Hi Kandice,

Thank you SO much for your prayers! Our God is bigger than the USDA, thanks for the reminder.

Thanks Mitch, we really appreciate the help as well as the link. We have heard of the FTCLDF and are thinking of becoming members ourselves. Tri-Town was reopened after three days, just updated our blog!

We hope we were able to get some beef to your brother! Thanks again!

I hope they reopened for you and for your customers! The government agencies have been running amok for a long time and it’s getting worse. I hope you’re members of the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund. Perhaps if Tri-Town is a member, FTCLDF can help them out? (If they aren’t already helping.) http://www.farmtoconsumer.org/

Any update to whether or not your business is capable of moving forward would be greatly appreciated. I couldn’t tell from this post whether this problem fixed itself or not. Are you still without a slaughterhouse?

Best wishes in the government staying out of your business and those businesses that support yours. I hope this gets resolved for all of us. (My brother just inquired about ordering grass-fed beef for very the first time and I literally just told him about this site.)

Sincerely,
Mitch

Praying for you and your processor. My late father owned a business that had to deal with the EPA constantly. H worked tirelessly to make sure he was protecting the enviornment but continually ran into their lack of common sense as well.

Never be afraid. Continue to do right and trust the rest to God. He will make your way.

My parents ground wheat berries and made the most amazing bread, can’t wait to do it ourselves!

The grain would be great. I bake my own bread weekly. I’m thinking of buying a grinder, so your grain would be wonderful.
Blessings,

Dear Kandice,

We have it available year round, some times of the year we have less than others. Fall, Winter and Spring are our bountiful months while Summer is less so. We look forward to helping your stock up!

Do you have beef and pork available year round, should I stock up, or is it too late? Thanks.

Comment on Goat cheese! by Kassandra

So funny! That was my response the first time we did chickens. My sister-in-law thought I was crazy holding these just done chicken up and saying “smell!” They really just smell so fresh and clean. Gotta try to cheese, we had some chive goat cheese melted on a baguette that just about made me swoon…..

Well, this isn’t really about goat cheese, but about the Chickens.
Just wanted to say that the chickens are FANTASTIC! What struck me first, when I had thawed out my chicken, was the smell. There wasn’t any! I, and probably most people, are aware of a distinct chicken-y smell from any poultry we buy at the supermarket, and this chicken was completely smell-free. Like fish when it’s fresh caught, as opposed to 3 days old in the store.
And it was so clean: perfectly plucked, and really clean inside and out.
And so yummy – probably the richest-tasting chicken meat I’ve ever eaten. Makes me’think that what you get at the store, even if it’s ‘free-range’ whatever chicken, must be bred to a standard like, say, Red Delicious Apples: uniform in look, in size, available anywhere in the country and completely indistinguishable from all Red Delicious Apples everywhere.
These chickens are truly outstanding.
So (to get back to the topic I’ve ignored for this comment) is, I’m sure, the Goat Cheese.
Gotta go order some….
