We love pork chops. We sell three types: rib, center-cut, and sirloin. They’re all cut from the loin of the pig, but the rib are further forward and the sirloin are the furthest back. Try all three so you know which one you like best.
Assawaga (@Assawagafarm) farm stand opening day and plant sale is less then 2 weeks away. Not only will we be there with our pork, eggs, and stew hens, we will be brining a selection of grass fed beef from our friends at Stone Hill Farm (@stonehillfarmct) in Plainfield. Assawaga will have a full selection of plants for sale along with veggies.
Our new and improved snack sticks are back in stock. This time they have a bit more snap to them and bolder flavors. We have a classic flavor and spicy.
Grazing season has begun for us. This means our goats will be moving every day to new pasture. Frequent moving of animals is not only great for them but great for soil health and grass. We can graze quickly for one day then let that paddock recover from the impact. We typically won't return to that same paddock to graze it again for a few months. This gives time for the manure to break down, feeding the microbiology in the soil, which inturns feeds the grass, and eventually feeds the goats.
Our featured item this week is our dry cured soppressata. Made the old fashion way, using only our pork. Slice it thin and serve on a charcuterie board with some local cheeses. Yum!
Did you know we don’t feed corn or soy to any of our animals? We feed our pigs and chickens a certified organic feed blend made custom for us that contains no corn and no soy. And our goats only eat grass!
Lots of new piglets in the last few weeks!
Lots of new odd stuff this week. We now have pork esophagus, spleen, caul fat, and trachea. Pushing the nose to tail even further!
This week we also have implemented a dual pricing menu. We are offering a cash and check discount of 4% on all our products. Pricing on our online store reflects our regular price and we will take 4% off if you’re using cash or check when we finalize your order.
Some days you just want to sleep on the hay pile...
Eggs are back in stock! We have had a waitlist for the past few months, but now we can fill orders large or small. Speaking of small, our newest flock of hens started laying. This means we have pullet eggs (smaller eggs) available.
