Month: March 2019

I’ll be at the Charlotte Regional Farmers Market tomorrow until around 11am.

I have eggs again this week – organic fed, soy-free, free range, from Carlea Farm. Everyone is saying they are the best eggs.

I have potted plants this week- parsley (that’s us in the photo), cutting celery and chives in 4″ pots.

For veggies I have big, beautiful bunches of collard greens and swiss chard, bunches of Siberian kale, parsley, and bags of Red Russian kale; a ton of leeks; Covington and Beauregard sweet potatoes, hard red winter wheat, and I’ll have our 100% grass fed & grass finished black Angus beef in these cuts:

Ribeye, NY strip, sirloin, skirt, flap steak, flat iron, short ribs, philly steak, cube steak, stew beef, osso bucco, brisket, sirloin tip roast, eye of round roast, boneless chuck roast, soup bones, hot dogs.

AND a sale on short ribs! 20% off this weekend. We have a lot of ribs in stock and more beef coming back from the processor soon so the ribs gotta go! I have a delicious recipe for Short Ribs in Red Wine on the website.

Bulk pricing on our beef: quarters, halves and wholes – $3.50 lb hang weight plus the cost of processing (.75/lb)

We are now also offering (almost) half-quarters – not quite 1/8 of a cow (60 lbs) for $460. This is a great savings over the regular price you pay per piece, but quarters, halves and wholes are still the best deal.

Today was a really sad day, we had to put down a horse. Jasper had an eye disease that was chronic and painful, and the owners and vets just exhausted all the treatment options basically besides removing his eyes. He’s been through a lot with his eyes. I’ve been taking care of him for I think about 15 years or so, and he is or was really like my own. It was pretty rough today but it’ll be a lot worse going out there every day and not seeing his sweet face. He was a very gentle soul.

See you guys tomorrow

Hello! I’ll be at the Charlotte Regional Farmers Market tomorrow until around 11am.

I have eggs again this week – organic fed, soy-free, free range, from Carlea Farm. Everyone is saying they are the best eggs.

Spring greens are looking so gorg! 🙂 I have big, beautiful bunches of collard greens and swiss chard, bunches of Siberian kale, parsley, and bags of this lovely Red Russian small leaf kale in the photo above; a ton of leeks; Covington and Beauregard sweet potatoes, hard red winter wheat, and I’ll have our 100% grass fed & grass finished black Angus beef in these cuts:

filet, ribeye, NY strip, sirloin, flank, skirt, flap steak, flat iron, short ribs, philly steak, cube steak, stew beef, osso bucco, brisket, sirloin tip roast, eye of round roast, boneless chuck roast, soup bones, hot dogs.

This looks amazing: Korean BBQ Burritos. We have nice big sirloin steaks, or a sirloin tip roast would be perfect for this too.

Bulk pricing on our beef: quarters, halves and wholes – $3.50 lb hang weight plus the cost of processing (.75/lb)

We are now also offering (almost) half-quarters – not quite 1/8 of a cow (60 lbs) for $460. This is a great savings over the regular price you pay per piece, but quarters, halves and wholes are still the best deal.

I made this Collard Green Salad with Ginger and Spicy Seed Brittle from Bon Apetit awhile back, although I modified it a bit, it was delish.

We’ll be getting beef back from the processor in a couple weeks so if you’re thinking of doing 1/8 or quarter, it’s a good time to let me know as I’ll be writing the cutting order soon.

See you tomorrow!

Hi! I’ve been getting some messages about whether I’ll be at the market tomorrow so this is just a reminder that I will not. ☺️

See you next weekend!

We have a wildlife camera up on the farm, and we got this shot of a bobcat! I’ve lived here 12 years and have never seen one, but Shane has. I’m thinking this is what got my chickens though, and there have been someone’s dead chickens showing up around the property the last couple months.

I’ll be at the Charlotte Regional Farmers Market tomorrow until around 10 or 11am.

I have eggs again this week – organic fed, soy-free, free range, from Carlea Farm.

Collards, chard, red radishes, leeks, Covington and Beauregard sweet potatoes, hard red winter wheat, and I’ll have our 100% grass fed & grass finished, Animal Welfare Approved Angus beef in these cuts:

ribeye, NY strip, sirloin, flank, skirt, flap steak, flat iron, short ribs, philly steak, cube steak, stew beef, osso bucco, brisket, sirloin tip roast, eye of round roast, boneless chuck roast, soup bones, hot dogs.

We also got a coon, a possum, a buck, a doe, a pretty gray cat, and our neighbor’s dog.

Ol’ possum is kind of a rough lookin feller. There were several of the doe. So pretty!

I had a lot of collards left over from last week’s market so I made Smoky Sweet Black-eyed Peas and Greens in the Instant Pot. Really, really good. Keeper. It’s so flavorful that I didn’t even use the hot sauce.

I’m still looking for someone to help me on the farm a few hours a week. Inquire within 🙂

See you tomorrow! Oh and I almost forgot, I won’t be at the market next week. I’m going to Virginia for the whole week, to be certified in Equine Sports Massage Therapy. And almost equally excited to have no chores for a week – Shane is REALLY not looking forward to taking those over while I’m gone.

Change of plans! I’ll be at the Charlotte Regional Farmers Market tomorrow until around 11am.

I made this Sweet Potato Pizza Crust last night and it was delicious! It was a little sticky because I used wheat flour instead of coconut flour.

See you tomorrow!
