A new year and a new batch of pigs. This lot is a Berkshire-Tamworth cross and will be ready for market at the end of April. Keeping animals through the winter is bit more challenging than during the warm months, but these 7 have taken well to their new home. Can't believe how much digging and rooting they do, even through the frozen ground!

Our Berkshire pigs have been a real treat to raise. Love their curiousity and rambunctious personalities! Berkshire pork is prized for its exceptional marbling, flavour and juicy quality. Our 4 barrows love to tear up everything, including their recently lush and green pasture! Feeding on non-GMO hog grower as well as many different garden scraps including the overgrown radishes and beets we tossed in last weekend, our boys are putting on a lot of flavourful meat. December 1 will be a hard day, but we're looking forward to enjoying this amazing pork on the grill, in our smoker and on the pan. We still have 1 and a half pigs available - $4.99/lb for a whole or half pig (anticipating hanging weight of 200-250lbs).

Fall is in the air and Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away! We still have some Orlopp Bronze pastured turkeys available. They will be available fresh on Friday October 8 and Saturday October 9 for $4.00/lb. Order yours by sending a PM or email us at [email protected]

Thanksgiving is fast approaching and our Orlopp Bronze turkeys have been growing well, free-ranging on our farm and enjoying their non-GMO feed. We are offering an "early-bird" Thanksgiving special of $4.00/lb, discounted from our regular price of $4.50/lb. Our limited number of turkeys will be available fresh, ready for on-farm pick up on Friday October 9 and Saturday October 10. Order yours today!

Our rustic rangers were processed last week and are all sold out! Thanks very much to everyone who purchased our chickens and we hope you enjoy them as much as we have. Our go-to recipe is garlic butter oven roasted chicken. Wash and dry the chicken, cover it with butter inside and out, and apply a dry rub of garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Personally I love stuffing a whole garlic head of cloves under the skin as well. Cook at 350 for 1 hour per 4lbs of chicken, take it out of the oven and tent with aluminum foil for half an hour. Delicious!
