Bulk Meat Purchase Summer 2011
This bulk meat purchase will be slightly different than those from the past. Rather than buying a whole hog and dividing the meat into shares, we'll be purchasing a "Farmer's Choice Box" that includes many of the value-added, specialty products that are difficult to include in the typical bulk share due to additional processing time required.
In short, the Box will include around 30 pounds of pork for $130. This is just over $4 per pound, which is a great deal! Items in the box will include: smoked ham steaks, suburban ham, breakfast sausage, breakfast sausage patties, Italian sausages, chorizo, Polish sausages, Andouille, bologna, hotdogs, ground pork, fresh bacon, smoked seasoning pieces and bone-in porkchops. The porkchops will come from Bame Farms (Salisbury) while the rest of the box will come from Wild Turkey Farm (China Grove).
Bulk Meat Purchase Fall 2011
Bread Riot is coordinating a bulk beef purchase from Circle D Farm in China Grove. By purchasing a whole steer and dividing it into shares, we can secure a discounted price for local meat. Shares will be 40-50 lbs each and cost $5 per lb. Each share will include Tenderloin, NY Strip, Ribeye, Sirloin, Sirloin Tips, Stew Beef, Roast and Ground Beef. All products are labeled, vacuum sealed and frozen. There are a limited number of shares available. To learn more about Circle D and their beef visit www.circledbeef.com.
2010 Winter Harvest Wrap Up
Our “Winter Harvest” program wrapped up with our last delivery on March 12th. Many thanks to all the volunteers who picked up local products from our agricultural partners, sorted the items, and boxed the goodies into participant's basket.
Winter Harvest allows local farmers to provide Rowan County consumers with a source of produce, meats, dairy and other items through the winter months. The harsh winter this year hurt normally reliable cold-weather greens, but the occasional lack of fresh produce was made up with fresh whole wheat bread, butter, ice cream, cheeses, sausage, flour, and other items.
