Rudd Farms attended the last two St. Helena Farmers Markets to promote our amazing heritage turkeys that Farmer Omar has been raising up on Mt. Veeder. Omar flew to Kansas to pick up the poults from the Good Shepherd Poultry Farm, owned by Frank Reese, a fourth generation poultry farmer. He brought them back and has been raising them on an acre of land and feeding them a 100% vegetarian diet. All of the turkeys are heritage breeds including Bronze, Bourbon Red, Narragansett, and White Holland. Heritage turkeys make up less than 1% of the 200 million turkeys raised in the United States. They are considered by many chefs to be the best turkey for Thanksgiving. Because they take longer to to grow they develop more fat and a more robust flavor. We only had 80 turkeys to start and they are going fast so if you are interested in one for Thanksgiving send us an <a href="mailto:info@oakvillegrocery.com" target="_blank">email</a>! Oh and if you're interested in these cool pumpkins they are available at the Oakville Grocery! </div>

This past weekend was the opening of The Oakville Grocery Farmstand. It was a wonderful first weekend. We are now serving ice cold beer on tap, and are also offering Fresh Homemade Lemonade in three different flavors. Meyer Lemon, Strawberry and Tangerine. The Cherries and Strawberries are sweeter than ever this year. The Farmstand is opened Friday through Sunday from 10:00am-6:00pm. Come and see the new remodeled Oakville Grocery too. They have created several new delicious sandwiches and the store looks amazing. Pictured above is Danny, our newest member to The Farmstand, myself and of course Farmer Omar.Rudd Farmshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18351025872392773208noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388134096644281962.post-1978311268013950232012-05-24T06:30:00.001-07:002012-05-24T06:30:08.747-07:00Does it get any better than this<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Spring has sprung! All the baby chicks have arrived. Omar flew to a small farm in Kansas this past Friday to pick up 100 babies and make sure they flew first class (well, not really) back home to California. The next day 225 Rhode Island Red Chicks and 100 Poults also arrived through The Post Office. So, everyone at the farm is on baby chick watch for the next several weeks now. I have to thank Jason for taking pictures of all the activity when I can't make it up to the farm myself.Rudd Farmshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18351025872392773208noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388134096644281962.post-24323473424428758692012-05-15T09:51:00.003-07:002012-05-15T09:51:52.640-07:00Well Hello There<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Yesterday as Omar and Jason were on their way back up to the farm, they spotted a fawn on the side of the road, only a few hours old, still trying to stand up on her own. They pulled over and waited for the mama to return. With no sign of the mother returning, they scooped the baby up and brought her to the farm along with the 5 new baby pigs already in the back of the truck. The fed her milk and later on that day delivered her to a rescue sheltor. These two guys are my new heros!
