We have one Organic fed, pasture raised pig available for sale. Our pigs are on pasture and outdoor 100% of the time and fed a certified organic feed with no soy. They did get the occasional kitchen scraps and leftovers from a local food shelf that were not organic. They also received a few doses of diatomaceous earth, but that's it-no medications or other unsavories. They are slaughtered on the farm, which means no stressful transportation.
The pig that is available is a small female, so this is a great option for someone that doesn't have a lot of freezer space or isn't able to make a huge investment.
Price is $3/lb hanging weight (we are estimating a half to hang around 45lbs), flat $25 slaughter fee per half and $.55 per lb butcher fee. The butcher fee includes cutting, grinding and packaging. There is an additional fee for smoking/curing and sausage/brat making. We have the option of nitrate free processing so if you're interested I can give pricing on all of that.
Thus little piggy will go quickly so don't delay!

Turkey sale! We are butchering our turkeys this weekend and still have a few available for sale!

We have sold several, but still have 4 unspoken for. We are selling them at $4 a pound. They are VERY much free-range -- wandering all over the farm on a daily basis -- and have been fed organic feed exclusively. They are probably going to range between 15 and 18 pounds for the hens (1 available) and 20-25 pounds for the toms (3 available). We'll be selling them on a first come, first served basis. We have limited freezer space so we'll need to be able to move these asap.

Let us know if you're interested!

By popular demand, here's a video of the chickens eating the fodder wheat. Enjoy!

Throughout the winter we've been supplementing the chickens grain-based diet with wheat fodder. Check it out!

Ever wonder why two seemingly sane young people started raising 150 chickens a year to sell to friends, family and other clients?

Would you still eat it if you knew the facts? Check out this spoof video, and then tell President Obama and Secretary Vilsack to drop the "Filthy Chicken Rule."
