I talk a lot about locally sourcing what you can’t grow and last year I started to coordinate a local delivery in Wake Forest because I wanted to form a relationship with a local grass fed, grass finished beef farm. That has grown to over 25 families AND we now have pasture raised chicken, eggs and woodland/pasture raised pork! This Monthly Locally Sourced Meat Delivery is the best option for healthier food.
It has been amazing to see so many families join with me in supporting local farms. I have now officially outgrown the monthly text limit so I am adding this page to my website with all the details. Read below to learn who your farmers are and if you’re interested in joining us with a monthly order, add your email to the list.
Meet our farmers
Hawkfield Manor Timberlake, NC – Grassfed, Grass-Finished beef and lamb, raised with no growth hormones or antibiotics, on Mob-Grazed pastures. They use Regenerative Practices using Silvo Pasture, Traditional pastures, Fruit tree placements, as well as Rotational Grazing with sheep, goats, and poultry in with our livestock guardian dogs.
My Meat Farm Kitrell, NC – Woodland/Pasture raised pork. They root in the ground for grubs, play in the mud and are supplemented with seasonal vegetables and some grain. Yevette’s offerings have favorites like chops and roasts but also fun brat varieties like spinach & feta! Each month I will email that month’s offerings (website in progress!)
Big October Farm Henderson, NC – Pasture raised chicken and eggs. They strive to use regenerative farming methods, environmentally friendly practices, and humane measures to produce the best chicken meat & eggs for our customers. Our chickens eat locally grown & milled non-GMO feed & fresh grass daily, which makes for healthy, highly nutritious meat and eggs for you.
How Does This Work?
We all commit to ordering once a month. There is no required amount or quantity however we want these amazing farmers to be able to rely on our families orders. Each month about a week before orders are due, I will send an email reminder. I will also include any specials, new products or sales. I will also send each link or way to order. You will have all the details you need!
- You will order directly from each farmer.
- Payment is made directly to the farmer.
- Pickup is the 2nd Sunday of each month in Wake Forest. NOTE: you can absolutely arrange to pick up your order from each farmer if you choose.
This has been such a blessing because now you can pickup at one location and get all your meat needs met. And you have the opportunity to talk with the amazing farmers that grew your food! You will not find fresher meat unless you grew it yourself. When you buy meat from the grocery store you have no idea where it was raised, what drugs it was given or how they were treated. Buying local and is better for your health and it’s better for the earth since this meat is grown within an hour from where you live.
