Farm Products for Sale

Now that it's March we're starting seeds and establishing our first plants. It'll still be some time before we have a large amount of fresh produce but we have a few other items available right now: small quantities of various greens, eggs, pennyroyal sachets, and pint jars of flying dragon citrus marmalade. See below for more information about what's available each month. Contact us at ancientspringfarm@protonmail.com or 336-639-4314 to order products and set up a pick-up day and time. (Please, no drop-bys without prior scheduling.)

May: Spinach, sorrel, various cooking and chicken coop herbs, cut flowers, pasture-raised eggs, flying dragon citrus marmalade, and pennyroyal sachets

Flying dragon citrus (also called trifoliate orange and hardy orange) is the most cold-hardy of cultivated orange trees. It's not native to NC but it has become wild in many places, including the farm and our friends' farm. Its fresh smell and flavor are unique, hard to describe, and intoxicating (great for cocktails but not really for eating). The fruit makes a British-style marmalade whose flavor is richer, spicier, and more sour/bitter than sweet orange marmalade. Most people who've tried our marmalade can't get enough of it! In addition to toast, it pairs particularly well with cheese, pork, and venison. We've sold out of half pints but have some pints left for sale.

June: Various cooking and chicken coop herbs, other veggies as they ripen, cut flowers, pasture-raised eggs, flying dragon citrus marmalade, and pennyroyal sachets

Fainting Goats

As adorable as they are, we can't keep all of the fainting goats (myotonic goats) that are born here. We ideally want you to purchase them as pets, companions for other animals, and herd starters, although they're also excellent meat goats. We have one 2024 yearling available now. In July (after they're weaned) we'll have multiple 2025 babies (both girls and boys). Get in touch with us at ancientspringfarm@protonmail.com or 336-639-4314 for more information about purchasing goats!

2024 Baby

Male:

Fionn (son of Binn Dubh) was born on April 9, 2024. He's a friendly, confident, and healthy wethered (neutered) yearling who's looking for his new home! Goats love having friends so he needs to be with at least one other goat, or he could be purchased along with one or more of our 2025 kids to be a big brother. $175
