HAY SEASON
Our second crop of hay is cut, raked, baled & hauled off the fields. It was tricky figuring out the timing of it all this year as July has been wet and cooler than usual. All of our hard work is rewarded with beautiful scenes like this:


BULK ORDERS
Our next bulk orders will be available AUGUST 20 & 22. Deposits are due Saturday, August 1! Corriente & Angus beef, pork, and Alaskan Salmon are all currently available. Do you want to try our meat before you make a big purchase? Stop by our farm store this weekend and pick up some separate cuts.

NON-GMO UTAH SWEET CORN!
Our delicious corn is so close to being ready! We should have it available within the next couple of weeks. We don't spray with herbicides or pesticides & the crop is completely free of GMOs.


FEEDING SPROUTS & WATER CONSERVATION
With the concern over our current water supply in Utah we are utilizing our greenhouses more and more. Growing sprouts uses less than 3% of the amount of water required for standard forage production. We would love to have more open, green pastures for our animals to graze on right now, but the sprouts still give them phenomenal feed and they have space to roam without using more of our precious natural resources.
