Price Comparison- Sakonnet Farm chicken vs. Grocery Store pricing
We raised our own meat birds, Freedom Rangers. We chose that breed because they have a darker & more flavorful meat than the Cornish Cross. The Cornish Cross are the huge white birds that you see in the factory farm pictures, the ones that grow so fast they have heart attacks. Freedom Rangers are a […]

What’s new at Sakonnet Farm
It has been a VERY long time since I have written a blog post, hard to believe at one point I was posting every day. Now that there are no kids home with me, everything is different. We have been very busy on the farm this summer. We have new fencing, new animals, new plans….. Please […]

Broody Hens & Hatching Chicks
We have new chicks at Sakonnet Farm, hatched the old fashioned way. This is the second time we had the mama birds do the work for us, my post about the first time can be found here. When the chickens get broody, they spend all day sitting on their eggs, regardless if you go in there […]

Hubby went to the auction last night to get A (singular- meaning one) friend for Maggie last night. I stayed home with my eldest to catch up on homework & sleep. MISTAKE! He came home with- THREE friends for Maggie- At least 6 of these- (top hats I think) A Peacock! And a duck!! At […]
Wonderful day Working in the Woods
I tried to capture the essence of what we did today over at the farm, but it was pretty hard to photograph. We were working on getting a space for the goat and some of the chickens to get over there. There was a shed/coop from when the original owner was there. So we started […]
Sakonnet Farm is becoming a reality
I don’t think I’ve posted in a week- and I really miss it. But, thinks have been crazy over here (that’s not new) in a very different way. Monday night we bought Maggie- out new goat. She is so cute- I have a couple great stories to tell, but I’m so tired I can’t type […]
