Hanson Family Meats Raising high quality cattle and providing top end meat products has been a long time family tradition

We are so proud of Paisley!

This was her first time around the sheep and her natural herding instincts kicked in immediately! (She had the ewe back in the pen in less than a minute.)

She’s always been more hesitant around the cattle because of their size, but the sheep seem to be a good fit for her!

One of the best things I did again this year was meal prep for harvest season! Our deep freezer in the basement is stocked full of homemade soups, stews, bbq sandwiches, spaghetti, meatloaf, meatballs, carrots, green beans, potatoes, mashed potatoes, breakfast sandwiches, muffins, breads, cinnamon rolls, and so much more!

The best part is that each day, I can choose from a variety of homemade meals and sides. I don’t have to worry about finding time to cook or figuring out what sounds good after a long day. I can simply pull something out of the freezer, let it thaw in the fridge or on the counter, heat it up, and we’re good to go!

It’s a lot of work upfront, but having homemade food ready to go during one of the busiest times of the year is SO worth it! ❤️

We absolutely love having sheep at both the Gilman and Danforth farms! As we were talking about the sheep we used to have at the Danforth farm, we decided to look back at some photos of one of our bottle lambs from the spring of 2004! ❤️

After a 20+ year break, we are officially back in the sheep business! 🐑

This has been in the works for quite some time and tonight we had a semi deliver 140 sheep to our farm! We now have an assortment of ewes, lambs, and rams.

Our sheep will be at both the Gilman and Danforth farms, with plans to utilize them on our pastures and eventually offer retail lamb cuts, as well as larger quantities such as half and whole lambs.

The entire flock is Polypay and we purchased all of them from a farm in Missouri.

We are so excited to be back in the sheep business and are looking forward to this new opportunity! 🤍

Growing up, my dad and I always talked about the pros and cons of “putting all your eggs in one basket.” Well, I learned my lesson today…

Joe gave me this egg basket for our anniversary and while I love using it, I think I’m going to need a bigger basket—which is a good problem to have!

As the egg fell out of the basket and broke, I couldn’t help but admire the beautiful yolk- farm fresh eggs really are the best!

We only have two pounds of ground beef left and the sale on hamburger patties ends this Sunday!

Hamburger patties are $7.00/lb right now (normally $8.00/lb)

We still have a great variety of steaks, roasts, short ribs, hot dogs, brats, and more available.

Take advantage of the nice weather and get stocked up on farm fresh beef now!

We had an early start and a very late night yesterday! Picked up 4 heifers and 10 bull calves from some of our favorite cattle people, the Rudow Family!

A 5-hour round trip hauling and unloading cattle, moving cattle and equipment, mixing feed, getting beef orders ready and pickups taken care of, plus paperwork—all in the middle of harvest season!

At least Paisley got some rest yesterday!

Now it’s back to work on the farm and in the fields today!

Our brand-new egg cartons and personalized logo stickers have officially arrived! We are so excited to finally have them. (Both the cartons and stickers are made in the USA!)

If you’d like a dozen farm fresh eggs (or a few dozen), send us a message to reserve yours! 🤎🥚🐓🍳

INVENTORY RESTOCK! One of the most unique things about our operation is that we’re a truly family-owned, full-circle beef operation. We raise our cattle, know exactly where they come from, and take pride in providing quality beef!

If you’ve been waiting to stock up on farm-fresh beef, now is the time! We have a large variety of cuts currently available, but quantities are limited and some cuts won’t last long!

A few announcements about our farm-fresh eggs!

• All eggs are washed and placed in new cartons. If you prefer your eggs unwashed, just let me know!

• Cash is preferred, but if you’d like to pay by check, please make it out to Maddie Buckley.

• We have farm-fresh eggs and beef available at all times, so reach out anytime you need eggs, beef, or both!

• If you know ahead of time when you’ll need eggs and how many you’d like, just let me know and I can set them aside for you.

• If you’d like to save your empty egg cartons and return them to me, that would be greatly appreciated! I can simply put your eggs back into your original carton when you pick them up.

Thank you so much for supporting our farm! ♥️
