Customer Feedback- 

“I am so excited! We have been looking for an affordable resource for healthy
grass fed non-GMO meats, so this is a real blessing to us! Thank you so much!
“. Shelley L.

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!
