Seasonality of products
We
are in the sunshine harvesting business and are very proud of that
fact. In farming grass, we grow a crop that is fed by the soil
and sun and harvested by our animals producing a wholesome
delicious meat much higher in omega 3 fatty acids, CLA's, vitamin
E and beta-carotene than their confinement raised counterparts.
Our fundamental philosophies of "as much grass as possible" will not be
compromised in order to provide , for example, a year around supply of
fresh chicken if it results in us raising the animals indoors during
the non grass season. We match our animal cycles to nature's
cycle. Meat chickens are raised when there are fresh clover and
grasshoppers to eat. The calves and piglets are born when the wild
deer have their fawns so that thier mothers can produce the best
of milk on green grass for the growing babies.
It would actually be much easier and require ALOT less skill to keep
all of our animals on concrete floors indoors and substitute our
husbandry practices with medicated rations and water. And we would have a year around supply of "meat". But guess
what...not on this farm! Go with the flow of the seasons along with us.
In the summer, eat more of our fresh eggs and chicken, then plan ahead
stock your freezer for the winter.
Items do sell out. Order early and get on our waiting lists as needed. You will be glad you did.
