Good morning!

The long awaited announcement is here...

Our Pastured Chicken is now Corn-FREE as well as Soy-Free! :)

We've been soy-free for years and have heard so many folks expressing thanks and appreciation for it that we decided to take our chicken to the next level.

Say good-bye to Corn Allergies & Sensitivities in chicken! :)

Corn-free is officially here for all sizes of whole birds, parts, and popular boneless skinless chicken breast. The only one that is not totally corn-free yet is the chicken skin since we still have some left from before we made the corn-free switch. It is currently on sale.

We always love to increase the quality of foods coming from our farm to your table but it's hard to find the perfect balance between amazing standards and affordable chicken. Do you value things like corn-free and our commitment to chemical-free chicken feed even if it means a 5-8% price bump next year?

Thankfully we can hold off all price adjustments for now!

In fact, next week we'll offer our best chicken savings of the year to help make freezer space for Thanksgiving Turkeys next month. :)

The new Corn-Free protocol is exciting, but of course, all our other top-notch standards are still in place as well.

Our chicken is always moved to fresh pasture each day, Humanely Raised & Harvested, Chemical-Free, GMO-free, Antibiotic-Free, Soy-Free and now Corn-Free so your family can eat nutrient-dense chicken with confidence.

This daily moving is extremely important since it allows our birds to forage a balanced diet of bugs, grubs, flies and a complete salad bar of grasses along with the clean grains we grow ourselves.

With plenty of forage in the diet, this meat is 3-4 times higher in Omega-3s and CLAs compared to CAFO chicken. Even industrial organic chicken in the grocery stores does not offer this level of nutrients since the birds only have minimal access to a "grass" strip along the edge of a large, stationary barn.

And to top it all off, our family and team hand-butchers our birds on our farm in our zero-waste, mobile butchering wagon. Even the feathers are composted and their nutrients returned to the farm soil.

Since we are the butchers, we never allow Chlorine or any other chemicals anywhere near your chickens! Nothing but a touch of organic apple cider vinegar, Celtic Sea Salt, and ice are used in the chill water.

Our Chicken is Always:

✓ Organically Pastured
✓ Humanely Raised
✓ Antibiotic-FREE
✓ Chemical-FREE
✓ Truly Pastured
✓ mRNA-FREE
✓ GMO-FREE
✓ Corn-FREE
✓ Soy-FREE
:-)

It's our goal to treat you like friends and feed you like family.

Your Farmer,
Wesley

Scranton, PA Why use Lard? It's a clean traditional fat like tallow and butter.Has a natural blend of the three types of fats: monounsaturated fat, saturated and polyunsaturated.7 Healthy Reasons to Eat Lard.Here is an article you'll find inspiring: 10 Reasons to Bring Lard Back The Story Behind our Woodland Pork Lard: We don't waste anything on our farm. Especially when it comes to livestock. We respectfully use every bit of that animal to accomplish the most good possible. What can't be eaten is carefully turned into rich composted and given back to the soil to fuel plant growth and build organic matter. What CAN be eaten falls into two categories. The first category is LOVED by all and basically needs to be rationed out.... For example, people will "fight" for the chance to eat juicy pastured pork chops, crispy bacon, savory sausages, or BBQ baby back ribs. But not everyone has as much love for the second category which makes up a sizeable portion of each pig. This category includes things like soup bones, knuckle bones, and LOTS of pork fat since we refuse to use the industry standard Ractopamine (Paylean) drug to keep our pigs artificially lean. The good news is, we are able to render some of this excess fat into beautiful Woodland Pork Lard that now falls into the loved-by-all category! :) Lard is so versatile it's simple to use as a substitute for your everyday cooking oil. It adds pizazz to everything from simple breakfast fried eggs to homemade French fries. Lard is the secret ingredient your Grandma used for her delectable flaky pie crust. With our clean Pastured Pork Lard you can cook with confidence. No need to worry if it is Chemical-Free, GMO-Free, Antibiotic-Free, Hormone-Free, Soy-Free or Humanely Raised. We farm with integrity to give you the peace of mind you deserve at every meal. Enjoy the lard!

Ground Breaking News at Family Cow farm!

After 3 long years of planning, today we literally have ground breaking news to share with you all! :) The temporary 'reefer trailers' we've been using as our Family Cow facilities since 2008 will finally be replaced by an actual building! We are thankful for how well our 'reefers' served us for the last 17 years, but it's past time for this improvement!

Behind the Scenes Video of Order Packing

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
