*PLEASE READ THE FARM HAPPENINGS***

This is where we let you know;

*It's worth the quick read!

Hello Everyone!

Pictured Above: Summary of the happenings & one of our Tbone steaks with s blue mark on it. Read below to learn more!

So what's new?

Current Updates:

WEEKLY SPECIALS!

There is a blue mark on my beef/pork??

This is a good sign! This blue smudge is a food grade stamp. Each carcass we send to our butcher is inspected at the processing facility by a certified inspector. A blue stamp is given when the carcass passes its inspection.

Usually the carcass is only stamped once (maybe a couple), so it is very rare you will see it!

Fire up the grill!

It's getting warmer!

If you are on home delivery, please consider investing in a cooler.
The cooler should be big enough to fit your meat into. You should know roughly how much meat you receive/month by the size your ordered.

Egg Share SOLD OUT.
- Our pasture eggs are sold out for the summer season
- However, we will be offering eggs from homestead farms as extras to be purchased over the summer.

PRO-Tip:

If you do not have a meat thermometer, GET ONE.
- This is the best and most accurate way to get your desired outcome.
Our meat does not take long to cook. Often we will cook it 5 degrees under suggested temps.
- for beef, pork & chicken!
- At that point, just with your eyes if it's too pink, cook a little longer.

PLEASE Return Boxes & Red Freezer Bags!

We also take back mason jars & 12 hole Egg Cartons

We like to reuse as much as we can :)
leave them out your next delivery for the driver to get when they drop off your next order.
- If you are a pick up, you can leave the items at that location and we will grab them.
If your red bag has a water bottle in it, leave it in! It's an icepack to help keep the items frozen during delivery. We refreeze them and use them multiple times.

If you &/or your family are currently quarantined, Please keep your items for now.
