In lieu of a CSA, this year I opted to
have two Open Farm days each
month during the off-season for
customers who want to come out to
the farm and stock up on products.
The Open Farm days will take place on the first and third Saturday 10 am to 4 pm each month from December through April.
Come see where your food is produced!

Open Farm Days
As much as I love the idea of a meat CSA (community supported
agriculture), I've found that increasingly customers want to determine
what they do and don't receive in terms of protien choices as well as
additional products, many that are often produced by other farmers in
geographical proximity such milk, cheese, butter, bread, vegetables,
etc.
My goal, my passion is to farm and raise the best possible meats in an environmentally and socially sustainable manner--not spend an incredible amount of time (and hydrocarbons) driving from farm to farm to pick up products and then glean a small percentage to cover my costs.
I have spent many years promoting, marketing, selling and delivering products for other farmers. I have witnessed as many CSAs have morphed into cooperatives--I'm not saying this a bad thing, just not my thing.
That is why I must return to the model of raising meat, harvesting when it is ready (as opposed to when it is wanted) and having customers purchase what is available. This is a win-win situation that will keep you well-fed with delicious and healthy meats and ensure I'm not left pulling out my hair when people demand fresh "pastured poultry" in the dead of winter or explain why I can't pick up a gallon of raw milk for them an hour before I leave for out-of-state deliveries.
To keep things simple, each month I will deliver to pre-determined drop off points. The week prior to drop-off, I will provide a link to what's available via email and assorted social networking media. Send your order in by the deadline and I will provide an invoice via email with your total prior to delivery.
