General FAQ
Q.
Greetings, Helen!
I have several questions for you, if I may...
Are your eggs available all year round?
When will your chickens & turkeys be available?
I love your lamb & where there is lamb there is (hopefully) mutton. I lived for 10 years in Northern Arizona, in the wilds of Flagstaff. With the Navaho & Hopi reservations so close by there was always plentiful mutton available and I developed a taste for it. Do you ever slaughter older sheep? I would love to buy some stew meat for fall & winter.
Also, when I finish with the ranch dressing [i.e. buttermilk dressing] (which is REALLY tasty, by the by), would you like me to rinse/wash the jar & lid and return them to you so you can re-use them?
I love your site and reading about your dear family. Good luck with your wonderful produce stand!
Thanks for everything!

Hello Laurel,
Eggs are available all year round; more abundant in winter than summer and usually a little cheaper in winter.
We will have turkeys starting in September and until Thanksgiving. After Thanksgiving they are frozen; before, fresh.
We do chickens up three times each summer. We will be doing our first batch in about 2-3 weeks. People usually reserve ahead of time. We call those who have reserved and then they come and pick them up same day as butchering. They weigh between 4 and 6 pounds or so.
We do up the lambs each fall, done professionally by our butcher. We haven't done up any older sheep. The lambs are about 6 months old when we do them up. That is all we have available at this time.
We would love to have the jars returned; it is a great way to recycle!
Blessings,
Helen
More coming soon..........
