What a glorious time of year Spring is on the farm! If you have never visited us, now is the ideal time! Mulberrys, loquats free for the picking. Puppies to pet for the kids and baby goats to watch, their antics will tickle the most hardened among us and make you laugh. Green grass a plenty and the birds are singing. We have camping spots for the outdoors type and barn apt for the indoor types and fine cottage for the city slicker's quiet vacation spot. Come see where your food comes from and ask us anything you want about how it is produced right here in front of your eyes. Our business is to produce food that heals or, for those with fore thought, prevents dis-ease. We prevent everything from cavities to cancer just by eating tasty food, sort of like people ate it 100 years ago before chemicals and vaccines and anti-life things.

Our friends, the Streets, are doing another great sheep seminar. For those interested in that see below for details.
The Second Annual Sheep Seminar is coming back to Shepherd's Hill Farm this spring. Mark your calendar to attend and learn how and why we raise sheep that are chemical free here in Florida. With over 20 years' experience, we have learned much valuable information along the way---a lot by trial and error. Come learn by word of mouth and save yourself the hassle of learning from your mistakes. Come learn what has worked and what has not worked, and learn what we have found to be the secret to our success.

New A2 Products: Cow kefir for pets! We hear this is making a big hit. People are willing to do for the dog things that they would not do for themselves. Go Fido! Our sales are up all around, and kefir too.  But we would like to announce now that from now on our kefir will be made from only A-2 milk. Why? Because if it is so healthy it should be made from the best. This whole thing with kefir for pets got me thinking and I would not want to think without making some changes right? So, one more……….Buttermilk too. From now on FCF will make kefir and Buttermilk from A-2 milk only.

We sure wish we could just sell all the non A-2 cows and move on with A-2 only, across the board, but alas I do not have the money to do that and I do not know where I would find enough cows even if I did have the $$. But soon enough this will happen here at FCF. Meanwhile this one little change will help, I hope.    

Doug Tallamy wrote a book called Bringing Nature Home about native plants. I highly recommend this book and here is a you tube on him…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w39g_f7BMUk 

And last, but most important, if you are not familiar with Sally Fallon spend a day at least on you tubes by her, your health will be improved by it.

Thanks for supporting a small, family farm and contributing to a more REGENERATIVE future,
Dennis and Alicia

Trial Date: October 21st, Please Come And Show Your Support

Hello Small Farm Enthusiasts, Our trial date is set for October 21st at the Suwannee County Courthouse in Live Oak, FL. We would like to ask you to drop everything and come to the trial. The more people we can get into that room the better off we will be. If you want to say something on our behalf you may be allowed but if you want to observe, only, that works too. The judge will be persuaded by numbers of people interested in this case.

Rabbit, Chestnuts, Micro-Greens And A Trial 9/20/19

Hello Small Farm Enthusiasts, We may be going to trial. We are alleged criminals for selling food without a proper license. They sent an undercover investigator to our farm to buy our food and caught us red handed. We are charged with a second degree misdemeanor just like a druggy. Yes it is a very sick world we live in when the farmer and his wife who neither have ANY previous record are accused of a crime and the crime is something that people have been doing since the beginning of time.

Kefir, a Glass a Day Will Keep the Doctor Away and Persimmons A-plenty 9/6/19

Hello Small Farm Enthusiasts, Kefir made from raw, 100% grass fed milk is an amazing super food loaded with friendly bacteria for your gut. A healthy person will have 2 to 6 lbs of healthy bacteria in their gut. Another way to say this is that a healthy person will have 80% good bacteria and 20% bad in the gut but most Americans have this ratio reversed. This imbalance affects the immune function as these friendly bacteria are a huge part of your immune system.
