@muckfansanto Yes, price includes processing and packaging cost (vacuum sealed & flash frozen). We’ve bought a half from the same farmer for several years now and always very happy with the quality. Compared to what I’d pay for comparable 🐄 by the cut in stores here we are getting a steal!
Curious about the going rate for grass-fed and finished half 🐄 share (freezer beef) in other areas.
We just put our deposit down. Here a half has gone up over $300 since 2020. Price now is just shy of $2k😣
It's not yet illegal to notice, but it is 23 years too late.
(It's challenging to get 23 years of lost-freedom back, and to roll back the surveillance and right-restrictions, Patriot Act, et al)
@ladystormbreak1 Wow, I’m envious. I’ve seen quarters & halves being sold here, in S.E. PA, for $11-$13 /lb, with farmers selling out. PA has some of the highest overall food inflation on food in the US. Grain and hay prices here are no joke either. Feed costs for our poultry have skyrocketed
@foolishly@AmberLakeFarm Unless she’s taking roids lol
I made hay, just once, yrs ago…on a 95 degree day. The bale kicker broke halfway through and by the end of the day I couldn’t lift a square bale 2 ft off the ground. Never been so hot, sore, and itchy before or since. God bless the haymakers!
@AmberLakeFarm Ours haven’t done much yet this year—it’s been cold and wet all spring. I am trying to remain hopeful though, elderflower champagne is one of my favorites 🤞
@genXgardner You sure it’s not her Preening glad (Uropygial gland)? The gland is a bump, located near the base of the tail. You probably notice it now because she’s broody and her feathers are all ruffled up as a result.
