Prepare Your Freezer Space

Good Morning Tribe!

I have exciting news: On September the 12th we'll open our annual Pastured Chicken Savings Event!

So what's the point of a Chicken Savings Event?

It's simple... food security and saving money all in one fell swoop. I somehow doubt if anyone will object to that combo! :)

Here's how the food security and saving works:

Our family offers you a steep discount to stock extra chicken in your freezer, we store all we can here in our farm freezers, and between the two of us your food supply is secured... and the discount price is locked in.

Why Chicken Savings in September?

Summer is the only time of year we can raise Truly Pastured Chickens out on lush grass each day. Because of this, we need to grow lots of extra birds each summer so you can still have pastured chicken even during the snowy winter months. :)

We pack our freezers full with chicken in August and September... Then comes October and it's time to harvest pastured Thanksgiving Turkeys.

We need your help with this. Our farm freezers are maxed out.

So... prepare your freezer space for massive savings on our Truly Pastured, Chemical-Free, GMO-Free, Soy-Free Chicken.

If you don't have a chest freezer, buy one.

There are 5 cubic foot freezers here for under $175... You will be able to pay that investment off with the savings from one large bundle during this chicken event.

Seriously. A chest freezer is a totally astounding return on investment!

I can't promise this big of savings on our chicken every year, but here is what I can promise.

We will always give volume savings bundles at specific times of the year to help balance the seasonal nature of real farm life.

If you buy a chest freezer now, you will have space for:

September Chicken Savings: coming soon
January Pork Savings: after our late fall harvest
May Beef Savings: just in time for the griller season
July Seafood Savings: during the sockeye salmon run

And aside from all these special savings events, we still offer 5-pack or 10-pack savings whenever possible throughout the year.

It's a no brainer, really. A chest freezer can help you save more on every order.

If you have one already, be sure to prepare space for this upcoming Pastured Chicken Savings Event to secure your food supply and secure your savings.

If you're even somewhat interested in these savings, be sure to let us know by Joining the Chicken Savings Event.

We encourage you to sign up so we know who is interested in more event details and full access on the 12th. Signing up to be kept informed does not obligate you to buy.

All the best,

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
