We have smoked bone in and boneless hams are in stock while supplies last.

Big hefty bone in hams are in the 9 pound range, Boneless ones are 4 pound range.

We also have sausgae, chops, ribs, brats, kielbasa, canadian and regular smoked bacon.

Maple Season has been good to us and we have a large supply with a variety of gorgeoius glass bottles. These are returnable too! We ship maple syrup in plastic 1/2 pint, pint and quart sizes but don’t ship the glass options.

New is Maple Sugar in the 4 and 9 ounce bags. Great to use to replace white sugar in almost any recipe or however you like to add sweetness. We sprinkle over bacon and ham!

Popcorn is one of healthiest snacks and you can now have a great snack that is locally grown. It’s grown by us with NO chemcials and NO artificial fertilizers. Fresh, sustainable, regenterative agriculture, delicous, healthy…. try some and enjoy the difference. Great as a gift too.l

SOAPS are made by me- Tricia- right here on the farm by hand using NO imported oils. I use beef tallow and pork lard to replace imported oils. Lightly scented using either Essential Oils or Fragrance Oils.

Simple paper label wrap so you can cut down on wasteful packaging and reduce plastic.

INFLATION:

is not fun and we know everyone is experiencing it.

Farmers have been dealing with price increase, shortages and long waits for shipping for 2 years now.

We are consumers too so it’s hard to increase prices, we know how it impacts you. Perhaps some companies think about that when increasing prices but most just input it into their financial spreadsheets which spit out the new pricing. Then it goes on down the line. Few farmers do that. More should.

More will be going out of business in the coming year. This means less food options and less for consumers. See cheap food sure is a good deal for you but in the end farmers get screwed, often by choice. Few farmers can manage their farm as a business instead they don’t manage it, they just take whatever and then have 1, 2, 3 other jobs plus spouses working to pay for the farm . Basically they are subsidizing the farm and food they sell. Welfare farms are not a good thing.

I see signs all over town for eggs $3 a dozen. Last I checked that’s lower than in a grocery store. Grain prices are slowly rising, electricity is rising, egg cartons are expensive…. but well raised eggs are cheap.

It’s not a good thing because at some point those people are going to figure out they are losing money and then instead of correcting their price they will quit.

Farming is not a hobby here. It’s our lives and our livelihood. No way are we wealthy and we are not well off. Who pays when the tractore needs $800 in new back tires? Who pays when the cultivator needs new spaces at the cost of $25 each (used to be $10) and there are 12 of them?

Covid is worldwide and still a menace. It’s still destroying lives and impacting every bit of a small CNY farm and the community even if you don’t see it.

Who pays when our health insurance says we make too much money and the don’t cover a rescue inhaler for an asthma condition? yeah…… we get it.

Nothing is easy and nothing is free. We work hard here and we deserve more.

A farmer firend in another part of the state had their farmstand shot up one day, it destroyed freezers, cooler and thousands of dollars in products that they grow. They deserve better.

Someone left us a nasty note last August on a 90+ degree day, the day our cooler full of hundreds of dollars worth of fresh veggies croaked. it heated everythign to over 65F and it was all lost. Oh insurance will cover it? Nope because it’s not over the deductable. The unit is dead and we couldn’t get it repaired. Thousands of dollars to replace and we still have not replaced it. So get a grant you say? There are none for this. Zip. Nada. We applied for a grant for a walk in cooler, high tunnel and other equipment and were denied.

So we move on, do it ourselves and get it done with little money.

If you want to help we are looking for a good deal on a walk in cooler - only the insulated panels not the compressor. Or a 2or 3 door glass door cooler that does not work. Yeah we can retrofit those to something much better and cheaper but we need help finding such a deal. We’ve tried and nothing so far. FB Market place is full of scams too. See we aren’t asking for a handout- just a hand up so we can raise more food and make an honest living.
