Can I pick up from the farm?
-NO. The farm is in rural area, without city amenities like a paved road, public water, cable or ample access to lots of power. We can not store freezers and fridges full of meats with our low power resources. Once we take animals to butcher they are sent down fresh every week to our distribution center in
San Diego.

A few ways we practice what we preach:
-No wasted paper! Flyers/brochures are so early 2000's! Our mobile/tablet and desktop friendly website gives all the information without cutting any unnecessary trees!
-We recycle egg cartons! Return your old dozen cases at one of our multiple market locations.
-Local farmers/co-ops/breweries give us yummy damaged fruits/veggies/oats to repurpose back to our pigs & chickens!

Are you certified organic?
-Although not "certified" we practice clean growing methods, keeping animal health and welfare in perspective: we believe that "a happy animal is a tasty animal!" Once you try our meats and eggs you'll be glad you did, and find that taste makes the difference!
