It’s starting to come down freezing rain outside folks. I’m going to wait till the rain moves out and the temperature gets a few degrees above freezing, so the roads are clear before opening today. The weather says about noon… y’all be SAFE!!

We closed early today to go look at some new bulls for our ladies we are thinking of buying. If we score a new handsome fella, I’ll be sure to post a picture for y’all. Get outside and get some sunshine!

I have 3 more beef sampler packs and 3 more pork sampler packs available for this month. If you’d like to get your family one let me know ASAP! The next butcher will be towards the end of March or possibly into April depending on the butcher schedule. Eggs are continuing to increase now with our days getting longer again. I have goat milk again and if your freezer is getting low on peas, come see me and I’ll work you out a deal. We can swap them out from my freezer to yours Don’t forget to check the bottom of the soda cans from the outside Pepsi machine to see if you’ve won the raffle. You are a winner if your can has a hand-drawn star on the bottom.

The beef has finally been picked up! We are preparing packages today and tomorrow. I would like to start setting pick-up appointments beginning Thursday. Please message me with a 1-hour window of a time you could pick up your package between 10am and 6pm. I will respond with an exact appointment time as confirmation. After all appointments have been set for Thursday , we will begin setting appointments for Friday.

Our water is frozen up at the store today. Without a bathroom to use I won’t be able to open today. Y’all stay warm!

Since the roads are so hazardous with ice, I don’t expect y’all to be out and about. So I’ll just stay home today. Let’s see what happens for tomorrow and I’ll update y’all. Message me via Facebook if you need anything. Hugs ❤

I spoke with the butcher today. They said they’ll be able to get it cut up and packaged this week. No specific day has been scheduled but you should be prepared to pick it up by end of this week and/or the beginning of next week.
