Doolittle Farm is the home of Bay, John, Nick and Hilary Hammond. We are a small family farm and pride ourselves with high quality diversified products.
On the farm
Our sheep have circled our lawn, our pasture, our neighbors lawn and will be heading down to join the chickens soon. I can’t believe it is already July!
Nick has been tedding and raking with his Spotted Draft Team; it is so exciting for us to have a team of horses on the farm. And now that our 1st cut is safely in the barn Pete and Paul can take a breather.
Hilary has been a wonderful asset to the farm this summer, home from her first year of college, she has taken over many of the chores and allowed us to expand our poultry and lamb numbers. She spends the morning helping Bay and the afternoons with her horse (Mo) and a new Halflinger pony (Carla). She can be seen in the photo; Mo to her right and Carla on her left.
Chicken
Please take a peek at the Cornish chickens in our photo album. We have some venturing out in the farm yard and some just getting started in the brooder. The chickens are enjoying pasture full of clover, treefoil and various insects. They are growing well and are selling quickly!
Eggs, eggs, eggs, a big year for eggs! Must be a combination of the grain (a mix of Vermont and New York grain) and the fields covered with high quality forage and insects because we seem to be having a banner egg year. Of course…any thing can happen so we keep our fingers crossed that they stay healthy and happy.
Stew Birds
We have stew birds available throughout the summer. These are best pre-ordered and make healthy, delicious stock/broth. For more information concerning broth please contact Bay.
Lamb
Our lamb is rotationally grazed during the summer months and always raised naturally; without the use of hormones or antibiotics. We have meat, wool, roving, custom spun yarn and pelts available.
