Hi,
Donkeys first! These gorgeous girls are new members of the Heather Ridge Farm family. They have been well cared for in foster care for a sanctuary, but now its time to train them and give them their permanent home. And give them names!
Meanwhile in the cooler this weekend, we have Fresh Grassfed Beef and the last of the Fresh Pastured Chicken of the season. For the first time, we are also offering Stew Birds. These are our free range, pastured laying hens, raised on the farm, who are now too old to lay. We have kept many as pets over the years, as a retirement home of sorts, but there are just too many now. Tough birds, great for stock, soup and stews, with good flavor. They range from 3-6 pounds, $2.50/lb
Last Call for Sides of Beef!
Our final beef of the season will be harvested soon. Contact me if you are interested in a half or split half of beef. After this we will have specially priced beef boxes available.
And have you reserved your Thanksgiving turkey yet?
