We are now prepared to start taking online orders. The form is linked below. Just complete the form, submit it and we will be in contact shortly. We will send invoices through Square. Acceptable forms of payment are cash, debit card or credit card.

EDIT: SIDE HAS BEEN SOLD We have four cows going to the butcher on Wednesday. We still have one side that is not sold. If you are interested, please call Steve at 314-852-7151. WE ONLY SELL SIDES; IF YOU NEED A QUARTER, YOU WILL NEED TO FIND SOMEONE TO SPLIT THE SIDE WITH.

First harvest of the season! Can't wait to cook this up.

Can you tell which is a farm fresh egg versus store bought in this photo? Both of our flocks stopped laying at the exact same time. After over a month (probably closer to 2) and lots of trial and error in a new feed blend, they have started again, albeit it slow.

Seed orders are going to be made today. Have a few new items to add to the garden this year. I'm going to add San Marzano tomatoes, a few new pepper and radish varieties. Bring on spring!

Produce has finally started to.come in! Also have tomatoes but I forgot to get a picture. Green beans are $2.50 per pound, all squash are $1.00 each, cucumbers $.50 each and tomatoes are $1.50 per pound. Slicing and roma tomatoes are available. We also still have beef, pork and eggs for sale too.

Lots going on tonight. We caught the chicken killer so the girls get to stay in their home. They love moving day as they get into fresh grass. They are so funny to watch as it's like a new experience each and every time. The garden is growing so beautifully this year! I'm loving the color of the lettuce. I'm sure I will be harvesting some of it next week. Now if the rain will stop so I can get everything else planted and actually get into the garden.

Out of ribeyes and sirloin but still good stock on other cuts. Contact us with any questions.

We are currently running low or are sold out of some product. We should be able to replenish our pork supply but will continue to be sold out of any beef until we are able to get another one processed. We called three new processors yesterday in the hopes that maybe they had some openings but they are booked out until next February. Some of the backlog will ease but with the fair season rapidly approaching and so many fairs cancelling, the 4-H participants are also now looking at different ways of marketing their hogs and steers and processors are making sure to keep dates open for them, which is the "old normal." All we can hope for is more grace and patience as the entire world navigates the aftershocks of this virus. Feel free to message us with any questions.

Sharing this from another local producer. We understand this post from the beef side. This virus is affecting beef, pork, poultry and vegetable producers. At first glance it looked like it was only affecting the big farms but the trickle down effect has started and will impact us all.

The girls got to move into their new house on Sunday. They are adjusting well. They just need to learn that the tall grass is not for laying eggs but we will get there. Their home is moveable and we plan to move them every day. They did great last night during the first relocation. Egg production is a little less than normal but that's expected and will return to normal in the next week or so.

Not my image -- something I saw on another farm page, but with the COVID-19 virus this definitely is making more sense each and every day.

It was such a beautiful day today I decided it was time to clean everything out to make room for a fall cover crop. Now what to do with all of these peppers!

Blackberries are coming in! Available in pints and quarts. Message if interested.

The girls have kicked it in high gear with their laying the last week or so. If you need eggs, let me know and we can probably hook you up!

We have lettuce this week. 5 oz. bags for $3.50 each.

Unfortunately we will not be at the Olde Towne Fenton Farmers' Market this weekend. We plan to be back on June 23. Hope to see everyone then!

The blackberries are blooming. Fingers crossed that the crazy storms calm down and we don't get any more hail while they're blooming.

Pork is back in stock and available for purchase.

When you're tired of quarantine and you know where the humans keep the good stuff, you make a break for it and help yourself and a few of your closest friends. At least they were kind enough to close the bin again before the whole thing emptied.
