Square Roots Farm started as a 30 member vegetable CSA on leased land with a few hundred broilers and 5 pigs.  In 2020, we’re bringing the CSA back after a two-year, baby-induced hiatus, and our livestock production has grown to include 1,000 laying hens, 7,000 broilers, 200 turkeys, 30 head of beef cattle, and 30 pigs per year, all rotated through our side hill pastures.  

In our visit, we’ll talk about the things we’ve learned along the way, the things we wish we’d done sooner, and the things we tried that never quite worked out.  We’ll dive into poultry systems and our grazing infrastructure, including permanent and temporary fencing, and water lines. We’ll visit our own Massachusetts state-licensed poultry slaughter facility, and talk about the essential equipment that makes that job efficient.  And we are happy to talk about how we started and what has guided our decisions along the way.
