Bramble Hollow Farm

Bramble Hollow Farm Bramble Hollow Farm is a small family-owned & operated farm located in Montvale, Virginia providing pastured poultry, pork and eggs for your table.

Our pastured meat products include:
pastured Cornish Cross, Freedom Ranger and heritage breed chickens
pastured pork from Tamworth hogs (in cuts like pork chops, spareribs, pork loins, tenderloin, roasts, bratwurst and all kinds of sausages), and
pastured heritage breed turkeys

Our farm started with a desire to have a backyard flock of egg layers and a few meat birds- we bought 25 chickens in 20

05. In 2011, the farm produced over 1200 chickens, 75 turkeys and several litters of piglets. Heritage breeds have taken a prominent place on the farm in the past few years and we are proud to raise several heritage breeds of chickens, turkeys and to breed only heritage hogs. In addition to meat and eggs, the farm also produces wild wine raspberries in July and seasonal produce all summer long. Fresh handmade artisan breads and meat dry rubs are also featured at Chicken Days and at local farmer's markets. To be added to our mailing list and receive farmer's market updates, information on specials and our annual farm letter, please e-mail [email protected].

This morning we caught up the last chicks to be moved out of the brooder and put them on pasture. Such a good feeling to be done with the brooder for the year!
Special thanks to for loaning us an eager farmhand. These two kids caught all 140 3-week old Freedom Rangers by themselves and tended to a few that needed special attention.

I made ratatouille twice this week. I made it the easy way, chopping and sautéing as I went.

Then I made a pretty layered one for my daughter who expected ratatouille to look like the dish in the movie. 😀

Hey y'all! My talented friend Lexi does it all! She grows the dye plants, then harvests and forages them to make her own natural dyes. Want to know more? Join her later this month for Natural Dyes: From the Wild to Wearable

Saturday, August 27th from 10 am to 4 pm, Lexi will be teaching a workshop walking participants through the dye process of 3 or 4 native dyes! From plant identification to processing, then preparing your fabric/yarn, to dyeing. Participants will take home 2 dyed items that may include wool yarn, a cotton towel or bandana, or a silk scarf. Dye availability will depend on Mother Nature, but may include goldenrod, river birch, walnut, pokeberry, Maximillian sunflower, or bur marigold. Bring a bag lunch and wear or bring clothes, shoes, bug repellant, and sun block appropriate for collecting dye material in the wetland and other areas of the farm.
$65 for EGC members, $75 non-members. Contact Lexi at [email protected] or (540)947 0147 to sign up before 8/22!
