The Wagon Blueberry And Chestnut Farm

People are already asking when we’re opening for the season this year. So Here is a little update of what’s going on at the farm and what to expect.

We’ve planted 150 new bushes this year! They won’t have fruit for a couple of years because we have to prune the blossoms to make sure the plants put all their energy into developing a healthy root system. But you can expect at least double what we have had the last few years to be available in the coming years. We hope to keep planting more every year.

******We plan to open up around Memorial Day for this years season and stay open u til the Fourth of July or until the berries are gone.

We have moved the Aquaponics system and the Worm farm to the front to create an outdoor class room and it is totally off grid. Lots to learn.

If you’re interested in scheduling a class as a group or just as an individual please reach out. Topics include :

*Fundamentals of Aquaponic Farming

*How to raise Composting worms

*How to make and use Biochar

* Composting 101 and advanced Composting for scaling up from backyard to commercial systems

*Market Gardening basics for Vegetables

*Growing Roses, Blueberries and various plant propagation

*Overhead Irrigation design and construction

*Permaculture basics, Food forest design and construction.

The Wagon Farm is a one stop shop for all kinds of information on how to Grow food and develop more resilient Food systems.

We are proud to announce that we have four months old, Pure bred Meishan piglets for sale.

Meishan pork is highly regarded for its exceptional quality and unique characteristics. Here are some key attributes that make Meishan pork stand out:

1. Rich Flavor: Meishan pork is known for its intense flavor profile, offering a sweet and juicy taste that enhances various dishes.

2. Tender Texture: The meat is remarkably tender due to the pig's genetics and the way it is raised. The high intramuscular fat content contributes to its melt-in-your-mouth texture.

3. Marbled Fat: The distinct marbling in Meishan pork is a significant quality factor. This marbling not only adds flavor but also keeps the meat moist during cooking, resulting in a succulent eating experience.

4. Juiciness: The large fat deposits contribute to the overall juiciness of the meat, making it perfect for roasting, grilling, or slow-cooking.

5. Versatility: Meishan pork is incredibly versatile in the kitchen. It works well in a variety of culinary applications, from traditional dishes to contemporary cuisine.

6. Sustainable Practices: Meishan pigs are often raised in humane, sustainable conditions, leading to high-quality meat that consumers can feel good about.

Overall, Meishan pork is a premium choice for those seeking rich flavor, tenderness, and superior quality in their meat.

Also know for having large litters. Our last litter was 16.

If interested please message us and let us know, thank you.
