Are You Stocked for the Holidays

I love this time of year when the weather begins to turn and leaves decorate the landscape all around the farm. We also enjoy watching the animals like squirrels preparing for winter by gathering acorns and other nuts to carry them through the cold winter days ahead.

For my family, there's a deep sense of satisfaction having grown an abundance of food during the year and knowing that the fruit of our land and labor will be shared with each of you.

As the holiday season (and winter) approaches there's no better time to stock your freezer and pantry with a supply of our farm fresh beef &
pork from this year's harvest. If you are like me it's a wonderful feeling when your home is stocked with an abundant supply of food to keep your
family healthy and nourished all winter long.

Here are some hand picked items from inventory that you may want to consider stocking up on:

Winter-time Favorites

Link Sausage

Pattie Sausage

Ham Hocks

Ham Shank

Freezer Stockers (best deals)

Half-Beef Custom Processed

Quarter Beef

25# Hamburger

15# Chuck Roast

15# Pork Chop

Customer Feedback- 

Love this stuff! Great meat, great customer service. I plan to buy from here for a long time to come! DeAnne R.

Quote Worth Re-Quoting –  "A farm includes the passion of the farmer's heart, the interest of the farm's customers, the biological activity in the soil, the pleasantness of the air about the farm--it's everything touching, emanating from, and supplying that piece of landscape. A farm is virtually a living organism. The tragedy of our time is that cultural philosophies and market realities are squeezing life's vitality out of most farms. And that is why the average farmer is now 60 years old. Serfdom just doesn't attract the best and brightest."
--Joel Salatin

As always, thank you for supporting our regenerative, local farm.

Cows & Pigs

Brand New Services– About six weeks ago Dixie Electric Power installed a brand new electric line with poles down my road. They replaced the old copper lines with aluminum and the poles are much better quality and taller. I asked the district manager when was the old copper line installed and he said since electric service was available for us… so, maybe since the mid 1940’s? Then, this week our complete road was blacktopped!!! If you have visited our farm you know it was long overdue. For years it has been patched to the point where the patches had patches. Hahaha

Clean and Cold | Adorable Calves

New Calves On Our Farm– Sometime in April we call our vet and schedule a breeding soundness exam for our bulls. This is before we add our bulls to our cow herd May 1st each year. Our oldest bull, affectionately named “Ole Man” by the guys here, was born on our farm the Spring of 2016.

New Pullets | Calves | Job Opening

Pullets arrived March 1st– every 6 months we receive a fresh batch of pullets. This year we were not sure if our late February to early March batch would be available…even though we ordered them last September. However, mostly since we have done business with the same farmer since the Spring of 2017, he prioritized our order and delivered them March 1st. While the price was higher, I was braced for a much higher price. Our pullets are typically 17 weeks old when delivered. They will start laying at about 24 weeks. That means we should start seeing medium eggs by our May delivery dates. YEAH!
