Forming an Email List and Our Fall Farm Prices


Hi From Emma's Family Farm:
We'd like to start an "official" mailing list, one that is set up to easily send messages to all of our customers with information they want to see. Mailings would include newsletters, availabilities (much like what is below), occasional specials, and possibly recipes. We would not expect mailings to be heavy, maybe once a month or less.
Would you be interested in being on such a list?
If so, please send us an Email at 

emmas.family.farm@hotmail.com with the subject line "Email List". Yhaphappeningou would then receive a message that would "opt" you in to the list with your confirmation acknowledgement when you reply to the list host.
 
You would be able to unsubscribe at any time.
 
Thank you.
 
And now ...

Fall 2010

Meats Available at

Emma's Family Farm

 

          Chicken, Beef, Pork and Turkey

    

     Chickens!

Currently there is a wide range of pastured chicken available, all priced at

$2.65 per pound.

 

There are a few Rhode Island cockerels available ranging from 3.5 to 5.5 pounds. These birds raised until 5 to 6 months, have the maturity to insure great flavor and wonderful soup stock.

 

Of course, we also have a broad range of frying and roasting chickens available; from 3 to 6.5 pounds. Their flavor is so much different from barn raised birds, we receive feedback from store owners and individuals marvelling at the "real" taste of our chicken.

 

 

     Beef

You can still purchase half of a Jersey cross steer,

$3.29 per pound plus Processing costs: $25.00 per half animal

Raised on quality, high protein grasses here at the Farm. Totally grass fed, this meat will be tender and have the flavor that only grass and sunlight can provide. Cut, wrapped in vacuum packages and frozen, this beef will be a tasty addition to your meals; it will remain high quality until you eat it.

  (Note: There is only one half available for sale.)

 

We also have some angus beef, steaks and hamburger,  available by the package and priced according to the cut.

 

 

     Pork

Pasture raised pigs are available in half or whole, custom cut, wrapped, smoked to your specifications. Like the beef, this meat is delivered frozen. Pork products will be available for delivery in early November and MidJanuary.

$3.10 per pound plus processing costs: $ 40.00 per whole animal $20.00 per half animal

Pigs at our Farm have plenty of pasture so they develop naturally on the local and high quality grain mix we feed them. They supplement their diet with grass, soil, fruits and roots that they find and do a beautiful job keeping their quarters neat and clean. The idea that pigs are dirty comes from somewhere else; usually the only reason we know the pigs are around is the sound of their excited squealing at feeding time and their happy grunts as they forage and nap.

As you order, discuss your cutting and smoking preferences with us, there is a natural smoke option available for your bacon and hams.

We are asking for a $50 deposit on your pork order.

 

 

     Turkeys

Currently we have heritage turkeys available.

$4.25 per pound

Some shortages of turkeys will be experienced by customers as they shop this Fall. One large provider of pastured birds has raised fewer turkeys. In past years, we have sold every bird we've raised (excepting the ones we eat) so we're encouraging you to order early. Turkeys will be available the week of Thanksgiving. As we aproach that day, your preferred size should be reserved with a deposit of $10.

 

Raising Methods

We raise all of our animals in the most natural way possible. No hormones are given, all animals use our pastures in a rotational grazing fashion, and low stress is accomplished with careful management and individual care. Each of our animals is here for multiple purposes and we respect them all, even through their slaughter and processing into quality meats. We only medicate when absolutely necessary for animal health, and when meats are processed there is no medication residue. Our husbandry practices and careful monitoring create optimum health and growth conditions and our processing methods ensure quality products ready for stocking your freezer or creating a fine meal. If you have questions about what we do, just ask! We're always willing to share information and visits to the Farm are welcomed.

 

     Ordering

You are able to order by telephone, by Email, by US mail or in person. Payment can be made in cash or by check. We are unable to accept credit cards or SNAP.

Wholesale prices are available on some items for stores and restaurants. We are licensed by the State of Maine for wholesale and retail sales.
