I’m guessing that you found us because you were looking for local, ethically raised, sustainable meat. You want to know your farmers and where your food is coming from. It is an honor for us to be that farm for you and your family.

We know that sourcing your food from independent farmers takes a commitment. Unlike a grocery store, we don’t have everything on your list. We so appreciate that you make the effort to get your proteins from us! We are adding a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) option to our farm. We are looking to partner with you and 99 others as we move into the summer season. We are limiting the membership in the CSA to ensure we can offer every CSA member the benefits.

As a CSA member you will be first to receive restock notices on items that sell out quickly, like ground beef and chicken breast.

We are offering 3 CSA levels and taking pre-orders on all poultry for the 2024 season. Our goal is to make this addition benefit you and us, without making big changes to how you order and get your meat and eggs.

How it works:

Purchase one of our CSA levels from our website with the option to pay card, cash, check, PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle. The amount will be credited to your account and then you order as you always have, the order amount is taken from the credit. You don’t pay again until your balance has been depleted.

Benefits of becoming a CSA member:

You are becoming a partner within our farm. You are making a meaningful and impactful investment in local and sustainable farming

You get an upfront discount

As a CSA farm member you will have access to order our limited products before we open ordering to all customers (beef and chicken cuts specifically)

We will locker (keep safely stored in our deep freezers) until you are ready for it. So don’t worry about how you’ll store 52 chickens, we’ve got you covered.

Please let me know if you have any questions about the CSA options available.

Super Egg

The other day I talked about liver being a super food and most likely the greatest super food. See that post here But let's face it, most of us don’t want to sit down to 3 meals a day with our purplish-capped friend. Dinner with superheroes can be daunting. I think most of us feel more comfortable sitting down to a meal with a more repeatable hero. One who’s comfortable in or out of their shell. One we are used to spending any time of the day with. Enter the dependable Super Egg. In many cases, we’ve seen the egg as an ordinary part of our everyday life. We forget all the amazing superpowers this unassuming little ovum brings to our table. 1. Rich Source of High-Quality Protein • Eggs provide all nine essential amino acids, making them a complete protein. This helps with muscle repair, growth, and overall body maintenance. 2. Packed with Essential Vitamins • Vitamin B12: Supports brain health and red blood cell production. • Vitamin D: Helps with calcium absorption, promoting bone health. • Vitamin A: Important for vision, immune function, and skin health. • Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin): Supports energy metabolism. 3. Good Source of Minerals • Iron: Vital for oxygen transport in the blood. • Phosphorus: Supports bone and teeth health. • Selenium: Acts as an antioxidant and supports immune function. 4. Heart Health • Choline: Eggs are one of the best dietary sources of choline, a nutrient critical for brain function, nerve signaling, and cardiovascular health. • Healthy Fats: Eggs contain saturated fats, which are beneficial for heart health. Eggs were once vilified because of the saturated fat and dietary cholesterol but we now know these are not a health concern for most people in health amounts from whole food. 5. Supports Eye Health • Lutein and Zeaxanthin: Antioxidants in eggs that help protect the eyes from age-related macular degeneration and cataracts. 6. Promotes Weight Management • Eggs are low in calories and high in protein, which helps with satiety and reduces overall calorie intake, making them a good choice for weight management. Easy to set serving size at roughly 70 calories an egg 7. Brain Health • The combination of choline, healthy fats, and vitamins in eggs supports brain development and function. 8. Boosts Immune System • Nutrients like selenium and vitamin D in eggs enhance the immune system’s ability to fight infections. 9. Skin, Hair, and Nail Health • The protein, vitamins, and minerals in eggs contribute to healthy skin, strong nails, and shiny hair. 10. Affordable, Versatile, and Accessible • Eggs are cost-effective and can be prepared in various ways, making them accessible to most diets. They are easy to find. I’m now seeing hard-boiled eggs available in most gas stations. Talk about convenience when you need a helpful snack.Now it’s important to note that most of these nutrients are packed in the egg yoke, so to get these benefits you must eat the whole egg. No more yucky egg white omelettes 😝 So several nutritional overlaps with the liver. But I’ve never baked a cake with liver. I don’t take deviled liver to every potluck and receive rave reviews. Eggs are truly your friendly, socially welcome superfood. One that you can invite to 3 meals a day! I’m going to beat this egg thing ‘til it cracks, so tomorrow I’ll talk about the addition benefits of pasture raised eggs.Have a wonderful day!Aila
