It has happened. You can find Kingbird Farm on Facebook. Karma will be posting photos there and some updates. Continue to come to our website to learn about our farm, upto date pricelists, brochures, articles, etc. Facebook will solely be used as an easy place for Karma to place photos and updates. The website is staying right here and will continue to be updated! (As someone (yes Michael is the webmaster) who is not on facebook I don't really know what this means but I am supposed to tell you to "like" us!)
Above are some of our new guinea hogs that were just born. This is a side project we are working on with a breed that has the potential to get more of it's diet from forage and vegetables versus a high proportion of grain.
We are very happy to announce that Kingbird Farm is now Animal Welfare Approved (AWA) for our pork, beef, and eggs. In 2012 we will completing the audits and inspections to qualify the rest of our meat offerings (duck and chicken). Animal Welfare offers the highest animal welfare standards. Their standards go well beyond what is required of our organic certifications standards and other welfare organizations. Find them at http://www.animalwelfareapproved.org/ for more information.
Our 2012 brochures (farm, plant, and meat) are all updated. We have added a Frequently Asked Questions page. As time allows we'll continue to post our responses there
The Ithaca Farmers Market has started and you can find us there evey Saturday till Christmas. We continue have a good selection of meat.. That includes all our cuts of pork and beef, smoked products like bacon, and several tasty sauages. Pork sausages include breakfast, mild italian, hot italan, fresh chorizo, fresh andouille, and HOT DOGS. We also have beef Chorizo and German Summer sausage (beef and pork). And we still have a good selection of chickens. Check out our meat price and availability list.
Although we have the "normal" variety like steaks and sauasage, don't forget everything else we have. Beef shanks are meaty and great for soup or stews. Leaner beef roasts like london broil are great for slow cooking. If you just got a deer and are making sausage get some of our pork fat for combining with the lean venison. And don't forget our mature stew hens for a thick rich slow cooked soup. We also have stew roosters that are good for soup or a high moisture cook.
