✨ Honest question… what’s stopping you from trying something new? ✨

Is it the fear of not liking it?
The worry that you’ll waste money?
Not knowing how to cook it?
Or maybe just sticking with what’s familiar?

Some of my favorite things—goat meat, sourdough baking, reformer Pilates, even running a little farm stand—started with simply saying, "Why not?"

You might discover your new favorite meal, hobby, or tradition by taking one small chance.

For those who have never tried goat meat, what’s the biggest thing holding you back? I’d genuinely love to know! 🐐 💚

Sometimes all it takes is one bite, one class, or one step outside your comfort zone.

🐶 Let's talk about stinky dogs...😅

Even the best dogs can start to smell a little "doggy" between baths—especially after playing outside, rolling in who-knows-what, or claiming your couch as their throne.

Our **Dry Shampoo for Dogs** helps:

✨ Freshen coats between baths
✨ Reduce odors naturally
✨ Keep dog beds smelling cleaner
✨ Help furniture and blankets stay fresher longer
✨ Great for dogs that dislike frequent baths

Made with just:
✔️ Baking Soda
✔️ Arrowroot Powder
✔️ Non-Toxic Fragrance Oil

Simply sprinkle, massage into the coat, and brush out. Easy peasy! 🐾

Available in several fun scents at Deer Run Farms! 🐶💕

🐐 Curious about goat meat but not sure where to start?

I always recommend starting with our ground goat. It's an easy swap in recipes you already know and love!

🌮 Traditional tacos
🍝 Spaghetti
🍔 Burgers
🌶️ Chili
🥘 Casseroles

Feeling a little more adventurous?

🔥 Try our goat chops or steaks and make a delicious homemade birria! The rich flavor pairs perfectly with the slow-cooked spices, and it's easier to make than you might think.

I've included one of my favorite easy-to-follow birria recipes below as a recipe card. 👇

You might be surprised—goat meat is lean, flavorful, and quickly becoming a favorite for many of our customers!

Well, this was a happy accident! 😋

I added a little of our Deer Run Farms Anti-Inflammatory Spice Mix to a pork roast that had been marinating in Italian dressing, and WOW... it took it to a whole new level!

The warm flavors of turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper paired surprisingly well with the savory Italian dressing. The roast turned out tender, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. 🐖🔥

Just a reminder that our Anti-Inflammatory Spice Mix isn't just for drinks—it's amazing in the kitchen too!

Add it to:
✨ Pork roasts
✨ Chicken
✨ Soups
✨ Roasted vegetables
✨ Rice dishes
✨ Marinades

Did you know our Anti-Inflammatory Spice Mix isn't just for making a warm, comforting drink?

🌿 Stir it into oatmeal
🍌 Add it to smoothies
🥞 Mix it into pancakes or waffles
🍠 Sprinkle it on sweet potatoes
🥕 Roast vegetables with it
🍛 Add it to soups, stews, or curries
🍪 Bake it into cookies, muffins, and breads

Tonight, I'm trying something new by adding a little to a pork roast that's been marinating in Italian dressing. The turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, and black pepper should add a subtle warmth and depth of flavor. I'll let you know how it turns out! 😋

Made with organic turmeric, organic Vietnamese cinnamon, organic ginger, and organic black pepper, it's an easy way to add flavor and beneficial spices to your everyday meals.

What's your favorite way to use these spices? 👇

❤️ Thank You from Deer Run Farms ❤️

We want to give a huge thank you to everyone who stopped by our farm stand this weekend—whether you made a purchase, said hello, or simply stopped to check things out. Every visit means the world to us, and we truly appreciate all the support and traffic you've given our little farm.

For the next couple of weekends, we will be offering **pre-orders only** while we work through a few scheduling challenges. My husband won't be available to help me set up the farm stand cabinet, so we'll be taking orders ahead of time instead.

🥚 Eggs may be limited or unavailable, as our hens are currently only laying a few eggs per day.

Available for pre-order:
🍞 Sourdough Bread
🐐 Goat Meat
🦟 All-Natural Bug Spray
🌿 Anti-Inflammatory Spice Mix
🧼 Goat Milk Laundry Soap
🐕 Dry Shampoo for Dogs

📅 Please message us with your order by **Thursday at 6 PM**.
