Icelandic Lambs on the way

Our registered Icelandic sheep are getting close to lambing. The first lambs are due the end of this month. Vanessa is busy, busy building a modular lambing shelter...

Beverina must be part goat!

Little Bevera seems to be part goat! With all the deep snow, Bevera has managed to figure out how to get up onto the roof of the lamb's shelter...I had to take a steel shovel to remove the snow to keep the little rascal off the roof!

Hams & Bacons are in!

Order delicious pasture raised pork from your local farmers, Laura & Vanessa of Stark Hollow Farm.

Our hams and bacon are just in, having been cured and smoked to perfection by Vermont Smoke & Cure. There are both small hams and ham steaks. Bacons are sliced in 12 oz packages. We still have plenty of sausages, loin chops, and roasts. Ribs are almost gone. Order now!

An easy recipe for a shoulder roast:

• Place the roast in a large crock pot with 1-2 cups of water.
• Cook on high for 1 hour, reduce to low and cook for 6 - 7 hours.
• Remove pork, pour off juices, remove fat & any bone (keep for soup or as a wonderful treat for you pet!).
• Place pork back in crock pot and shred with two forks.
• Add your favorite BBQ sauce, a dollop of maple syrup and 1/4 cup of the juices.
• Stir and cook for one more hour on low.

Some nice organic whole wheat buns and you have delicious BBQ Pulled Pork Sammies! Trust me, you can't go wrong with this one and it is so easy!

Ember Comes Home

Ember comes home after his breeding season visit to Bloomfield Farm in Charlotte. Matt, co-owner of Bloomfield Farm and Vanessa off-load the rambunctious fellow. He was very happy to be home to his flock at Stark Hollow Farm.

Pearl Heads to West Corinth VT Farm

Our beloved Pearl "of Siam" headed off today in the back of a mini-van contentedly munching away on hay. She was sold as a bred ewe to a farm in West Corinth. We are sad to see Pearly leave us, but know that she will have a great place in West Corinth. We'll miss her complaisant gaze and bossy demeanor. She is a good, hardy mother and will make a fine addition to the flock at her new home. Farewell Pearl!

Orn Rocks Alaska!

From our friends in Alaska where Orn has apparently settled in nicely:

Hi Laura, Orn is awesome! Everybody at Delta cargo crowded around to take pictures as we transferred him from the crate to our trailer, lol. He is such a sweet guy, and of course a hit with his new ewes. An artist friend of mine is painting him also - he's quite popular here! Trimmed his hooves the other day and he was even polite about that. I only have this one lousy picture taken with my blackberry. I keep waiting for a chance to take a better one, but seems like it's either -10 degrees below zero or dark... I'll send more soon. Happy Holidays!
