Our Offerings
Grass-fed Beef
No antibiotics, no added hormones, and no abusive treatment. Learn more about our selected breed!
Read MoreWhat we offer is 80 years behind the times. It is the strangest of circumstances. We are falling further behind, yet we are way ahead of the curve. We don't even begin to measure up, yet the nutritional and benefit numbers are on our side.
We work hard, very hard, to not get sucked in to today's beef and pork production mistakes. We are not on the cutting edge by any stretch of the imagination . We are working overtime to be at least 80 years behind today's new frontier technologies when it comes to beef, pork and lamb production. And we are absolutely elated to be way back here. We know all too well and most likely you do too, that when it comes to our food supply in America, "Those that live by the cutting edge will die by the cutting edge". Contemporary beef, pork and lamb cutting edge technologies are helping to cut life short for many.

Pastured Pork
Nothing beats pastured pork with non-GMO supplements. Purebred Hereford hogs are our favorites. Tastes so good!
Read MoreEarly on we decided we didn't want our chickens to oink or our pigs to lay eggs. Consequently our pork is not the other white meat, as the commercial pork industry likes to say. It tastes and looks like pork should taste and look. It is a big step up from commercial confinement pork's taste and look. No added hormones and no antibiotics combined with a non-GMO supplemented diet and it surpasses the negatively affected drug-induced, rationed University-created science diets that are being deemed as harmful, counterproductive along with nitrates, artificial lighting and grated floors for easy cleanup. We don't even have to give our hogs their "coping meds" to help them endure the hellish atmosphere of the hog warehouses.

Grass-fed Lamb
We produce a very mild lamb. They are always on grass or fed our mown hay in the winter.
Read MoreThere is great nutritional value available in many animals correctly raised, fed and prepared. The same goes for flavor and a pleasant dining experience. Sheep are not an exception to this but rather a great example. University created, USDA accepted animal growth manipulation exercises are the great exception. In the United States, the goal of production volume has replaced the goal of product quality. Many producers who are considered "smart" by the masses fall in line to enact the University findings and procedural practices they have created.
Quality, nutritional lamb products are part of a natural progression for us here at Attadale Farm. We began with beef, added pork and now have included lamb in the mix. We admit that nutrition is our primary goal, not volume, flavor or dining experience. Not even price or income. Today it is price that is killing the consumer. We feel fortunate that we do not have to choose between nutrition and quality in all our meat products because nutrition means great taste.
If you choose to depart the bland, unhealthy cycle of participating in the American diet to which most tastebuds have become accustomed, a fabulous future awaits.

Pure Raw Honey
Never treated or “protected” with chemicals or pesticides. Just pure, raw honey.
Read MorePollination is paramount. We appreciate our bee's busy assistance and we also appreciate the honey they leave for you and me. Busy throughout the season, as various flower species bloom, we all benefit from the wonderful subtleties in flavors they add to their clover honey base. Local allergy sufferers benefit from our honey as well.
It's a rough world today for honey bees with all the pests and outside spray and treatment applications going on. Unfortunately for honey consumers, it is quicker and easier for the bee keeper to deal with these issues with chemical treatments.
Of great importance is the fact that we do not use any chemicals or pesticides to assist our bees in their ongoing fight for survival. We employ mechanical and natural measures to keep our colonies healthy. How about your current honey supplier? You might ask.

Read MoreOur chickens are pasture-raised, passing that on to you in their beautiful, golden-yolked eggs.

Bulk Meat FAQs
-
Hanging weight, or dressed weight, is the weight of the cow hanging in halves in the cold locker just before it is cut according to your selections. This is not the live weight of the cow or the packaged weight.
Hanging weight is roughly 60% of the live weight. Each cow has a different weight, but if a live cow weighs 1000lbs and dresses at 60%, the whole hanging weight would be aboiut 600 lbs. The 1/2 would be 300 lbs and the 1/4 would be 150 lbs.
And because you may want your steaks or cuts boneless, or do not want soup or broth bones, or don't want ribs, the actual packaged weight of your beef will be less than the hanging weight.

Split means selections from the front and back of the cow.
