October is Pork Month: The Quiet Skill That Makes Good Pigs Better ⬇️
“The true measure of a farmer is the health and happiness of every single pig.”
And the way you get there is simple: consistency.
Every pig learns your patterns.
Every pig reads your body language. Every pig responds to the way you show up, day after day, chore after chore.
When routines stay predictable, pigs settle. When handling stays steady, pigs trust.
And yes, the pigs will let you know when you’re late. They notice. They remember. They absolutely keep score.
Good stockmanship isn’t loud.
It’s not flashy. It’s the quiet, everyday consistency that keeps pigs eating, growing, and thriving.
Happy Pork Month 🐷 Here’s to the farmers who show up the same way we do every day, and to the pigs who notice.

Here at Honey Tree Farm, we wholeheartedly agree! 🐖🐽🐷
We love our pigs (they certainly love us 😉) and a few of our pigs over the years, have been our farm favorites❣️

Well, better late in the season than never… we are processing honey today. Frames look good & hopeful for several gallons.

The doors have come down to contain our operation & keep the pesky bees at bay. 🐝

One morning this week when I set the sugar water jars out for winter feeding, I was stung maybe 8 times - that hasn’t happened in forever! I do not want stung again while processing today… 🤨
🍯😋

Also, we have 9 containers of comb for sale - we haven’t had lovely comb like this in several years.

So, to compound the trials, tribulations, heat exhaustion and pressures of farming all things animals and plants in 90-99 degree heat waves, rec’d notice today from the EEOC that someone named Holly McAvoy of MI has filed a discriminatory claim against the farm. Oh.My.Word - what absolute idiocy! Have never, ever heard of this individual. This person has never, ever contacted the farm through any avenue nor has applied for work at Honey Tree Farm. I have never, ever been asked to offer an ag-tour for this individual and yet, have accommodated several with a spectrum of disabilities in the name of farm education for most over the years. So, another headache to manage when my plate already has things of necessity falling off it… I am out of patience in dealing with sheer lunacy and people preying on hard-working farmers…!

SOLD!

Unsexed peachick available for $45, born mid-June 2026. Mama hatched one again this year so we sell our chicks & feathers to offset feed cost.

Peacocks are majestic birds, eat little and ez to care for. They can live up to 25 years in captivity and mature at three years old. Our beautiful birds are the eye-candy of the farm!

Freezer Mangaliseta lard half off sale- 16 oz of delicious, healthy fat tubs @ $4 each. Great for pies, baking, and frying.

It’s still springtime and my farm birds are laying consistently. Not sure what has changed this season but I have duck eggs available almost daily. $8/dz for XL delicious, fresh, nutritious eggs that add volume to baked goods and buttery tasting to eat.

Our Silver Appleyard ducks are such funny characters & enjoy their days around the pond. They are large birds & consume a lot of feed, in addition to grazing all day. Animal feed is very costly but quality feed & supplements produce healthy birds and quality eggs. Washed, sanitized, refrigerated, following FDA guidelines.

Reach out if wanting to try some. $8/dz or $7 each if buying in multiples this month. There’s great value and nutrition in a dozen eggs! 🥚🦆

It’s already a dry and rough spring for our animals. The cracks are indicative of how dry it is. End of April and we’re already in a drought.

The chicken yard will need to be moved a bit to get them over to a grassy area - meaning, a lot of extra work…

We are letting the chickens out of an afternoon to free range the farm. But that practice comes with great risk - and lots of havoc as they just tear up anything they can! 🦅 🦊 🦝 🐈 🤨

Elderberry bush roots for sale- 3-5 root pots for $15. I’m not selling “plants” but sprouting roots.

Originally purchased John, York & Allen varieties from Stark Brothers nursery. Each bare root can cost ~ $20!

Our plants are prolific this year so we’ve dug up several & potted to share.

Elderberries should be pruned about waist high during dormancy and will still grown ~ 6-7’ high. The bush can grow as high as 10’. This is a prolific plant and will set off numerous shoots once established so your plantings will multiply season over season… This plant does well in full sun, needs watered well the first year & pretty forgiving.

Elderberries make for a great living hedge for privacy or a wind block. It’s foliage stays green until frost. The May flowers are so fragrant and can be made into jelly & tea. The elderberry fruit clusters ripen June-July and ez to pick. The fruit is medicinal & can be juiced, frozen, dried, made into jelly, syrup, w**e, gummies…

If interested, we have several pots of roots left from the Garden Expo. Come pick out a couple and add medicinal fruit to your landscape st an affordable start up!
