📣 Farm Update: A Short Pause in Market Production :

Store Closed

Bibb Forest Farm is taking a brief break from producing veggies for market and regular deliveries as we reassess our scale and costs. At this time, market expenses — especially labor relative to the cost of living — no longer align with what we’re able to sell our vegetables for, and we want to make sustainable decisions for the farm long term.

During this pause, we are still offering whole lambs, with the first available lambs ready in April. We also have one half cow available in early February, with additional half cows available mid–late summer.

If you’re interested in reserving any of these, please reach out directly to arrange details.
