“Why is farm-fresh pork more expensive?”
Because this is the part most people never see.
Animals still need feeding, whether machinery is working or not.
Equipment breaks.
Repairs can’t wait.
Feed, fuel, fencing, daily care, processing costs, and countless hours all add up long before a single cut of pork reaches your table.
Today, it was a broken down tractor.
Tomorrow, it’ll be something else.
Farming isn’t just about the good days you see on social media. It’s about finding a way to keep going when things break, bills keep coming, and the livestock still rely on you every single day.
When you choose to buy from a local farm, you’re supporting families who work through these challenges to produce quality food they can be proud of.
Thank you to everyone who supports local agriculture. It truly means the world to farming families like ours.
