are treated with respect and compassion from birth to death
Grass Roots Farm is a 200-acre property located on West Brookfield Road in New Braintree, Massachusetts.
Tom Bohan and Kristin Bohan currently own Grass Roots Farm under a sole proprietorship.
