Friday Farm Fences

A blast from this past winter.... just a few short months ago.....

A local hillside barn in the fog with its guardian tree providing shade in the summer and some woody character in the winter.



The farmer here raises Devon beef and lamb.

I picked up my reserved lamb here in December.

I love knowing the farmer who raises my food and seeing where and how the food is raised.

There are no bar codes on fresh food.



 I also received lamb hearts, tongue, kidneys, liver and necks for my famous cattle dog, Mavis.

The kidneys also make delicious Shepherds' pie.

I had to order the lamb a year in advance.    Well worth it.

Where are you buying your meat these days?

  1. We have a freezer full (well,not exactly full anymore!) of our own beef. It's so nice to not have to buy it at the store, and to know where it comes from!

  2. I agree, I also like knowing where my meat is coming from, really food in general. We buy from a local farmer in our town and also shop at various Farmer's markets...Have a good weekend...

  5. We get our beef from friends who grass feed them locally. The taste is so much better. Thanks for joining us at the Let's Get Social Sunday party. Have a wonderful week!
