Good Morning and hello from your farmer,

A few weeks ago I mentioned we were preparing more Smoked Hams from our latest harvest of Pastured Pigs.

Well, we completed the cure & smoke process and have them packaged and added to our website.

Everyone has their favorite cut of chicken. For some it is the wings (always sell out first), others it is the breast (also sells out fast). At the end of the line is the leg quarter.

However, many people (including Beth & me) prefer the leg quarters. If that includes you then you'll be glad to know about our new Leg Quarter Bundle.

And the best part is the savings! Our bundle includes 7-packs that weigh approximately 15 pounds. The regular price per pack has been reduced from $6.50/lb to $6.00/lb. With the bundle we are including an additional 10% off making the bundle price $5.40/lb.

We know inflation is affecting our customers and are happy we could offer this savings. If you want to get in on this Leg Quarter Bundle savings simply CLICK HERE. It's that easy.

Every so often a customer will ask about drugs and or chemicals used in our farm operations.

Recently we were notified by our USDA inspectors that during our upcoming harvest that they would collect several pounds of meat & tissue from six randomly selected chickens. The meat & tissue would be tested under the U.S. National Residue Program (NRP) for Meat, Poultry, and Egg Products.

Background: An essential aspect of food safety in meat, poultry, and egg products is the control of residues that may result from the use of animal drugs and pesticides, or from incidents involving environmental contaminants.

Tuesday, February 1st I received the results back from the lab. Of the 17 test performed there was no residue detected in any of the samples.

Trust and Transparency are key principles we operate our farm on. It's one thing to be able to say to customers that we do not use drugs & chemicals - being able to provide evidence from a third party does a lot to add credibility.

Are you a "regular" customer of our farm?

Eggs & More

This week the American Pastured Poultry Producers Association (APPPA) shared the USDA weekly disease update for Feb 4-10, 2025, a 4-day activity of exterminated chickens that is unnerving. During this timeframe 4.1 million chickens were exterminated. Most were egg layers and Ohio was the hardest hit. Here is the link that APPPA shared that tracks the outbreaks from the beginning - February 8th, 2022.

Compelling Purpose

Compelling Purpose – "What gets you out of bed in the morning?" The answer is your purpose, and if you don't have a compelling reason or purpose, you're likely to burn out and or fail. A brief testimony- folks who knew me in high school or even while on active duty Air Force in Plattsburg, NY would not have thought I would have ever amounted to much in life. Additionally, I was one of those who had to really study to make decent grades - even in college. (I was always jealous of folks like the dietian student in Statistics class who never studied, but made straight "A's"). Thus, I found myself in the help labs often. What I did have was persistence and perserverence! Spend the time, do the work to understand and succeed.

Pricing | Farm Matters

Farm Matters – First ACV - I left out a very important point regarding Apple Cider Vinegar. ACV is loaded with beneficial enzymes that helps the cattle better digest their forage and also provides needed energy. The same can be said for raw cows milk. Remember the chart I shared a few email ago that showed all the beneficial enzymes in cows milk vs.
