Red Acre Farm

03/23/2026

We had such an amazing turn out both days. So fortunate to have the outflow of community members supporting small farmers that we do here in Central Florida. We can’t thank Jillian Rebecca Curtin for the hard work her and her team do to make this event such a success. Florida Farm Finder and FL Farm Direct is Kind of A Big Dill, your following is amazing and your connections to bringing customers to farmers like us, wow. Keep up the great work.

We will be back next year to Meet Florida Meat and can’t wait. This is the only off farm event we do in the community and it is such a great time. We meet so many wonderful people and hear such great things from returning customers.

Now to rest and start to stock the freezer again.

🍗 We sold out of chicken!!! We even restocked for today with some out of our personal stash and sold it all.

🥓 We have an exclusive 1/10 share just for this event. We only have a couple left. Visit our website to order what we have left. If anyone wants to sample our pork and not purchase a whole or a half, visit our website and order! We only do this portion size for this event only! Once this is gone, it’s gone. This is the best way to sample our pork products and know what it will be like before committing to a larger purchase on a whole or a half of a pig. We have already started taking pork share orders on wholes and halves for the fall. The spring season is completely sold out! Don’t delay, order your whole and half share now.

🦃 We still have plenty of turkey left. By far our turkey breasts and our ground turkey are our most popular, followed by our legs and wings. Visit our website to order and pickup on the farm.

Thank you all once again!

A stock pot bc I didn’t have anything else big enough to hold them.

I have to separate and glean out all the “Keep This Coupons” before I draw, they will stay locked down for one more day, I’m sorry for the wait.

But I CAN tell you that we DOUBLED last years attendance and we had over 800 online preordered admissions sold.

These tickets are much more than a lucky freezer winner.

🧑‍🌾 They represent new equipment, projects, and stock for our farmers. They represent another season of hay or forage seed, or a new land lease for our meat producers. They represent new supplies, fabric, and ingredients for our makers and bakers, maybe an oven upgrade or a new branding and packaging investment.

🛑 What they don’t represent is a third vacation home for a CEO, or a political donation, or a private jet for a vacation to a questionable island somewhere. 👀

Thank you for supporting our farm-direct producers. Only 7-8% of America’s farmers sell a direct to the public commodity, and I am deeply grateful that you made the choice to invest in your neighbors this weekend.

In our fifth year, we’re not going anywhere. Our event location may change (words still out on that, when I know, y’all will know) but there will be a Meet Florida Meat next year, and the year after that, and hopefully the year after that!

Wow!!!! What an amazing first day. Record sales for sure. We sold out of our fresh chickens. Over 30 whole chickens sold. 😮

🐓 We are almost sold out of chicken bundles/cuts. I think we only have 5 sample bundles left for tomorrow unless we can find a few more in the freezer.

🦃 We still have plenty of turkey left and will have a bunch for tomorrow. The ground turkey is the absolute best!

🐷 We have a very limited number of pork shares left and remember those are a Meet Florida Meat exclusive that we do each year just for this event.

Huge shout out to our friends from Top Notch Butchery LLC for letting us use their freezer trailer.

Jillian Rebecca Curtin thank you for the hard work you do to put on this event and for all the behind the scenes work you do to make this happen.

*****Edit****** SOLD OUT!!!!! We will have anorher beef share availability next spring.

We are excited to introduce our first beef raised on our farm. We have half a cow available. If interested give me a call and we can take a deposit and your cut sheet. Pickup will be next week on Wednesday late afternoon 3/11 on the farm. Deposit must be received by Tuesday to select your cuts. Price is $7/lb hanging weight plus butchers fee. Hanging weight of half is 384lbs. We use mobile on site butchers so there is less stress on your animal. Call today 352-354-2838. Deposit of $500. If you want a smaller portion, such as an 1/8th or 1/4 share we are open to that as well. This hanging weight should yield well over 200lbs for your freezer. Average that out and it’s way cheaper than the grocery store!

Pasture raised, grass fed 3.5year angus cross steer and grain finished last 60 days.

We are back!!! It’s been a while since we posted last. A much needed break over Christmas and into the New Year. We have been busy on the farm preparing for the upcoming growing season. From farm chores to large projects we have done them. Still have a long list but does it ever really end?

This is our first batch of broilers out on pasture for 2026. If you haven’t heard, Chicken For A Year 2026 is underway. What is CFAY??? Well it’s your way of securing a year’s worth of chicken for you and your family! We have 6 scheduled harvests for fresh chicken in 2026 and you join our CFAY program and have a reserved number of fresh chicken available to you at each harvest. No more missing the boat and forgetting to pre-order at each harvest and finding out after that we sold out like we always do.

Space is limited and we have already sold quite a few CFAY memberships.

Details are on our website: RedAcreFarmOcala.com

Live Facebook farm tour happening soon. Follow along to be notified.

Give this post a like and comment letting us know you are ready for fresh chicken. 🍗
