Summer on the Farm
Summer on the farm is a busy time. Especially the summer of 2020! Our grass fed beef are grazing the fields and we are constantly hoping and praying for rain! So far, our fields have maintained and the beef are eating lush rich grass. We plan to cut hay this Friday and Saturday. Our annual goal is 120 round bales to keep these beef fed on our own hay all winter long. We are about at 70% of our goal!
The pigs are growing like crazy and we are now feeding them fruits and vegetables daily from a local market. Their favorites are tomatoes and peaches. But also love to eat peppers, lettuce, cucumbers and other soft fruits and veges. They arrived at the farm at about 18 – 20 lbs and now are pushing 150 – 175 lbs.

Burger – 2 boxes available
We have 2 boxes of all burger still available! We were able to get more burger than we anticipated and now have two additional boxes for sale. There are 40 packages of 1lb individually shrink wrapped ground beef per box. With Memorial Day upon us, its a great time to get out the grill and enjoy some juicy burgers.
This burger is from a local farm that we partnered with, to provide some fresh, high quality burger to our customers. It is not from grass fed only, beef.
Give us a call at 860-670-0495 or email us at jklmoser@gmail.com if you are interested in purchasing some of this burger.

We are trying to get additional butchering slots in at our local butcher and he too, is busier than ever. This pandemic has put its mark on all of us!

Burger Available
Hello to all of our beef customers! We hope and pray you and your loved ones are staying safe and healthy! Our family is doing well, trying to practice social distancing and remembering all the good things in life!
News on the farm … we just got 6 new calves. They have lots of energy and are fun to watch in the fields. We let all the cows out of the barn and into the pasture last weekend. They seemed happy to be in the fields and have a much larger place to call “home”! It’s always a joy to watch them enjoying the lush grass in the fields.
The other news is our cat, Muffin, recently gave birth to 5 adorable kittens. We still have 2 left for good homes, if you or anyone you know would like a cuddly kitten. Maggie, our farm dog, is doing well, just vying for attention due to the new kittens we are all lavishing attention on.
The grass fed beef that we have is sold out for 2020. Our next butchering is scheduled for February, 2021 and if you would like to be on that list, just send us an email at jklmoser@gmail.com or call Steve at 860-670-0495.
We have an alternative option for you, if you would be interested in ground beef only. We have butchered a locally sourced cow, however, it is NOT grass fed only. It is grain, corn and grass fed. We have had so many requests from our customers, and our grass fed beef is sold out, so we’ve partnered with a local farm and are selling 40lb boxes of all burger. If this something you are interested, let me know.

Fall at the Farm
We just finished our 3rd hay cutting for this summer. Check out our gallery for some new pictures! We got 64 round bales this cutting, which will we be added to the growing pile we have for winter feed for the steers. A local farmer will be taking the 4th cutting, as we have as many bales as we need to feed them through the winter.

Meet Merigold and Petunia
Merigold and Petunia are mother and grandmother sows to our piglets soon to arrive! Petunia is due to farrow April 18, and Merigold on May 7. We are anticipating piglets from Petunia this year. She is a great momma, who LOVES to eat! These mommas can have anywhere from 10 – 14 piglets per litter. Momma does not lick them off. They find their spot at the table on their own and after a day or two that is established, and they always go back to the same spot!
At about 2 weeks they get started on some dry feed, while continuing to nurse. They are weaned at about 4 weeks. Shortly after they start running around, they begin digging in the dirt and wrestling with each other – very entertaining to watch! Each piglet weighs about 3 – 5 pounds at birth and gains weight rapidly – weighing about 18 pounds when get them at 4 weeks old!
Let us know if you are interested in purchasing a half or whole pig. We expect to be butchering at the end of October this year. The cuts are pork chops, shoulder roast, picnic roast, loin, ham steaks, ham, bacon and for a small up-charge, sausage. Ham, bacon and sausage are smoked and made here in East Windsor at The Butchery.

Think Spring – piglets are coming soon!
We will be purchasing our piglets mid-April this year. April 1st is less than 4 weeks away! It’s always exciting to be thinking spring … and thinking piglets.
They are so cute when they first arrive. Running around their pen trying to learn about their new home at Sunset Valley Farms, here on the Ellington / Broad Brook line. We have been serving customers in Connecticut and Massachusetts for the past 6 years. We’ve had customers from New Haven, Wallingford, Vernon, Tolland, Somers, Plantsville, New London and Boston to name a few.
We take orders for our piglets. So we only purchase as many as we know will be selling in the fall. They take about 6 – 7 months to grow into about 200 pound pigs! WOW They sure get big and are probably not quite as cute as they were at 4 weeks old! Let us know if you are interested in any pork this year. We sell by the half and whole pig.
Our piglets will feed on grain, and we supplement with fruits and vegetables all season long. They love almost all fruits and vegetables and get excited when they see us coming with a bucket full! We know what they eat every day! Enjoy some fresh, local pork.

Butchering in April or May
We are coming to the end of winter here at the farm. Yea! We are excited to kick of the spring season with a butchering … to provide you with some great burger and steaks for grilling.
Contact us if you are interested in signing up for a quarter of beef from this next butchering. A quarter of beef is about 3 or 4 banana boxes of burger, steaks, roasts and some miscellaneous cuts like stew meat and kabobs. Of course, that includes a box of bones if you would like them. Check out our latest recipe for Bone Broth and enjoy the multitude of health benefits that you will have!
If a quarter is too much, we’ve recently been finding that a 1/3 (third) of a quarter is very popular. It averages between 30 – 50 pounds of meat. The price for a third is based on actual weight and is $6.95 per pound. Don’t hesitate to give us a call and let us know if you are interested. You can reach us at 860-670-0495.

Spreading …
Another fall chore before winter sets in, spreading manure.

Fall at the Farm
Fall has arrived at Sunset Valley Farms here in Ellington. With fall comes some chores! Last week we did our third hay cutting, which we are selling to a farmer friend of ours from Pleasant View Farms in Somers. They will be coming here this week to bale the hay in square bales. Because of our abundant rain and wonderful weather this spring and summer, we were able to make enough round bales for our grass fed beef for the entire winter. We are thankful for our abundant blessings! We wish each of you a happy, healthy fall!
