The Walnut Hill Farm

Locally, naturally. Pasture raised cage free eggs, poultry, pork, beef and lamb. Taste the difference!

@FarmAid We are proud to be hosting a retiring soldier as a farm intern here as I type this! It seems that those who have served, tend to prefer continuation of that service. MORE THIS! #farmerveterans #stillserving

@FarmAid @RollingStone Happy birthday, Willie!

"Walnut Hill Farm is an evolving organism, and [Pennsylvania farmer Michael Kovack] has no shortage of projects and plans for it. In his typical style, he jokes, 'In another thirty to forty years, we’ll have this place right where we want it.'"

HUGE NEWS: The government funding package @POTUS Biden signed into law today includes $2,500,000 I secured to make a White House conference on Food, Nutrition, Health & Hunger a reality!

This is a transformational moment in our movement to #EndHungerNow.

@FarmAid Black beans and (100% grassfed) Angus is a pairing we can get behind!

@FarmAid 🥲understandable, but regrettable…

"Fortunately, there are clear steps we can take to support a food supply chain that is competitive & resilient.”

Such as:
-strengthen protections from corporate abuse
-improve transparency in price reporting
-invest in local food systems
-⬆��� scrutiny of mergers + acquisitions

“The four largest companies control 85% of beef packing, 70% of pork processing, and 54% of broiler chicken processing. These corporate entities are too big, and when they fail or take advantage of their power, we all suffer.”

-NFU President Rob Larew

Over the last decade, low prices pushed 44% of Wisconsin dairy farms out of business - yet the number of cows in the state has grown, as the largest farms get even larger:

Just 3% of Wisconsin farms now produce ~40% of the state’s milk.

@NFUDC Not near as miraculous as what grazing well managed ruminants can do for #soilhealth. But the research is not surprising, given our innate desire for reductionist science to produce ‘magic bullets’ so that we can stay extractive, pay little, yet still feel like we’re doing good.

@NFUDC Ideally, not one more.

Our food system literally wouldn't exist without the millions of immigrants who built it, as farmers, farm workers, truck drivers, processors, grocery store clerks, chefs, and waiters. #ImmigrantHeritageMonth

Happy Pride Month!

@NFUDC I think that calf is facetiming from the front seat of a Chevy pickup. (I recognize those map lights!) Hope he pulled over for the call!
