Tri Gable Lea Farm is a family owned farm off the homestead of Mark Gostkiewicz & Naomi Niemann. We are growing wholesome produce in a bio-dynamic practice. We hope our market garden will eventually provide year-round food for CSA shares (community supported agrigulture).

Almost time to net the blueberries. Last year I pounded stakes in to trial the netting. It worked well but I didn’t want any permanent structure. Simple solution, some pvc pipes pounded flush to the ground means I can pull out the stakes and keep everything mowed but pop up the netting when I need it. I wasn’t sure if it would work but it did! Same stakes/materials, same dimensions as last year but with one simple upgrade. It did cost me anything because I had a pipe left under the deck from when we built the house.

Back from a fun chicken keeping class in Naugatuck. Last time I taught here I wasn’t late but I hit traffic that slowed me down and it was pouring rain…visiting today I drove right by it because I didn’t recognize anything on the outside. I had about an hour before class so I walked downtown, what a pretty area! I wish I had company to hang out at the cafes or bars and restaurants…there’s a lot to see in this strip.

Wow! 23 out of 24 fertile! These are available as straight run chicks, or I can grow them out until they can be sexed and introduced to your flock once they are fully feathered out. Half are lavender or noir crève cœurs (a rare French crested dual purpose breed that lays pale pink to white eggs) and the others are beautiful light Brahmas with feathered legs (a large dual purpose breed that lays buff brown eggs).

Let me know if you’re interested. I have some chicks now, and these Chicks hatch in 2 weeks. In June they will all be on pasture and old enough to be sexed.

I think a fair price for the time and effort would be $10/chick or $20 for a sexed pullet/cockerel for the crèves and half that price for the Brahmas.

I have a small run of a couple breeds. These are available as straight run chicks, or I can grow them out until they can be sexed and introduced to your flock once they are fully feathered out.

Half are lavender or noir crève cœurs (a rare French crested dual purpose breed that lays pale pink to white eggs) and the others are beautiful light Brahmas with feathered legs (a large dual purpose breed that lays buff brown eggs).

Let me know if you’re interested. I have some 1week old chicks now, and eggs in the incubator set to hatch in 2 weeks. In June they will all be on pasture and easily old enough to be sexed.

I think a fair price for the time and effort would be $10/chick or $20 for a sexed pullet/cockerel for the crèves and half that price for the Brahmas.

13 chicks hatched between yesterday afternoon and this afternoon. There are 3 light Brahmas (beautiful white birds with black tips and feathered legs), 5 crève coeur (French crested breed, like a Polish), and 5 blue/green/olive egg layers

I’m planning on keeping them but I’m willing to sell any. Reach out if you’re interested. If you want me to raise them until they can be sexed/introduced to adults in your folk, I’d be willing to reserve them for you for a reasonable price.
