We have a good supply of smoked ham quarters if you are looking for a special Easter centerpiece. We have a limited supply of larger ham halves and legs of lamb as well. We are excited to finally have our own house made sliced bacon for sale. We still will carry the bacon we’ve had

We have been busy boiling sap in our renovated sugarhouse the last couple weeks, and are excited for some more good sugaring weather this month. Our sugaring operation is very small scale, so our plan this year is to use the syrup we produce in our bacon and breakfast sausage, and continue to rely on

We were back in the kitchen Monday and Tuesday cutting pork and creating two exciting new products: Pork Carnitas – heat and serve for an easy taco option, we even have local Mi Tierra corn tortillas available to go with Irish Bangers – breadcrumbs in this traditional Irish sausage give them a different texture Currently

We raised 400 meat birds this past summer, rotating them through our pastures. We still have a good supply of whole and half chickens available in our farm store. We cut some of them into parts (breasts, thighs & drumsticks, wings, tenders) which we have nearly run out of. Lesson learned for next year, we’ll

We now have frozen meatloaf available in our store, a 50/50 blend of our pork and Grass Cattle Co beef. These can be baked frozen for an easy meal (it just takes a little longer). Bacon is finally back in stock. Apparently the bacon slicer at our processor was down for repairs, which held us
