We’re dividing and conquering again this morning. 😂

Emma and Ryan are set up and ready at the Hardin County Farmers Market in E-Town, Chase is ready to go at the Franklin County Farmers Market in Frankfort…

And I’m currently somewhere between home and the Berea Farmers Market. 😂

We’ve got pasture-raised chicken and pork, grass-fed/finished beef and lamb with us this morning.

Come see us! ❤️

I’ll provide photographic evidence that I eventually made it to Berea once I actually get there. 😂

Turkey update: Olivia can no longer pick them up. 😂

She would like the record to show that she is still trying.

These guys have officially reached the point where every time I look at them I swear they got bigger overnight.

We’ve still got a while to go before Thanksgiving, so I’m starting to think Olivia may need a wheelbarrow if she plans to keep helping with turkey chores. 😂

Hard to believe these are the same little poults we started with earlier this summer.

Thanksgiving is going to be here before I know it. 🦃

Apparently moving the schooner also includes complimentary transportation for anyone who doesn’t feel like walking. 😂🐥

Market weekend is almost here! 🙌

We’ll be at all three markets tomorrow with the coolers packed and ready to go:

📍 Franklin County Farmers Market
📍 Hardin County Farmers Market
📍 Berea Farmers Market

The beef freezer got a much-needed restock this week, chicken is stocked and we’ll have ground pork and lamb along for the ride too.

If you already know what you need, order ahead and I’ll have it packed and waiting for you. No showing up and discovering someone beat you to the ribeyes. 😂

Order ahead → oakandbarrelmeats.com

Otherwise, come see us tomorrow! ❤️

The beef freezer is looking considerably less sad now. 😂

I got our latest beef back from the processor and everything is counted, stocked and back on the website.

And yes…the steaks are back too. 👀🥩

If you’ve been waiting for a beef restock, now’s a pretty good time to take a look.

The chickens will only be in this spot for a little while.

And that’s kind of the point.

When I say our chickens are pasture-raised, it doesn’t mean I put them in one grassy area in the spring and leave them there all summer.

Their shelters get moved regularly across the pasture.

Moving them gives the chickens access to new grass, bugs and ground to explore, but there’s another reason for it too.

Chickens are very good at turning a perfectly nice patch of grass into something considerably less nice if you leave them there long enough. 😂

Moving them spreads out the manure and gives the ground behind them time to rest and recover instead of letting waste build up in one place.

And eventually, that fertility becomes part of the pasture that feeds other animals on the farm.

That’s one of my favorite parts of raising different species here.

The chickens aren’t separate from the pasture.

They’re part of what happens to it.

Although if you asked the chickens, I’m fairly certain they’d tell you their primary contribution is bug control. 😂

This is what “inventory” looks like when your inventory started as a whole animal. 😂

Ground beef? In stock.

Ribeyes? Yep.

Sirloin? Sold out.

Stew meat? Sold out.

T-bones? Got those.

It can look a little random, but there’s a reason.

When we process a beef, that animal gives us a limited number of each cut. I can’t call the processor and order another case of sirloins when we sell out.

There’s quite a bit of ground beef on an animal. There are only so many ribeyes, filets, briskets, T-bones and other individual cuts.

And customers don’t conveniently buy every part of the animal at exactly the same rate. 😂

So sometimes I can have plenty of one thing and be completely out of another, even though it all came from the same group of cattle.

That’s one of the differences between shopping from a small farm and shopping from a grocery store. What you see in my freezer reflects the whole animal, not an endless supply of individual cuts coming from a warehouse.

And yes, this screenshot is actually from my website right now. 😂

We’re hot, we’re sweaty…but it’s DONE. 😂

The last batch of broilers for the 2026 season officially went out on pasture today!

These guys will spend the next few weeks out here before our chicken season officially comes to an end.

And now I’m just crossing my fingers that I did my math right and raised enough boneless breasts to get you all through the winter. 😂🤞

The Oak & Barrel sales department is fully staffed in E-Town this morning. 😂

Reviews of the working conditions appear to be mixed.

We’re at the Hardin County Farmers' Market this morning if you need anything for the freezer!

Come say hi. I promise at least one of us is happy to be here. 😂
