Grow Your Own Meat!

I hope this newsletter finds you well both physically and spiritually/emotionally.  These have been a chaotic and peculiar couple of weeks for America and our global neighbors.  Our  dearest wish for you is that you find calm in the chaos and hope in the midst of the storm. 

Mike and I have taken this recent social distancing to telework from our gov't office jobs in DC, and rather than be frustrated with restricted bandwidth on overcrowded network drives I find opportunity to flex my office work schedule to hours when it's inconvenient to be outdoors (exempt of those pernicious conference calls, of course!).  This lends itself to greater opportunity to spend time outside gardening or taking care of routine animal chores during the beautiful weather we're having now.  So, before the sun comes up and after the sun sets,  while the animals are all secured in their barns... and the bulk of our coworkers are offline... I can be online working "the daily grind".  Life is about learning to be flexible and taking opportunity  to make hay while the sun shines!

So, rather than looking at the news, we're out looking into the faces of our livestock as we prepare for spring.  We're cleaning the barn to put compost on the garden, we're hatching baby ducklings & chicks and getting them off to a good start. We're enjoying the beautiful spring buds and blooms while sneezing into the new grass that's greening up our small world here!

MARCH AVAILABILITY

Just as every year, this month we have Red King Broilers available for pick up right now and Broadbreasted Turkeys for July reservation  for those of you homesteading or any who are interested in self-reliant food-security.

Red King Broilers

$3 ea.  If you want a bird that’s an easy keeper, super healthy, has excellent feed conversion, and reaches a consistent processed weight of 5.5 - 6 pounds in 10 weeks the Red King is your bird!   With the Red King I don’t have the array of health issues that plague the Cornish-cross or the inconsistent harvest weights of the Freedom Rangers.  These active meat chickens enjoy lots of bugs and grasses
in addition to  the  grain you feed them which means more meat and less feed cost for you.  Even though they take a little longer long to grow out, I find that these birds cost me the same amount in feed as the Cornish-X because they actually forage.

Broadbreasted Turkeys

 $8.50 ea. These are tender, juicy, and delicious meat birds and it’s why they’re called the “Cadillac” of table turkeys.  Highly disease resistant, excellent feed conversion, and a very ethical grower - there’s no better meat turkey anywhere. White feathers give the birds a neat appearance when dressed.  Properly managed, I can guarantee that this will be the juiciest and most flavorful turkey you've ever eaten! Available in July for a Thanksgiving harvest.

Building resiliency by providing high-quality food for your family year-round takes foresight and planning, plus healthy doses of commitment and follow-through.  Don’t be afraid to start small and build gradually toward food self-sufficiency.  A good starting goal might be to grow 10 meat chickens and 3 meat turkeys and assess your family need for what you've produced and what you can manage to harvest in a season. Perhaps you'd like to harvest 10 chickens every other month to make it work for you... every other month is what works for us too which is why we have Red Kings available every other month during the season. 

 At this time the birds listed above are the only we have available.  Reserve today and avoid the rush.
