Off to the New Year 2017 - 2016 was an absolutely Amazing year for the Farm and for the families working with the farm and we are really looking forward to 2017.

Our neighbor Derek got a new smoker for Christmas and was itching to cook something for us on it. So we took over a ham, from a Mulefoot/Guinea hog cross, for him to slow cook for us. Unlike commodity hams which are dry and taste like cardboard, these hams are riddled with intramuscular fat - fat from all the extra acorns and whey consumed over the past months. As it cooked the fat seeped into the meat tenderizing, moisturizing and flavoring it - We had a New Year's day brunch with our friends Trae and Laura and their 2016 model baby Rudy ( there are countless amazing things that happened in 2016 and she is one of them) - Along with the ham we had collards I picked in the morning cooked with a ham hock on the wood stove, corn bread and cracklins, and yellow eyed peas that Ashley cooked - a more emollient meal could not be found to ring in the New Year - no wonder these foods are known to bring good fortune - for they are good fortune.

We have a few of these hams in the freezer so if you would like one - just email me back and we will bring it to the market Wednesday for you - they are $4.50 a pound and weigh around 12 to 16 pounds.

Because most folks are not out grilling at this time of year we have a small stock pile of steaks - and have put together a special steak package for you - 10 pounds for $10 a pound ($100) -(Sirloin,Ribeye, Ny Strip and a Filet or 2, we have just a handful of these so be sure to pre order by emailing me.

We have plenty of pork, beef and lamb and now is a good time to stock the larder with a meat package or a half of side, for the next few winter months of the year - slow cooking and meat loafs on the menu -
