We go to a local bar and play trivia with friends every now and then. I like the craft beer and crispy fried cauliflower. And Greg is remarkably good at recalling random facts (especially if they’re STEM related) and occasionally helps bring our team to victory.
A few months ago, we were in the midst of a game and a guy walked in and sat down near our group. Within a few seconds, he looked over at Greg and said “Hey! You’re the pork guy!”
I smiled and looked to Greg, wondering how he would respond to being recognized in this way. To my complete and utter delight, he totally embraced it. “Yep, that’s me!” He said. “I’m the pork guy,” and then reached out his hand to give his bar-mate a hand shake.
Pork is sort of our thing. But in reality, it’s only one of our things because over the summertime, we also sell a lot of chicken.
Now, here’s the funny thing that I have to confess about my experience with eating chicken: I’m no expert. In fact, I was a vegetarian for a very long time before we started our farm and I only eat meat that we raise. So, if I exclude the many chickens I’ve eaten from our farm, I could say that I haven’t eaten chicken since I was a teenager. Not even a bite.
So with that being said, you might not believe me when I say this…. but, our chicken tastes so dang good and I know why. The same incredibly high bar we set for our pork, we also set for our chicken. This means that our chickens are really, truly, absolutely pasture-raised. They’re also certified organic so I never have to worry about them being harmful to my body. And because they’re butchered on the farm by Greg and me (and are never brought to a processing plant), they’re always clean and well-packaged and ready to bring into our kitchen.
If you can believe it, we’re just a week away from our first chicken harvest of 2019. So, we thought it was the perfect moment to share the news. Greg is still your Pork Guy and he plans be for years and years to come! He says that you have his full permission to call him that, even if you bump into him in a bar. And, if you’re interested he can also be your Chicken Guy….
Your Farmers,
Jenney and Greg
