Grass-fed beef is dry aged for 2 weeks, cut and vacuum packed in plastic that protects meat for years in your freezer. We’re taking orders now for beef that will be ready for harvest in Sept/Oct 2009. “Cow pooling” is a great way to share beef among friends and family and still get volume discounts. http://wordie.org/words/cow%20pooling

Turkey – Yeah, we’re going to try it again. We’ll raise broad breasted white turkeys on pasture starting around the Fourth of July for harvest on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Pick up must be made on the farm on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, as we have limited refrigeration space. Reserve your Thanksgiving turkey now. Turkeys will dress out to 13 to 25 pounds each and will cost between $40 and $75 each.

May the farm be with you – a parody on the star wars movie called “grocery store wars” on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVrIyEu6h_E
