The most common questions I get are:
1. Is your grass-fed beef grass finished as well?
Answer- Yes it is. Our beef and lamb gets certified organic grass every single day since they started eating solid foods.
And I know this because we do not buy from other farmers and resell. Our family raises all our animals.
2. Do you butcher your own animals?
Answer- No. We are farmers, not butchers. I am trying to get a grandchild to go into the butchery field, but no one's biting.....YET..Only 3 of the 12 have graduated so there is hope🤞
That would be so great. We could charge a lot less for our product. 1/3 of what we charge goes to the butcher.
3. Do you sell your products anywhere but the Saskatoon Farmers Market at 2600 Koyl avenue?
Answer- Yes we have an online store. It isn't as fully stocked as our Farmers Market Freezers. But I try to keep essentials there.
Also we have a stocked farm store here as well. You are all welcome anytime..You just have to call ahead to make sure Im able to greet you .
4. Do you deliver.
Answer - Yes we offer free delivery to the Farmers Market for pickup. And we offer home delivery for a delivery fee.
5. Do you sell bulk beef or pork or lamb.
Answer; yes and no. We sell 1/4, 1/2, and whole beef. in limited quantities, usually in the fall and winter months
We sell 1/2 pork year round. And we do not sell bulk lamb.
6. What breeds are your animals. and why
Answer; We raise Galloway beef. Galloway genetics originated in Scotland Highlands. There they grazed only on grass because they sometimes didn't see humans for days or weeks.They are genetically predisposed to finish wonderfully on grass. Some bigger more well-known breeds will never "finish" on grass, because they were never meant to and never evolved that way. They just get bigger..
Our pork breed is Berkshire. Why ? Because they have an amazingly sweet flavour and a buttery healthy fat that increases the flavour of the meat. Berkshire pigs are a quiet, playful and friendly breed. That is important because we have kids around all the time. Berkshire Pigs are the best breed to raise in a pasture setting. That is as close to their natural habitat as we can get here on the prairies. That is where they are the happiest. And we all know ... HAPPY PIGS are TASTY PIGS.
Our lamb is a mix, we are trying to get to a 50% Clun Forest and 50% Dorset or Hampshire. We feel that is the most desirable quality carcass, and they are pretty nice to work with.
Those are the 6 most asked questions , but if you have any questions not answered yet feel free to respond to this email or and I will gladly answer them all.
