Hey there folks! We hope everyone is enjoying the rain as much as our grass and garden are…even the animals are getting their baths! We just wanted to update you on our going-ons for the next month or so…

BEEF IS IN!! We have a fully stocked freezer of grass-only beef, as well as our pork; mix in a dozen eggs and our salad mix and you’ve got a meal! All of which are available in our Saloon Farm Store during the week, and on Saturdays from 9-4.

We are so excited about our new breed of pastured chickens for this year – the Freedom Rangers. This heritage bird is proving to be much more resilient to Mother Nature, and they are something to watch. At any given moment, you can see some grazing, a few are running and jumping at least 2 feet in the air, and a couple roosters are facing off with their neck feathers raised! They are quite entertaining! Their meat has been raved upon and will provide you with both white and dark meat – as well as being raised locally with proper space, care, and non-GMO feed. If you would like to find out more about this new breed of chicken we are offering, please check out www.jmhatchery.com and look up “colored range.” We are still taking orders for all chicken dates this summer, and you can find the order form under the “Products” tab on our homepage. Our first chicken pick-up date is May 27th from 9-6pm, where we will also have our frozen meat products, fresh eggs, gourmet salad mix, and freshly baked bread available for purchase. Carly will also be offering a class on “Getting the Most from Your Whole Chicken” that evening from 5:30-6pm. This should be a very informative way to get your money’s worth, as well as provide numerous meals for yourself or your family. Give us a call or email for more information if you’re interested.

For all you Lynchburgians in the area, the Mobile Meat Market will be rolling into the city on May 19th! We will be setup at Mike Cundiff’s Mind Body Studio at 311 Rivermont Avenue from 4-7pm, with our stock of frozen meats, fresh eggs, gourmet salad mix, and freshly baked breads. Come on out and see us! 

We also wanted to remind you of our free guided tour on May 21st from 1-3pm. Here you will get a firsthand look at our Freedom Ranger chickens, as well as getting to meet our other farm friends! Feel free to bring out your family and friends, and spread the word as well!

One more thing…. Ben has fulfilled a ten-year desire to work cows on horseback by adding Paul and Black Jack to his flock of mouths to feed – he is quite tickled about this….
