Most of our products are flash froze at our processor to preserve freshness and quality. We offer fresh chicken a few times a year, and our thanksgiving turkeys are always sold fresh!
We do not grow organic products at the moment. The most important thing to us is that our animals are getting a wholesome nutritious meal. Some of the certifications you must get to be “organic” are just not something we agree with or believe in. Any grain products we use in our animals feed, we do try to source as locally as possible and only feed quality to our animals to help end in a quality product.
Any meat you will buy in our store is born and raised right on our farm. The eggs also come straight from our pastured chickens. We currently do not grow much of the produce we are selling over the summertime but we do source the produce from only local farmers. If any products are not local we always will tell you because we have nothing to hide!
Currently all of our meat products are packaged in a USDA certified facility. North Mountain Butcher shop in Newville PA does our beef, lamb and goat, our pastured chickens go through Garden Path Farms in Newburg PA, and any of our custom bulk beef or pork goes through Country Boy Butchering in Shippensburg PA.
Most of our animals are eating feed that we make right at our farm. The grains are sourced locally from grain farmers in our area and any hay our ruminating animals eat is made by us. The animals will pay you in quality products if they are fed a quality diet. We believe that the love, treats and snuggles our animals get makes a difference too!
The cattle and pigs eat a grain mix mainly consisting of corn, soybean and a mineral pack that is made for their age/species and needs. The chickens and Turkey get a high protein local all natural feed Mill mix because we currently don’t have the facilities to make our chicken feed but hope to one day! We never have anything to hide so don’t hesitate to ask any questions about our animals diets.
We are proud to be PA Preferred meaning all of our products are grown right in PA and nothing is ever shipped in. We are also beef and pork quality assurance certified, and all of our meat individual cuts sold are USDA inspected.
Our animals are grain fed because we prefer to strive for high marbling and flavor in all of our meat! You can find what our animal eat in another tab. Animals have an enzyme in their body that breaks down all grain products so if you are grain free or soy free you can still eat meat from an animal that ate grains! We’re happy to give you a free sample if your ever hesitant.
