(ORDER YOUR BEEF & PORK BOX TODAY!)

Hi Everyone,

Well, we had another busy week at the farm!

 We even got leave the farm this week and went to Westchester for the day to drop off meat to a New York Yankees Legend... the great hall of fame closer, MARIANO RIVERA...

He is now enjoying our farm-raised meats!
(and he is a great friend of ours as well!)

 So many professional athletes love our meats.. just last month we had two players on the Buffalo Bills, AJ Klein and Matt Barkley...

 

Well, it is July 4th weekend- that means it is time to get the BBQ going and eat some meat!

We love this weekend here at the farm as it is actually a time to relax a little for us.

With so many customers traveling this week- and UPS being closed Monday and Tuesday we get to take some time off from packing boxes and spend some time just hanging around the farm and enjoying some BBQ and some relaxation time ( this all sounds good- but relaxation on the farm is almost impossible!)

Heading into this weekend- we have gotten A LOT of requests for a combination box- of both our pork and our beef.

So instead of taking special orders for it, we decided to launch:
THE BEEF AND PORK COMBO BOX!

This way you can get a combination of our amazing beef AND our delicious pork.

We have 4 pigs at our butcher now that are heading back next week- so we are excited to put that fresh pork into these boxes...

We spend most of our time here talking about beef- but our pork gets some really great reviews as well.

Pork is a cyclical and seasonal meat for us...

Meaning, it is not a meat that is often purchased in the spring, but once those smokers start and BBQ season begins (and the NFL football season starts) we have hard time keeping pork available!

What is better than a slow cooked, smoked pork butt or shoulder? Nothing!

Or, kicking your weekend off with some fresh off the farm bacon?

For us, we have really stepped up our pig operation.

Currently we have over 100 pigs on the farm- and we have 4- of our mama pigs that are set to give birth here in the next few weeks.

This will really help us keep our pork supply high- and keeping your freezers filled with some amazing off-the-farm pork (which is totally different than store bought) pork...

Over the years, pork has gotten a bad wrap and rightfully so....

All store bought pork is raised in large facilities that raise thousands of pigs- and they never get to see the outside...



Pigs are foragers- they love to dig and eat rocks, worms, grass, and dirt...

That is why we keep our pigs outside- they get to live a normal life and enjoy the land that gives so much back to them...



Those rocks, worms, grass, and dirt provide them incredible minerals that help them grow healthy and also help them to have a healthy gut and they make the meat much more tasty and delicious...

Farm-raised pork typically is very rich in color and is not that dead looking, pale, slimy meat you get at the store...

We have had several families stop by the farm just this past week and when we ask them "why" they decided to switch to farm-raised meats- we get the same answer...

"The quality of meat at the store has gone down tremendously"....

And it has... most meat at the store is old cows or commercially raised pigs...

That never yields great tasting product...

So, as you head into your holiday weekend and you have been wanting to try out meats- you can now try them in combination..

The BEEF & PORK COMBO BOX is available in a 10lb or 20lb variety....
We know you are going to love it!

Lastly, if you have been considering a meat share- we have 3 cows and 3 pigs headed to the butcher next week for custom cutting...

That means you get a 1/4, 1/2, or Whole Cow or Pig and you get to choose your cuts, the thickness, and get very specific about your share...

ORDER YOUR PORK MEAT SHARE.

Many of our customers love to do this because it is buying in bulk and there is nothing better than having farm-raised meats readily available at your home..

For all our shares we can also deliver them right to your door!

Ok, thats our quick update...

Next week we are going to talk about "HOW TO COOK GRASS-FED BEEF" and also talk about a new local partnership..... make sure you check in!

Well, have an awesome INDEPENDENCE DAY... 

Let's home this is not one of our last with the way things have been going....

Enjoy the weekend- family first, always.

Your Farmers,
