Hens for Sale

2011-10-29T06:46:00.000-07:00

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

2011-09-23T16:16:00.000-07:00

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 will be delivering 7 week old Black Sex Link and Rhode Island Red pullets to Raleigh on March 5. We also have beef, chicken, and sausage available. Please give us a call at 910-874-3175 if you are interested.

Fall is here!

2010-09-27T16:58:00.000-07:00

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

2010-05-20T17:57:00.000-07:00

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

2010-05-20T17:13:00.000-07:00

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

2010-05-12T18:20:00.000-07:00

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.

We'll be at the Shallotte Farmer's Market on May 1

2010-04-30T20:38:00.001-07:00

May 1 will be the beginning of farmer's market season for us in 2010. We will be attending the market in Shallotte and we have plenty of nice products to sell. If you can, come check us out.

Pork is now available.

2010-04-03T08:11:00.000-07:00

Sausage, along with limited quantities of other cuts of pork, is available now. We still have beef and chicken, and we have layer pullets on hand.

Pork will be available for Easter

2010-03-24T10:09:00.001-07:00

We will have pork available April 1. We will have sausage loose or stuffed, and we can supply bbq hogs or special cuts upon request.

Chicken Deliveries 3-17, 4-24, 5-15

2010-03-23T09:32:00.001-07:00

We are sold out of pullets for our March 27 delivery to Raleigh, but we have plenty of meat available and we will be making more deliveries on April 24 and May 15. Our waiting lists are growing, so it is best to place your order early.

Roasted Chicken

2010-03-16T19:05:00.000-07:00

After having chickens processed last week at Williamsburg Packing in South Carolina, we wanted to cook one. Wesley roasted one for us tonight, and we really like the way it turned out. In honor of this, here is a picture I took of the goods. :)

Beef and Chicken will be available this weekend.

2010-03-11T07:54:00.001-08:00

We will have whole chicken and pieces along with beef by the individual cut available starting Saturday. If you are interested, please email or give Wesley a call at 910-874-3175. If you are looking for barbecue pigs or any specific cuts of pork, let us know. We will be having hogs processed in the near future. We also have about 20 16-week old pullets remaining for 12 dollars each. We have a good supply of younger ones in the "pipeline," but if you are looking for some that will be laying soon these would be ideal. They are absolutely beautiful. About half are Buff Orpington and the the rest are Rhode Island Red.

We are now making feed!

2010-02-28T15:28:00.001-08:00

After struggling to find feed that is free of animal by products locally, we have started to make our own. We have a hammer mill that was purchased by my great-grandfather in the early 50's but was idle for close to 50 years. We were able to get it in tip-top shape with only a little cleaning and oiling. We can now formulate our own custom rations at a significantly lower cost. This development also allows us to support our local economy more. We grow some of our own corn but we currently don't have enough production and storage capacity to meet all of our needs, so we have to buy a large portion of our corn. We can now purchase it from fellow farmers in our community instead of having to use corn that is hauled long distances and the money stays in our local economy. If any of our customers are interested in buying feed from us or having a custom formulation made, we will be glad to supply it.

Pullet/Meat Delivery Dates

2010-02-03T09:26:00.000-08:00

We have already established two dates to deliver 5 week old pullets to Raleigh. We will be coming on March 27 and April 21. In March, we will have Buff Orpington, Barred Rock, and Rhode Island Red pullets. In April, we will have those breeds plus Silver Laced Wyandottes. The price will remain 5 dollars each plus a 10 dollar per order delivery fee. We will also have sausage, chicken, and beef. No deposit is needed, but quantities are limited and we are taking reservations. Please contact us for meat availablility. 910-874-3175

Updates

2010-01-30T11:27:00.001-08:00

We will be glad when the cold, wet weather leaves us, but we are still very busy this winter. We have sausage available on a continuing basis and we have started a beef waiting list. Chicken will be available by the end of February. If you'd like, check us out on Facebook and keep an eye out for videos from our farm on Youtube.

2009-12-29T15:54:00.000-08:00

We will be delivering sausage and 8 week old pullets to Raleigh on Jan. 2. The pullets are 6.50 each plus a 10 dollar delivery fee and the sausage is 4.75 per pound.

Update

2009-12-09T07:44:00.000-08:00

We will be delivering pullets to Raleigh on Saturday, Dec. 12. We have Black Australorp, Buff Orpington, and Rhode Island Red pullets available. We also have stuffed whole-hog pastured sausage available. Due unforseen issues with processors, we will have cuts of beef available in late February. Please check out our ad on bladenonline.com and visit our Local Harvest listing at http://www.localharvest.org/farms/M20270

Sausage is now ready

2009-12-04T08:08:00.000-08:00

The hogs we had processed this week yielded more sausage than we expected and we have plenty for sale. It is whole-hog, which means that it contains meat from the entire hog, not just the "left-overs" and variety meats. As is the case with all of our animals, the hogs were produced without antibiotics, hormones, or drugs. The sausage is all-natural with no preservatives, MSG, or artificial ingredients. If you are interested in some, please email or give us a call at 910-874-3175. If you are outside of Southeastern NC, we will be happy to ship to you.

It's raining again

2009-12-02T09:24:00.000-08:00

We are certainly thankful to be out of the drought that plagued us for the last couple of years, but this fall has turned out to be much wetter than we thought it would be. The remnants of Tropical Storm Ida dropped six inches of rain not long ago, and we are getting a good soaking as I write this. This is not the ideal time to have a 4 day old calf, but a heifer was born this weekend on a cold morning and is doing great. Pregnant and lactating cows can have a hard time in the cool seasons, but the heirloom corn silage we use provides good nutrition during the gap between warm and cool season pasture so that calves born in less than perfect weather can still thrive. We say that we "raise" animals and that word is appropriate I guess but it is really Nature that does the work. Wet periods in cold weather can mean problems for hogs raised on pasture, but we are fortunate to have our hog pasture in a place where they can stay dry and have protection from the wind. I have visited farms where hogs were in several inches of mud with no dry place, and I feel that is not humane at all. We have a building that they can go into, but they seem to prefer the shelter of the trees and the wallows that they make for themselves in the woods. We are anxiously awaiting the sausage that will be ready this Friday. We can't wait to try it. Good quality meat is always something to enjoy, especially when you have the satisfaction of it coming from your own animals. We had crown roasts cut from 3 young hogs for Christmas dinner, and I'm sure that my aunt who is the "family chef" will do them justice.

It's time to order pastured pork sausage for the holidays

2009-11-18T10:38:00.000-08:00

We will be having a limited number of hogs made into stuffed or loose country sausage in time for Christmas. This sausage will contain no artificial ingredients or preservatives, and of course our hogs are produced naturally on pasture without antibiotics, hormones, or growth-promoting drugs. The sausage will be vacuum packed and processed in an inspected facility. The price will be 4.75 per pound for stuffed sausage and 4.50 per pound for loose sausage and it will be packaged in 1 lb. packs. Treat yourself and your family to great tasting traditional sausage with the knowledge that it will be all natural and highest quality. Please email or call to make your reservation. For those outside of our area, we can ship sausage to you. We can also accept credit card payments through Paypal.

Update- Beef Sales, Chicken Delivery on Dec. 12 to Raleigh

2009-11-11T14:44:00.000-08:00

It has been a while since we posted anything on blogspot, but we have had a busy fall. We have been feeding our open pollinated heirloom silage for about 4 weeks and the cows are thriving on it. Beef orders have been coming in much faster than last year, and we are thankful for that. We will have individual cuts of beef available December 12. We have built a larger and nicer hog pasture that is wooded with oak trees. (hogs love acorns) Hopefully we will have pork in early 2010. We will have a limited amount of sausage available in time for Christmas. We will also be delivering 5 week old pullets to Raleigh on Saturday, Dec. 12. We will have Buff Orpington, Black Australorp, and Rhode Island Red pullets available. If interested, please email or call 910-874-3175. In case you haven't seen it yet, here is the link to our Local Harvest listing. We have a blog on there and you can view updates and reviews. http://www.localharvest.org/farms/M20270

We are now NC registered meat handlers

2009-09-02T14:04:00.000-07:00

We are now registered with the NC Dept. of Agriculture as Meat Handlers. This is an important step for us, because it means that we can now sell inspected beef by the individual cut. We will have a price list soon and we will have meat ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas. All beef will be inspected and vacuum packed to preserve quality. We will still offer quarters, halves, and whole cows to those interested. We also have rabbits on hand which we will slaughter ourselves when ordered.

putting up silage from an heirloom variety of corn for our cattle

2009-08-02T18:25:00.000-07:00

We are putting up silage made from open pollinated white corn this year. The variety dates to the mid 19th century but has performed well. The stalks are extremely tall, and we've been impressed with the yield and quality. We understand that a lot of our customers want meat that is fed with non-GMO feeds, and this is a heritage plant that seems very viable for quality silage. We will try to post pictures of the process soon.

Chicken and Rabbit Delivery to Raleigh on 7-25

2009-07-19T09:14:00.000-07:00

We'll have some other varieties on our next trip though in about a month (the ones mentioned plus Buff Orpingtons, Black Australorps, and Barred Rocks).

In addition to the chickens, we also have some young rabbits who would be very suitable as pets or for meat. Please send us an email for more info, and we look forward to hearing from you.

Layer Pullets and Broilers Available

2009-05-10T10:05:00.000-07:00

We currently have layer pullets and red broilers available. The broilers are ready to process, and we will sell them live or dressed to order.

2009-03-27T15:14:00.001-07:00

We still have some pullets available for sale in early April, but we have orders for most of them. We have a very good supply of Silver Laced Wyandottes, and we also have a good many Barred Rocks and Rhode Island Reds. We have more coming of various breeds that will be ready the last week of May also.

Ducks Coming this Summer in Addition to our Spring Broilers

2009-02-23T17:56:00.000-08:00

In addition to our broiler chickens for meat, we are raising a limited quantity of ducks for meat this spring. This is something new for us and we are doing it as an experiment to see what the demand will be. If it is successful, we will continue to raise them. They will be available live or dressed. As with the broilers, we are taking advance orders, and we have already had some folks order broilers and ducks.

Feb. 28 delivery postponed

2009-02-20T16:17:00.000-08:00

Due to predator problems causing a lot of our birds to pile up and smother, we will have to postpone the Feb. 28 delivery until the first week of April, but we should have about 300 pullets of various breeds available, so if you are interested, please contact us. On a more positive note, we will be planting corn in a few weeks and this year we are switching to an heirloom open-pollinated variety called Boone County White. It dates to the mid 19th century and grows very tall, so it should yield a lot of silage. Our small herd is now up to 10 beeves, and they are looking great.

Our Recommendations for Feeding Chickens

2009-02-04T20:24:00.000-08:00

We have had a lot of questions about what our customers should feed their laying hens after they purchase pullets from us, and here are our recommendations. We use a good quality starter feed of approximately 20% protein until chickens reach about 16-18 weeks of age and switch them to a layer ration with oyster shells offered free choice. There are many quality brands available, and the brand you choose will probably depend on which feed dealer is most convenient. Since starter/grower and layer feeds are complete rations which are scientifically formulated to meet the dietary requirements of poultry, we advise against the use of scratch feed, as it effectively "dilutes" the nutrients present in a complete feed. Nutritional deficiencies can manifest themselves in many ways, often with very detrimental results.

Questions have also arisen about the feeding of vegetable scraps, and we have found this to be a good practice. When birds are free-ranged, we recommend offering feed, especially to laying hens. In an area with plenty of natural forage, it is quite possible for chickens to perform very well without supplemental feed, but if there is any doubt about whether or not your chickens can obtain enough nutrition from nature, feed should be offered. Regular feeding in the same place also keeps chickens roosting there and makes management much easier.

Delivering Chickens to Raleigh Feb. 28

2009-02-04T20:21:00.000-08:00

We will be delivering 5 week old pullets and cockerels to Raleigh on Feb. 28. We still have a few available for the 21st, but the chickens for that trip are almost all spoken for. We have a variety of breeds available, and no deposit is required. Please contact us with any questions you may have or to place an order.

Pre-Ordering Meat Chickens and Broilers

2009-02-02T14:23:00.000-08:00

We will be raising broilers for meat this spring/summer, and you can pre-order your meat chickens. We will process them at approximately 5 pounds live weight and the price will be 10 dollars each. We are happy to process them so that they comply with religious dietary standards if necessary, and the chickens can be cut up for an additional $1 each. Discounts will be available if you would like to help dress your birds. No deposit is required, and we will notify you 2 weeks in advance of the day we process them so that you can pick them up fresh. We can also freeze them if you would like. There is no minimum order, and when we receive orders for at least 25 chickens, we will order chicks. They will be ready to process in approximately 7 weeks. If you have any questions, please give us a call or email.

Update on Delivery of Chickens to Raleigh on Feb. 21

2009-01-26T16:36:00.000-08:00

We are making a delivery of 6 week old chickens to Raleigh on Feb. 21. The price is 5.50 each plus a 10 dollar per order delivery fee. We currently have Barred Plymouth Rock, Rhode Island Red, and Black Australorp pullets available. Please email or call us if you are interested.

In the works...

2009-01-18T18:28:00.000-08:00

To keep our customers updated, we would like to let you know of some developments in progress. In the near future, we will be expanding our operation by producing our own feed using local grains and our own feed mill. We are also looking to start producing and selling goat milk for pet use, and, as always, we are constantly growing our operation and trying to serve you better. If you are in search of something that we have not listed, please ask, and we will help you in any way we can. Thank you for your continued support.

What do you feed your livestock?

2009-01-18T17:24:00.000-08:00

All of our animals are fed a natural and balanced diet void of any animal by-products, and none of our animals are given preventive antibiotics. Our cattle are fed a mixture of forb grass, cereal rye grass, corn silage, kudzu, hay, and turnips. The turnips we use are fed as brassica, a popular forage crop in Europe. We rotate what the cattle are fed by what is in season and is available locally. Since cows are natural born grass eaters, we aim to feed them as much forage and grass as is possible in our area resulting in a forage grown and finished beef with less fat and a better flavor (as our customers have reported and we have tasted ourselves). Our meat chickens are free-range, and our starter pullets are fed Southern States Chick Starter. Our cage-free layers are fed Southern States Layer Pellets. All of our feeds are balanced feeds that are free of animal based proteins. In the near future, we are looking to expand our operation by producing our own feed using local grains and our own feed mill.

Pricing Information and Logistical Concerns

2008-10-28T18:33:00.000-07:00

Beef

Beef is available by the individual cut or in bulk by the quarter, half, or whole cow. Bulk beef is priced at $2.50 per pound hanging weight plus processing charges. Hanging weight is the weight of the cow after it has been butchered and each side of meat is weighed. Due to the removal of bones when cutting the meat for packaging and the loss of moisture during aging, the final weight will generally be 75-80% of the hanging weight. Each cow is different so these numbers may vary slightly from animal to animal. A customer can purchase ¼, ½, or a whole cow to be processed. As soon as we have enough orders for a whole cow, we take one to the plant. We accept deposits of $100.00/quarter when orders are placed and collect the balance when the customer receives the meat. Our animals are processed at Williamsburg Packing, a USDA inspected facility. The rate that Williamsburg charges for processing is 75 cents per pound. This charge includes aging, packaging, and wrapping to the customer's specifications plus a nominal butchering fee for the whole animal. Based on previously processed animals, the final price per pound of beef in your freezer is about $4.00/lb. As stated before, every cow differs so this price varies slightly per animal. This price includes all the cuts of beef from filet mignon to top quality, lean ground beef. If you were to buy similar cuts of meat at the grocery store, your costs would be significantly more. Additionally, due to the way we are able to raise our animals, we feel that we have an advantage in both price and quality. All beef is vacuum packed and Federally inspected. To estimate freezer space, an approximately 700-800 pound cow will be about 100-125 pounds hanging weight per quarter, and a quarter will fill about 3 large paper grocery bags. . For purchasing or questions, please contact Wesley Stephens at 910-874-3175 or via email, or Edward Stephens at 910-549-4113. We thank you in advance for your interest.

Cage Free Eggs

Currently we have only a family sized laying flock but often have eggs for sale. Our eggs are 3 dollars a dozen and may include white or brown. If you are in search of a specific color only, please contact us.
