Look for our grass fed lamb to be back in stock by the end of March 2019. Also - we will be helping the Halifax County Junior Livestock Show to sell their lambs. Watch for more details to come.

Country of Origin Labeling, aka COOL, allows for the importation of muscle cuts of beef and pork and ground beef and pork. This foreign meat is then repackaged in the USA and labeled as "Product of the USA." That's right! Your meat could have been produced in China, Brazil, South Africa, France, anywhere. This bothers me. For so many reasons. The first of which is that I believe we have a right to know where our food originates. We have a right to decide where and how we want to spend our money

A customer recently asked me which were the best bones for making a bone broth that gelled up nicely. Yes, bone broth gels up, just like Jello (when it’s cold anyway).

Giacomo and I quickly found that we have a lot in common. We are both passionate about great food. Also, we both quit our perfectly good, well paying jobs to pursue that passion. Now we are both working hard to turn that passion for food into a real living for our families.

We just had our first ever Open Farm Day on October 20, 2018! I want to share some pictures of the event with you! The day started out rainy and I was worried the whole thing would be a bust… But, around 1pm – just when we were getting started – the sky began to clear. So whew! That was a huge relief.

For decades, the weed killer Roundup has been promoted as environmentally safe and harmless to humans. Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, is the most widely used weed-killing chemical on farms, lawns, schoolyards, golf courses and other public spaces. Some 276 million pounds of glyphosate was used in the US in 2014 and its use continues to rise. There’s a good chance it’s in your garage or shed right now.
