Hello from the Alger Family,
Thank you for your past business. Our family of ten looks forward to serving your needs for healthy and wholesome meats, eggs & bread again this year.
We currently offer pasture raised chickens, turkeys & eggs, grass fed & finished lamb & beef and freshly made whole wheat bread. We have also started to sell home made all natural soaps.
Something new for this year, the feed ration for our chickens and turkeys will be 100% certified organic! We are thrilled to be able to offer this to you and at no increased price over last October unless the feed costs go up between now and March.
The animals always have access to fresh air, sunshine, and pasture. Our lambs and calves are not weaned early as they are on most farms. That way they are able to nurse as well as get plenty of green grass and other plants to eat. They are never fed any grain. Grass finished meats have been shown to be much higher in necessary Omega 3 fatty acids. We never spray herbicides, pesticides or any other chemicals on our pastures, nor do we use chemical wormers. Our cows and sheep do get a high-quality mineral supplement for their good health. This makes our animals healthier and will make a more delicious, nutritious meal for you.
As a courtesy to you, we will butcher your chickens and turkeys here at the farm and you pick them up the same day, unless you would prefer them live (if you do, let us know). The lambs and beeves will be done at a custom butcher to your specifications. Bread and eggs are available year round. Bread must be ordered in advance and call ahead to make sure we have eggs. We look forward to providing you with healthy, natural food.
At this time, we are planning six chicken and one turkey butcher days. We will be able to maintain last October’s price at this time as long as feed prices do not rise between now and March when we actually purchase the feed. If feed prices escalate later this year, we may have to increase our prices as well. Please know that we will always do our best to keep any price increase minimal if needed. We sold out early last year. We are not increasing the number of birds we are raising this year and do anticipate an early sell out again, so make sure you reserve your chickens & turkeys early so that you will not be disappointed.
If you have any questions that are not answered here, please feel free to contact us by phone or visit our web site at: http://www.algerfamilyfarm.com .
If you want healthy food instead of factory produced food, you have found it. You are always welcome at our farm to meet us and see how we raise our animals, the old-fashioned healthy way.
Sincerely,
The Alger Family
