Turkey week.
Good ol’ turkey week.
We raise, harvest, sort and invoice for these birds once a year.
The shift from farmers market madness to meat drop mode seems sudden, yet we are prepared.
The office is full of paperwork from one table to the next.
Fingers are hitting keyboards, creating a white noise into nightfall.
We are eager to serve every customer.
Our hearts are as full as our minds.
It’s turkey week.
We are grateful.
A viral video from the McDonald’s CEO sparked a bigger question about the way we think about food. In this post, Renee, both a farmer and a parent, reflects on the pull of convenience, the nostalgia of fast food, and the real cost behind those quick meals.

Winter passes, and spring is eternal.
During the winter months, we stay connected through our Meat Drops. What started with a notepad and a rotary phone looks a little different these days, but every order reminder still takes us back to the early days. This is a small look at how that winter rhythm began, and why, all these years later, it still matters to us.
