Good morning!

Pigs

New piglets on the farm! They are so cute. I've got my fingers crossed that they can survive the first couple of weeks.

​I've had some real disappointments with two other sets of piglets this spring but so far these are doing well.

Also, I'm going to be picking up some pigs that are ready for processing this Friday. I'm purchasing them from another farmer who is following the same protocols we are: Pasture raised and only fed Non-GMO feed.

As soon as I get the meat back from the processor we'll be letting you know so you can stock your freezer with delicious, pasture-raised pork!

I also have a half or two that aren't spoken for on some pigs that were born and raised on our farm. If you'd like to reserve one of those, do so here. They're scheduled for processing on June 14.

Lamb

Our lamb crop is looking really good. They are getting nice and big. By December we should have some really nice size lambs for sale.

Actually, I sold several yesterday to a customer who came out to the farm and processed them himself right on site.

If you'd like to reserve yours, do so today. I'd hate for you to miss out on our 100% grass-fed & finished lamb.

Pastured Eggs

We have eggs again! Yay! After swapping out our laying hens for some fresh pullets, they are laying now and we have a good supply of fresh, brown eggs.

Beef

If you think you may be interested in a half of beef, please let me know ASAP so that I can get them scheduled at the processor.

Processing is our biggest hurdle and if we don't get them scheduled in plenty of time we can't get them done.

Our first processing date of April 26 is booked already but we'll be processing more throughout the summer.

If a half is too much beef for you, we'll also have some quarter beef bundles available later on this year.

I think that's all for this week. Enjoy the beautiful spring weather,
Craig
