Introducing " Bundles"

Hi all,
   We are certainly enjoying the cooler weather that is moving in! Our county, Shenandoah County, is currently enjoying the fair and we have been down there every day serving up hamburgers, pulled pork and chicken. If you get a chance you should stop by and see us!

Many of you have been asking about bulk meat for the fall and we appreciate your patience. We've noticed a problem in the last few years with selling animals by the whole, half or quarter. For the sale to be legal the price is based of the hanging weight and what you actually take home is is different based on cutting and other things. This was generally causing confusion and just wasn't working to well. This is leading us to a change.

"BUNDLES"
    Hopefully this will simplify things! Check out this link for a PDF. Bundle ordering sheet
We have several different bundles for each of the animals we raise, Beef, Pork and Chicken. There are bundles geared for the grillers out there and bundles for the roasters. For the folks who love a little of everything there is a mixed bundle. These are offered at significant savings off our regular individual cut prices and the best part is you know exactly what you are getting!
