The less pretty (and less talked about) side of farming.

Our sheep flock was thriving until the chilly temperatures and days of cold, soaking rain hit. Now, four of our sheep are struggling to bounce back.

We’ve moved them to our hospital pen, where they’re sheltered from the weather, have nutritious forage, and are getting a little extra TLC. Now, we’re hoping their immune systems kick back in and they turn a corner.

This is the part of farming that doesn’t make the pretty pictures. The days when animals struggle, the weather wins, and even doing everything you can doesn’t guarantee the outcome you hope for.

We care deeply about our animals and we work hard to give them the best lives possible. But sometimes, despite our best efforts, things are out of our hands. And that’s heartbreaking.

Farming is beautiful, rewarding, messy, and sometimes downright hard. We’re grateful to be part of it all, even on the tough days.

So we’ll do what we always do and keep showing up with grit, determination, hope, and a few extra pets. ❤️🐑

This is what happens when I try to get one normal picture of our new delivery boxes…😂 we got there but it took a few tries!

We’re SO excited to start testing our 100% curbside recyclable delivery packaging this week! Getting to this step has taken months of planning and preparation from the whole team, so we’re all excited to finally be at the testing phase.

Over the next few weeks, some of you might spot one of our fancy new boxes arriving on your doorstep! We’re still fine-tuning things, but our goal is to make deliveries more efficient, eco-friendly, and eventually expand our delivery area!

It’s a big project, but we’re excited for another step towards making our farm as efficient and sustainable as possible.



Stay tuned for more updates…a new website, an updated delivery system and a big announcement about our solar project.

One of the most important parts of raising sheep on pasture is keeping them moving. 🐑🌱
At Copicut Farms, we rotate our sheep onto fresh pasture regularly so they have access to new forage while the ground behind them gets a chance to rest and regrow.
That rotation is especially important with sheep because they can be very susceptible to internal parasites. Moving them frequently and avoiding overgrazing helps reduce that pressure and keeps the flock healthier.
It also helps the pasture itself. Grazing stimulates new growth, manure returns nutrients to the soil, and giving each paddock time to recover helps us build stronger, healthier fields over time.
Of course, moving sheep sounds simple until you actually try it. It usually involves moving fence, dragging water, shifting shelters, checking grass, and then standing at a gate wondering why every sheep suddenly seems deeply suspicious of the perfectly good pasture on the other side. 😂
That’s where Lucy earns her keep. She helps us get everyone moving in the right direction and makes a job that could take forever go a whole lot smoother.
It’s more work, but it’s one of those systems that just makes sense to us. Healthier sheep, healthier soil, and better pasture for the next rotation.

They’re out!! 🦃🦃🦃

The turkeys have officially moved out to pasture! Usually, we crate them one by one and move them in small groups. This season, we decided to try walking them over instead. A stroll with a flock of turkeys…what could possibly go wrong? 😂

Thankfully, everyone made it to the right place, and they’re now enjoying sunshine, fresh grass, and plenty of room to explore.

For the first 24 hours, they mostly hung around the gate, chirping at us every time we walked by, as if to say, “Are you sure we’re supposed to be out here?” Now they’ve gotten the hang of it and roam around like a wild little gang, foraging and playing.

Watching the animals settle into life on pasture never gets old. Seeing them stretch their wings, graze, and make themselves at home is one of the best parts of this work. There’s a lot that goes into getting them here, but moments like these make it all worthwhile.

Some weekends on the farm are beautiful. This was not one of them.

By the time we stopped counting, nearly 6 inches of rain had fallen, turning pastures into mud, soaking bedding, and leaving animals—and farmers—cold, wet, and miserable.

This nor’easter hit our little corner of the world hard. Thankfully, we didn’t have any major damage, but keeping the animals safe and comfortable became a race against the rain.

After spending Saturday at market, we came home and headed right back outside to move sheep shelters to drier ground, replace soaked bedding, and warm up a few chilled lambs. You’d be amazed what a women’s size small Carhartt jacket can do for a 40-pound lamb. 😂

That’s the thing about farming in bad weather: the regular chores don’t disappear. They just get wetter, heavier, muddier, and take about twice as long.

We thought we were pretty well prepared for the storm, but the rainfall predictions—at least for our little corner of the world—were way off. Animals that should have been perfectly fine were suddenly soaked to the bone, and some of the places we expected to stay dry simply didn’t.

So, regardless of how badly we wanted to go inside, sit on the couch, and build a completely unnecessary fire, we pulled our boots back on and got to work.

By sundown Saturday, we had most of the animals buttoned up pretty well: dry bedding, shelters moved, lambs warmed, and everyone settled in.

And then Sunday morning came…and it was still raining.

So we started all over again.

It’s not the glamorous side of farm life, but it’s a very real part of it. Sometimes good animal care looks less like a beautiful pasture at sunset and more like two tired farmers standing ankle-deep in mud, trying to convince a wet sheep to please just go into the nice dry shelter we moved specifically for him.

Now, respectfully, we would really like the rain to stop. ☀️😂

Turkey Reservations Are Open!!!
Thank you everyone for your patience. We have heard from so many of you about how excited you are to reserve your turkey. It is so incredibly flattering to know how much our turkeys mean to so many local families.
If you would like to reserve a turkey for the holiday, please follow the link in our bio or visit us at your local farmers market.


Full disclosure - these are last year’s turkeys, our 2026 flock is still only about 10 inches tall - scroll to the last photo for those guys. They will be headed outside next week and will be living their best lives foraging and growing!

The 2026 flock will be this big before we know it!

Here’s this year’s batch of trouble makers. They may be our rowdiest bunch yet! 🫣
