Good morning,

I'm loving the fall weather on the farm these days!

And now to prepare for winter...

Many of you stocked up with our Chicken Savings Event last week and it sounds like everyone is loving the bundles.

For those who did not join the event, you can sign up here to get notified next year when the savings event goes live.

And for everyone, now is your chance to stock up before the October 14 price freeze ends.

If you didn't read the original email about this, we highly recommend you do now: What's happening to our food supply?

Whatever you do, please don't panic.

There will be no "price hikes" after 10/14! :)

Yes, some prices are changing, but not on any staple items like milk, eggs, ground beef or whole chicken.

We are simply making a few price corrections to keep up with inflation and rising costs in many areas.

In the spirit of full transparency, these corrections need to happen to keep our farm sustainable. We knew you'd expect and appreciate a heads-up.

Here are the main items that will be affected:

This list is the main items changing now. There will probably need to be a few other minor price corrections eventually.

Our family and team truly appreciates your understanding as we work through these times together!

All the best of food and blessings,

Wesley Shank

Real farmers. Real Caring. Real Food.

P.S. Our frozen meats will easily last a year or more in your freezer. We recommend stocking up now. If a package becomes unsealed, use it first to avoid freezer burn.

Mystery Meat Is in the News. We're the Opposite.

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.
