There's a run on the farm !


It pains us GREATLY that we are nearly out of inventory. For anyone in business, the prospect of customers lining up out the door and with virtually nothing on the shelves to offer is a true crisis indeed ! Our buying clubs and visitors to the farm will need to wait until this winter when we process more beef. For our poultry customers, late June 2008 will bring a steady stream of our extremely popular and acclaimed pastured poultry. A new flock of layers will be producing those lovely orange yolked prizes early next summer. We have more calves in the queue that will need a year and half to make beef. The theme.......food production still takes time, as animals need time to grow, and a great deal of time and labor goes into our style of farming. The results speak for themselves, but patience is really a virtue now. Our busy, electronically tethered lives are in stark contrast to this axiomatic reality of life and food. My apologies for the stock outage, we're "scrappin'" to fight back with an intelligent expansion plan and with novel strategies to get us there as quickly as possible. The bottom line is you, our customer. Without you, we cannot do our work, and we thank you for your patience and support. We also have a request; hang in there...we need your continued support to help us bring our farm to a higher level of productivity and efficiency. Thanks !!
