Heritage Turkeys, Berkshire Pork, Freshly Ground Poultry Feed, Veggies About Us poultry feed, heritage turkey, grass-fed lamb, Berkshire pork Browse through our Products for Sale Ingredients We are located 9 miles northeast of West Point, about 90 minutes north of Omaha. My great-great grandfather homesteaded not too far from here, and we were thrilled to move to Nebraska back in 1998 from California to raise our family. We love it here! rnrnOur family farm uses mainly organic practices, we raise our livestock on pasture, and the poultry feed we mix ourselves. It is made using organic or transitional non-GMO corn, soy meal and oats. We work with very limited quantities of livestock due to our limited space, but this enables us to give more attention to each group of animals. Practices (our standards for raising or making our products) Poultry Feed: We can custom mix different rations, with the most popular being broiler and layer rations. It's available in 50# bags, or on the farm in bulk. The main ingredients are organic or transitional non-GMO corn, soy meal, and oats; Fertrell Poultry Nutribalancer (vitamins, minerals, kelp meal, probioitcs), feed-grade limestone for calcium, and for higher-protein mixes, fish meal which contains a natural preservative instead of the more common synthetic preservative. Additional Information Try out our very own BERKSHIRE BREAKFAST SAUSAGE, made with our own recipe that we've honed over the past few years, using ORGANIC herbs and spices, without any MSG, nitrates or nitrites. Highlights this Month See Producer Questionnaire. Feel free to ask us any additional questions. |

| #275 | Freshly Ground Broiler/Chick Feed Order number of bags. 50# bags of freshly mixed poultry feed that we grind ourselves. Ingredients include organic corn and oats from Butler County, transitional soybean meal, organic Fertrell Nutribalancer, organic Fish meal and natural feed grade limestone for calcium. We also sell in bulk at the farm. We aim for a 19%+ protein level. Due to the bulkiness and weight of the bags, and the increasing demand, we may need to limit the number of bags that can be delivered to places other than Jane's Market in Omaha, where we drop off. The volunteer vehicles used for moving orders around can't handle large quantities of feed bags. |

Grassfed Lamb Halves - Reservation Order number of lamb halves. Exquisite, high-quality "gourmet" lamb. Our favorite product on the farm. Incredibly tender, and a very mild flavor. Extremely limited quantities; available by advance order, and delivered to processor. Delivery will be by mutual arrangement. Next expected lambs will be ready early 2011, we estimate. Contact me and I'm happy to review the many custom meat cutting options available. Processing fee is extra - approx. $30. Meat will be $3/lb based on dressed/hanging weight, which will be around 30#-50# per half. Final cut up meat weight is roughly 1/2 the dressed/hanging weight. Extra charge: $10.00/lamb half |

Berkshire Pork Halves - Advance Reservation Order number of halves. We're taking advance reservations for Berkshire pork halves available FALL 2011. The Berkshire pork we raise is a specialty breed, highly prized by gourmet chefs and overseas markets for its excellent flavor and marbling. We can attest that it really is different - more flavorful and moist than the standard pork that can be purchased from most places. It does NOT compete with chicken for being "the other white meat"! We currently custom-grow the porkers to order, so if you know you'd like to have a 1/2 hog raised for you, we can do it! (It's really a neat accomplishment to raise 1/2 hogs!) We generally have a spring and fall batch that we raise, but will start additional groups if there is interest. We deliver them to a local processor, and you get all sorts of choices for how you'd like to have the meat packaged. We are happy to help with this process, as it can be intimidating the first time you go through it. Just email me if you'd like additional cost estimates. Estimated costs are as follows: 100# dressed/hanging weight @$2.50/lb = $250.00 processing cost - $90-$125 This is highly variable based on what processing options you choose. Some of the higher-cost options include curing bacon and ham, sausage links, brats, etc. Final finished meat weight - est. 70-85# These hogs are raised on pasture with shelter, and are fed organic grains, as well as our farm surplus milk, produce, etc. Price is $2.50/lb. and is based on Dressed/Hanging weight.
