July News

Dear Real Food Lovers,

What an incredible month this has been!  I have been selling at the Polk County and Gateway Farmer's Markets since June 10.  I have met all of you wonderful local, real food lovers.  You have been quite an inspiration to us as we begin this endeavor.  Believe me, we need that at 4:00 a.m. and 10:00p.m. when we are still working!  Whew!  But, I do know this will only last a season.  There is a time for everything, ours is the time for labor now.  And you precious folks have made it worthwhile!!  Thank you for your encouraging words, precious smiles and feedback of our products. 

I will not be able to be in Texarkana this week, July 10 and 12.  I will be in Mena on the 8th.  We will be back on schedule for Texarkana, July 17th. 

I still have the grassfed ground beef.  So many of you are interested in the pork, lamb, goat and beef.  The pork, lamb and a small amount of goat will be available in September.  Next month's newsletter will have more specific dates.  Limited cuts of grassfed and finished beef should be ready in October. 

Many people wonder why we do not have readily available beef, pork or lamb.  I would like to explain a little.  We are a closed farm.  We do not buy off farm animals.  We raise and graze all of them ourselves.  This isn't a large industrial farm where production is the bottom line.  We are small and local and determined to put quality before anything else.  So this may mean a limited supply of beef or pork at a given time.  Please be patient with us as we grow and learn better to serve you. 

It is likely I will not be at the markets in August at all due to selling out of the ground beef, (if things continue at the pace they have been)  so I will look forward, as you do, to September.  AHHH, I do love Fall!!!!!!

Thank you for blessing our summer thus far!!!  Enjoy!! 

The Youngblood's, Andy, Tracy, Ben and Matti
