Tis The Season For Comfort Foods

This week we announced our new Comfort Foods bundle and added a collection of classic comfort foods
and delicious new seasonings to our online store.

We decided to create this new Winter Comfort Foods bundle that includes roasts, whole chicken, and ground beef for a few reasons that I'd like to share with you today.

First and foremost, as the temperatures drop a bit it sure is nice to look forward to enjoying a roast, meatloaf or bowl of your favorite savory stew, chili or soup.

It truly is the heart of Comfort Foods season.

Whether you choose to simmer your comfort favorites on the stovetop or slow cook them all day in a crockpot, it's tough to beat the aroma of slow-cooked seasoned meats, veggies and potatoes.

I can tell you that we decided to include one of our whole pasture-raised chicken so you can roast up a chicken to make homemade chicken & noodles, chicken & rice soup or just a tasty slow-cooked breast.

Beth has recently started oven-roasting our chicken with the Chipotle seasoning from The Bearded Butchers we now have in our online store. It is absolutely dynamite.

And, we know many of our customers make sure to use the whole chicken, including the bones, to very simply make up their own nourishing, healing Chicken Bone broth.

All you have to do is place the leftover carcass in a crockpot, dutch oven or soup pot with some carrots, celery, onion, a few cloves of garlic, a bay leaf and a few TBSP of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar and add water until the entire bird is submerged. Slow cook it for 12-15 hours low and slow.

Last but not least, we included eggs that can be paired with our ground beef to make a delicious meatloaf or to spice up a weekend breakfast and brunch with an egg casserole.

As you can see, this bundle is very versatile for many delicious meals over the coming weeks.

As a reminder, we have a special offer going through Monday night Jan. 4th where we're adding 2 *extra* lbs. of ground beef (a $15 value) to all orders for the new Winter Comfort Bundle.

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!
