You are what you eat!

Most of us are deficient in nutrients our bodies need every day — and many of the hardest ones to get are richest in meat, eggs, and dairy from animals raised on pasture.

Tryptophan for mood and serotonin. DHA for brain health. Choline for pregnancy — absent from most prenatal vitamins. Vitamin K2 for bones. B12 for everything from fertility to cognitive function. The list goes on.

The difference between pasture-raised and factory-farmed isn't just ethical. It's nutritional. Grass-fed beef has more omega-3s. Pastured egg yolks have three to four times more vitamin D. And pasture is naturally high in tryptophan — while the grain fed to factory-farmed animals is deficient in it.

Late summer grazing is my favorite time of year!

Sure, my neighbors think I’m crazy for planting grasses on “good corn & soybean ground”, but here I am running fence line through 7 foot tall grass for a new section for the cows to graze. I’m grateful that we can produce this much cow food on this high quality soil. With everything that’s going on with beef imports I thought you’d like to know that we’re still producing excellent beef right here in the good ole USA.

Remember that time when we had national recalls on beef and hundreds of concerned people flood to our website seeking clean meats, only to discover that it’s down?!

I swear you can’t make this stuff up….
We’re working on it!

WE’RE TAKING BREAKAWAY FARMS ON THE ROAD! 🥩🔥

This Labor Day weekend, we’re packing up the smoker AND the butcher shop and heading north to Harvey’s Lake, PA!

You may have heard us talking about the brisket, pulled pork and ribs we’ll be serving through Tommy’s BBQ — but BBQ is only half of what we’re bringing.

The Breakaway Farms Mobile Meat Market is coming with us.

We’re loading the trailer with some of your Breakaway favorites:

🥩 Filet Mignon
🥩 Delmonico / Ribeye Steaks
🥩 NY Strip Steaks
🍔 Ultimate Burger Patties — chuck, brisket & short rib
🥓 Hardwood-Smoked Bacon
🌭 Brats
🌭 Summer Italian Sausage
🌭 Smoked Kielbasa
🐖 Chimichurri Marinated Pork Chops
🐓 Boneless Chicken Breasts & Thighs
🍳 Farm Eggs

Basically, we’re bringing a little piece of Breakaway Farms to the lake.

Grab a pound of smoked brisket for dinner. Throw a couple Delmonicos on the grill later that night. Stock the lake-house fridge with burgers, bacon and sausage for the weekend. Or fill a cooler and take some Breakaway home with you.

📍 Harvey’s Lake — beside Sips & Dips
🗓️ Saturday & Sunday
⏰ 10 AM–2 PM or sellout

PREORDERS: If you know what you want, please get your order in by Tuesday evening so we can make sure it’s on the truck.

We’ll accept late orders through Wednesday evening, but Wednesday is the absolute cutoff. After that, the meat is ordered, quantities are set, smokers are getting fired up and we’re getting ready to roll.

We even quickly build a kitschy preorder website:

We’ll bring extra BBQ and fresh meat for walk-up customers, but quantities will be limited.

Know somebody with a place at Harvey’s Lake? Tag them or send this their way.

We’re excited to take Breakaway on the road and see what happens.

Save yours before it’s gone.

Some mornings our ride into Lancaster Central Market are more exciting than others!

Hats off to our new driver, Cam, who handled things splendidly.
