Sycamore Tree Fruit

sycamoreWhile in the yard this morning, I noticed brown, feathery looking somethings floating around me.

My first thought was that one of my four-legged friends has just killed a bird and the feathers were the aftermath.

Where do eggs come from?

eggsWe often find ourselves explaining to awed, and sometimes a bit shocked, customers about how eggs are produced.

We encourage customers to do their own research on the food they eat, but here are the basics and some good links.

Mini Greenhouse Deal

mini_greenhouseI recently spied this greenhouse in a box on the clearance shelf at the local TSC and my radar started to trigger.

Jason is teaching me to be a patient, smart shopper, which is not something that comes naturally.

A Piece of Trash a Day

trash

I’m sure my Facebook friends are tired of me mentioning how great it could be if everyone picked up ONE piece of trash per day.

It doesn’t have to be a big piece.  Just pick up anything that catches your eye and doesn’t belong in a waterway or in an animal’s belly.

Market Garden

farm produceOver the last several years, Infinity View Farm has stepped into the world of growing our own food.

We originally purchased a small Belted Galloway herd and gave the all natural, grass-fed path a try, resulting in some of the best tasting beef I have ever had, anywhere!

Despite the great results, I decided that being a herdsman wasn’t the life for me and I’m now a vegetarian and the cows went to live with a friend in Tennessee.

Fresh Farm Eggs

EggsEggs are a great superfood!  Containing only 77 calories, they are rich in protein, phosphorous, selenium, omega-3, and vitamins A and B just to name a few.

Our girls spend the majority of their day eating bugs and grass and are supplemented with a GMO-free, locally made pellet in addition to yogurt, pumpkins and other veggies and scraps.

For their safety, they go in their coop at dusk and then back out again at dawn.

I would live their life.

We currently deliver eggs to some businesses in Lexington, and we will also be selling them at the local farmer’s markets.

Updated pickup sites and market schedules will be posted as the weather and egg production heats up.

$4.00/dozen

Bees + Love = Honey

I love watching these ladies hard at work in my gardens.  Their vigorous collecting and buzzing about has some really amazing consequences.

In 2017, we are adding two bee colonies to the landscape to enhance the farm’s ecosystem, diversify and produce some honey for the family and community.

This is a pretty new adventure for us, so, check in frequently to see how the setup is going!

We took our first bee class in March:

Healthy Living

Every time I harvest and prepare food from the farm, I feel good.

There is just something really satisfying about biting into a tomato that has spent its whole life growing on the farm or scrambling some eggs for breakfast that were gathered that morning.  There is no worry about whether our farm-raised food will taste great or if it’s going to expose me or my family to some undocumented weirdness.

We are what we eat, so, why not eat food that we know is good for us!
