Nothing to see right now but a couple rows of carrots were sown under that tarp this weekend - first official 2026 in-ground tunnel crop started.

Many trays of plant starts are in the basement grow room waiting their turn.

Looking forward to a great season!

Spent the summer babysitting these pasture-raised beauties. Reaping the rewards on a frozen February evening. Leftovers alone were worth every moment.

Pasture-Raised Chicken – Limited Supply Still Available + New: Frozen Homemade Chicken Broth! 🌿🐔

The holidays are behind us, and we're back to cozy, home-cooked meals—perfect timing for some truly nourishing pasture-raised chicken from your local farm!

These birds were raised outdoors on fresh pasture, moved to new grass twice a day for sunshine, bugs, and natural foraging. They get organic, non-GMO, soy-free feed plus plenty of garden scraps. Processed humanely and packaged right here on the farm in October.

Very limited supply left (we raised this batch mostly for ourselves, so once they're gone, that's it until our bigger 2026 season ramps up!).

Available now (pickup only — cash preferred):
Whole pasture-raised chickens | 4.5–5.7 lb average | $6.50/lb
Chicken feet (cleaned & peeled) | $5/lb
Chicken necks (great for broth) | $3 per 6-pack
NEW! Homemade Chicken Broth/Stock – Made in large batches from our own pasture-raised carcasses, slow-simmered for rich flavor, collagen, and nutrients. Frozen into convenient 2-cup cubes and vacuum-sealed. Perfect starter for soups, stews, rice, pasta, gravies, or sipping straight. Pure, no additives—just real farm goodness. | $5 per 2-cup cube

Pickup in the Hartwood area — DM Batey Fresh for exact address, availability, current inventory, and to reserve yours before they're all gone.

We're planning a much larger run for 2026 and will open pre-orders in the spring—if you're interested in getting first dibs next year, drop a note!

Thanks for supporting local, small-farm food. Nothing beats knowing exactly where your meal started. 🥣❤️

Pasture-Raised Chicken – Very Limited Supply (2026 pre-orders coming soon!)

These birds were raised the way chicken is supposed to be raised—out on fresh pasture, moved to new grass twice a day, every day. Sunshine, bugs, room to scratch and forage, plus unlimited organic, non-GMO, soy-free feed and garden scraps.

Processed and packaged by hand right here on the farm in October. Clean, humane, and local from start to finish.

Because we originally raised this batch for our own freezers, quantities are extremely limited. Once they’re gone… they’re gone until next season.

Available now (pickup only — cash only):
Whole pasture-raised chickens | 4.5–5.7 lb average | $6.50/lb
Chicken feet (cleaned & peeled) | $5/lb
Chicken necks (perfect for broth) | $3 per 6-pack

We are already planning a much larger run for 2026 and will be taking pre-orders in the spring. If you’d like first dibs next year, let me know!

Pickup in the Hartwood area — DM Batey Fresh for exact address, availability, and to reserve yours before they sell out.

Thanks for supporting a small family operation! 🐔🌿

In 2024 we did not do a great job preserving our tomatoes but this season we froze every tomato that we didn't eat fresh. We finally got all of the frozen tomatoes processed and we ended up with about 45 quarts of pasta sauce.

Next year's goal is to preserve more "whole" tomatoes for soups and chili.

We also dehydrate all of the skins and waste from the tomato mill then grind into tomato powder. This is great to punch up a recipe or you can add equal parts powder and water into a bowl and whisk into tomato paste.

Marathon canning session. 6 quarts pasta sauce, 6 pints beans, 20 pints of beef bone broth.

We still have a bunch of frozen tomatoes, boxes of potatoes, and a freezer of chicken carcasses to process to stock the larder.

Pasture raised chicken for sale!

These chickens were raised for our own consumption so the supply is VERY limited. (We are working on plans to raise more next year strictly for selling.)

Our chickens are pasture raised outdoors in fresh air and sunshine as nature intended. They are moved to fresh grass at least twice per day where they can scratch and forage for bugs. They receive organic, non-gmo feed and plenty of garden scraps.
These chickens were raised, processed, and packaged humanely right here on-site in October.

CASH only.
MUST pick up.
MUST DM Batey Fresh for details and address.

Whole chicken (4.5-5.5lb) - $6.50/lb
Feet - $5.00/lb
Necks - $3.00/6-pack

Tomato beds have been cleaned out for this season.

We've been slowly processing all of them into pasta sauce - 30 quarts so far and still some bags of tomatoes in the freezer.

The days are already too short to ripen tomatoes but tomato season will officially come to a cruel end tonight with temps in the 20's.

I know they look like crap in this photo but these plants blessed us with some wonderfully delicious nourishment this year. These tomatoes were all started from seed and transplanted almost 7 months ago.

Saddest day of gardening.

11/05/2025

Harvested our final potato bed yesterday. Only a single box and a little over 40 lbs but there are some really good sized potatoes in here.

10/14/2025

We will be processing these birds soon. We have applied for the Poultry Exemption with VDACS which allows us to sell processed chicken directly person-to-person.

We are going to make a handful available for purchase as whole birds. We are planning to raise more next year strictly to sell. Stay tuned.
