Good morning friends,

Today I have a quick video to show you Behind the Scenes Order Packing at The Family Cow farm! The morning work starts at 5:00 so it's often still dark this time of year... but that doesn't keep everyone from arriving promptly to get your food on the way.

Watch now to see how we prepare food each week to go from our family farm to the 54 Pickup Locations across PA so you can get real, clean foods delivered to your community. It's our pleasure to do it for you! :)

This footage was shot earlier this year, but I thought now would be a good time to show you what a busy packing morning looks like during the holiday season! We've been scrambling (literally) to get all the orders out the door some mornings...

Hopefully before long we can do an expansion project and give us more workspace here at the farm so the packing area isn't so crowded! :)

All the best of food and blessings.

Your farmer,

Wesley

You may have seen the news on 300,000 tons of beef trimmings being imported tariff-free into the United States and blended with fatty domestic beef to make cheaper ground beef for everyone. Or maybe you've seen the nationwide recall announced 9/22 for 167,639 pounds of pork, beef, and goat products that may have been already relabeled and distributed through grocery stores and restaurants nationwide. These days you truly need to know your farmer if you want to know your food source and eat with confidence.

Our Chickens Move Twice a Day. Most Never Move at All.

Today I'll show what Truly Pastured means for our chickens compared to "organic" CAFO style barns with 20,000–30,000 birds in one building and only a grass strip along the edge. The problem with industrial organic chickens is that very few of these birds ever go outside... let alone eat a meaningful amount of grass. If they did go out regularly, that mass of birds would turn a small grass strip into a bare dirt mess in a matter of days.
