Good morning,

You really need to take a few minutes to watch Pastured Poultry: Better Way Forward.

It's a great video from the American Pastured Poultry Producers Association (APPPA). They clearly show the outstanding advantages of pastured poultry.

These truly pastured chickens are moved each day like our birds.

And while pastured chicken is truly amazing... it's not enough.

We go well beyond pastured.

Most pastured chickens are fed GMO-Free chicken feed.

And that's good.

Except.

GMO-Free does not mean the feed is also CHEMICAL-FREE!

Just before harvest, non-GMO wheat, barley and oat fields are commonly sprayed with Glyphosate in a practice called Desiccation.

Our chickens get pure, organically grown feed that is:

1. Chemical-Free

2. Soy-Free

3. And GMO-Free

Are Chemical-Free foods important to your family? Please hit reply and let me know.

I'll try to follow up with more details in a later email...

Meanwhile, enjoy our Organically Pastured Eggs and Chicken this week!

All the best of food and blessings,

Wesley

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

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
