Chicken and Turkey - Naturally Raised
You work hard to create tasty, healthy meals. We work hard to help make that happen by raising our animals with respect and making sure their needs are well met. After all, they are our partners in the sustainability and success of our farm.
Our animals are raised in a low-stress environment; this keeps them healthier. They are given adequate space, and nutritious food that is easily accessible and natural for their diet, free of added hormones, antibiotics, and animal by-products.
Weather and space permitting they are given time outside but are tucked in securely at night to protect them from predators.
Education is an important mission on our farm.
Knowing where our food comes from is as important to us as it is to you. All our animals are visible to the public during our hours open. We have boards posted with interesting facts about them so you can learn more. Our staff are eager to answer your questions. If they don’t know the answer they will find out for you.
Not all of our animals are for meat production. Our sheep, and goats are great farm ambassadors and they love to have you come visit them.
Roasting Chicken
Ahh! Memories of family meals at Grandma's house. Looking to make a special meal like that? Our roasting chickens are a great choice.
Our chickens arrive as day-old chicks. You can watch them grow in our special warm mini-barns found in our animal barn. We have a series of pens in which they progress to as they grow which gives them room to move and protection from predators.
We raise our chickens till they are approximately 10-12 weeks old resulting in chickens weighing in the range of 5 to 9 lbs., more than enough for a meal.
The leftovers give you time during the week to make delicious sandwiches for lunches or a quick casserole that's ready in less than an hour. It sure beats ordering pizza on those crazy evenings when you have to dash out for yet another activity.
Farm fresh turkeys are available for Thanksgiving and Christmas
"Best turkey we've ever had" are the comments that we hear in our market after the holidays.
For all the stress and effort that you put into making Thanksgiving and Christmas special it's always rewarding to hear the guests compliment your cooking. Starting with quality, fresh ingredients helps make that happen.
We raise a small number of turkeys here on the farm and source what extras we need from other local producers.
Our turkeys are mainly sold by special order so don’t delay. We begin taking orders late August, early September for Thanksgiving and in November for Christmas.

Sorry, you can’t be too specific about the size; we ask for a 5 pound range to be able to accommodate your request as closely as possible.
Put Pork on Your Fork!
Meal planning can be a struggle and there are days that I'm not prepared and just need something quick that is both delicious and nutritious. That's when I pull out a pkg of sausage from the freezer.
Our pork sausage is a nice quick meal that is ready within the hour. Boil for about 20 minutes then brown it under the broiler, in the frying pan, or on the BBQ. Serve as an easy summer meal on a bun or make it a part of a bigger meal with a side of veggies.
For a number of reasons this year, 2024, will be the first year in over 25 years we have not raised pigs. It's an interesting question about why we've stopped. We'd love to have this conversation with you.
We are now sourcing our pork products exclusively from Earlidale Meats in Floradale. They were our butcher for years and we love the high standards they adhere to in all they produce. Their sausage is gluten-free made the old-fashioned way, with no fillers or additives - just good quality pork and a little seasoning. It's the same great flavor and texture you're used to with our sausage. Choose from breakfast size and regular link and honey garlic link.
We also have a nice selection of pork chops, and bacon, available in our market's freezers.
