Welcome our new sweetheart into the world. The mothers name is Neri, she is Toggenburg. Her second time kidding gave us a precious little girl we named Ivy.

BEEF CUSTOMER UPDATE: I have packages ready to go for these next folks in the order they reserved their meat. Lynn GrayLaurie FisherAnna RaineyJulie TurnerThe store is NOT open today or tomorrow but I would still like to get y’all your meat so we can enjoy our Christmas holiday without that errand to run. Please contact me asap and I’ll meet you at the store today or tomorrow.

It’s Goat meat time of year on the farm y’all. Anyone interested or if you know anyone interested, please have them contact me. Here are the details: We have chevon for $3 pound live weight. Cabrito for $3.60 a pound live weight. We transport to a state-inspected butcher for free. You’ll pay processing and packaging costs to cover the butcher’s costs, which I believe is a minimum of $80 or .80 cents a pound whichever is greater. We pick up from butcher for you for free. You’ll meet us in Senatobia to pick up your meat package. 20% estimated total deposit required. Pay remaining balance due at time of pick up. Card transactions are charged additional fees through Square card services. #Cabrito #Senatobia #GOAT #chevon #butcher

We finally got a partial Pepsi product order in. I know so many other stores are experiencing the same shortages and delays as well. Trying to be patient though So I was able to restock the outside and inside drink coolers. We have Pepsi, coke, Mountain Dew, sprite, Diet Pepsi, Dr Pepper, Rockstar energy drinks, sweet leaf tea, Gatorade, cold water, 7-up, Starbucks, some fruit juices and a whole lot more variety is coming with the next order. Hubby wants to do something fun with our outside Pepsi machine. This week I’m going to mark the bottom of 5 random drink cans to win a prize in store. If you see a STAR on the bottom, come see me for your prize. I’m not giving any clues what the prizes could be either! Use your imagination. Lol

BEEF UPDATE:

We did get the beef taken to the butcher right on schedule on 12/8 so be prepared with your freezer space and any remainder payments due. We will set appointments up for y’all to pick up your package just like we always do. I’ll update y’all again soon (usually it’s ready about 2 weeks from butcher date) when I know more! I still have packages available for the pork as well. Msg me for details.

BEEF CUSTOMER UPDATE:

A reminder for those with current orders pending…

Our next butcher date is 12/8/21.

If you’ve already paid your deposit, your package will be made available to you in the order the deposits were paid. Please remember that some of the later deposits that have been paid, will not be included in this go around but will be served first in the January butcher schedule.

Once we take the beef to the butcher there is a 10-14 day wait period for processing and proper aging. Believe me, you do not want to rush the aging process. Your meat will taste much better the longer we let the butcher age it.

I will keep y’all updated regularly so you’ll have time to be prepared. Please make sure to have the remainder due paid on time. Also, take note that we are in our winter store hours schedule from now until about the end of February. The store is only open Friday and Saturday 10-3.
