Hens for Sale

We have some extra laying hens that are very nice and priced to move. We are selling them for 8 dollars. Most are Black Australorp and White Leghorn, and we have smaller amounts of a few other breeds. The fall is progressing nicely. We are running the sawmill for the first time in a while today and preparing to plant rye for fall pastures. We recently purchased two very nice breeding sows and our pork expansion is continuing. We are also expanding our meat chicken production. If you are interested in hens, sausage, beef, etc... please call Wesley at 910-874-3175.

Lots of things happening

As fall comes upon us, we have a lot going on. We are pleased to be a part of Down East Connect, which is and online marketplace which links customers in Wilmington to farmers in Bladen and Columbus counties. Sales began this summer, and response has been good. We have continued producing high-quality meats and we are in the process of expanding our pork production. We now offer, beef, pork, poultry, homemade cane syrup, and honey. Please check back soon for more information.

Fall is here!

Fall is traditionally the time of year that we have beef processed, and we have several cows available. We have beef available by the individual cut or in bulk, and it will be ready in time for Thanksgiving. We also have traditional country sausage, Italian sausage, and various cuts of pork available. For more information, please contact us.

Whole-Hog Sausage with Spaghetti

After having a lot of positive feedback in response to our whole-hog sausage, I cooked some the other night and took this snapshot to share. It turned out well. I cut the sausage into approximately 1 inch lengths, grilled them lightly in a small amount of olive oil, wiped up the small amount of excess grease, and simmered them in Classico Spaghetti sauce with a bit of added black pepper and basil. I served it on some Healthy Harvest spaghetti, and we really like how the simple recipe turned out.

Raleigh Tour d' Coop and Shallotte Farmers' Market

We have been staying busy lately selling our meat each week at the Shallotte Farmers' Market, baling wheat hay, and taking care of everyday business on the farm. Additionally, a lady on Raleigh's Tour d' Coop last Saturday who we also have sold pullets to in the past invited us to come by her house and set up a table to promote our backyard chicken flocks and other products. It was a lot of fun, and Wesley and I got to talk to a ton of people about chickens, farming, and a good bit of everything in between. In addition to the Tour d' Coop we have been selling at the Shallotte Farmers' Market for the last three weeks, and it has been a good experience getting to know the folks there and having the chance share our products. I took a few cell phone pictures our first weekend there, and thought you'd like to take a glance and some of the goings on.

Here is Wesley and Edward standing with a sign I made to list our pricing and information.

This is a snapshot of our "booth neighbor," Jeremy Conroy with his handcrafted wood bowls, cutting boards, Christmas ornaments, and wine bottle stands. You should definitely check out his and his wife Amy's etsy store, Otiscraft when you get the time.

Be on the lookout soon for honey made on the farm with the above label attached.

If you're in the area this Saturday, we'd love to chat with you about our products and help you in anyway we can.

A busy Saturday is coming up

Wesley and Bethany will be taking chickens to Raleigh on Saturday and talking with folks on the Tour de Coop, and Edward will be selling meat at the Shallotte Farmer's Market. We have a good supply of meat available and we have plenty of pullets on hand, so if you are looking for beef, chicken, pork, or pullets for a home flock, we will be happy to help you.
