It’s been two weeks since our grandpa Harold Hust, “Gramps,” passed away. Two weeks that he’s been enjoying heaven and we’ve been adjusting to the new “normal” without him here with us. It’s a bittersweet normal, thinking about how much he would have enjoyed this beautiful spring weather, going on outings with the family, and […]

The tail-end of April is an exciting time for all of us in New York as the weather turns for the better and the earth comes to life. Our big excitement at the farm this spring has been our Weekly Produce Program which we launched a few weeks ago. We are currently supplying our customers with produce

Well, spring has finally sprung and it’s a great feeling! The only sad part about the change of season is that our goat kids, who were born in February, are already ready to fly the coop. They’re 8 weeks old now and eating solid food (while sneaking swigs from their mothers, of course) and they are more

Meet Beauty. And meet Beast. Aren’t they cute?! Beauty and Beast were born to their mother, Cammie, on Wednesday of last week, exactly one week ago. I remember that it was a Wednesday because Casey and I had Bible study later that night, and we ate a speed dinner on the way there because Cammie had just

If you haven’t heard, we’ve had our first goat birthing at Hust Roost Farm! We’ve been waiting for this day for what seems like forever! Last year, our breeding wasn’t successful (whether it was our technique or a “dud” buck) so we waited and waited and the babies never came. This year, we knew the goats were

I wasn’t really “into” yogurt growing up. I tried them all– Trix, Go-Gurt, Dannon, Yoplait– but the runny textures and fake fruity flavors just didn’t do it for me. I would often trade away my yogurt at the lunch table, and eventually my mom stopped packing it. (Thanks for packing my lunch, though, Mom!) But… the tides turned completely

Having a farm, even a hobby farm, has its high and low moments. Some projects turn out to be more than we can handle and some end in disappointment, but some things go just like they’re supposed to, or even better than expected! Let’s just say that we are on one of these farmer “cloud-nines” this week. We
