Local Meat
It's hard to tell if people buy local beef because there is less meat in the supermarkets; or because they are appalled by the news stories coming out of Midwestern meat-packing plants; or because they want to support farmers. Whichever is true, I'm hoping that once they taste the incredible flavor of locally raised beef, they'll never go back to factory-farmed meat.
Beef Realities
Please stop in the store only on Fridays (10 a.m. to 5 p.m.) or Saturdays (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.) as we restock our shelves. Thanks for your patience. We are doing our best to meet your needs during this stressful time.

There's nothing better than finding a healthy newborn calf in the pasture. If you can't make it to the farm to see these bundles of joy, stop by the Audubon pasture on Silk Farm Road in Concord to see 10 of our Scottish Highlander cattle.
