Pick up your Meat Share: Archway Farm: starting Thursday December 29th, open daily 9a - 7p
Dear Shareholders:
We packed up the meat shares and have them ready to pick up now, a little earlier than what has been our normal schedule. With the dedicated chest freezer we have space to hold them if you can’t make it this weekend.
We are breathing a collective sigh of relief now that we are through the holiday season. Our pigs are all settled into winter housing, which makes daily chores a lot shorter. I’m looking forward to some down time in January.
We hope you enjoy,
Mark (for Wyatt, Maggie, Dima, Leo, & Alona)

Recipe of the Month
Pork Tenderloin with Seasoned Rub
Pork tenderloin is easy to cook in a variety of ways. Just be careful not to overcook, it is a tender lean cut.
from Food Network
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt
- 1 1/4 pounds pork tenderloin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
Steps to Make It
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- In separate bowl mix dry ingredients such as garlic powder, oregano, cumin, coriander, thyme and salt. Stir mixture with a fork until all the ingredients are well combined and they form a seasoning. This will be used as a rub to ensure the pork is well seasoned throughout. Sprinkle the rub over the tenderloin with a dry hand, then rub the pork with the seasoning over both sides of the meat, pressing gently so the seasoning adheres well to the tenderloin.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and heat. Add the minced garlic and saute, stirring, for 1 minute. Put tenderloin in the pan and cook for about 10 minutes, searing each side using tongs to turn the meat. Transfer meat to a roasting pan and bake for 20 minutes. Slice and serve.
