We'll let you know when we have something for sale. 100% Grass Fed Dexter beef should be our next animal to harvest. We are also raising a Belted Galloway steer that should be ready next fall. The Galloway will provide us with much more meat to market and both steers are heritage breeds that we're excited to support and expect to do well on pasture. We will have more Red Wattle pork next fall. If you want it bad enough, I'm sure we can find a way to ship it. Everyone, remember to email chris@franciscanfamilyfarms.com to get on our email list for available food. We will be expanding our very small flock of chickens this summer and will have eggs and maybe even a little meat! Thanks Michelle.

I am a meat eater, in the right circumstances, also is our family. I want to know more about your heritage animals- of any sort - beef, chicken, pork -and be on your email list so I can order early, before you are sold out. I realize that I am a oregonian and that means shipping, but I think we can work it out. Yes, I want to support your farm and your plans to raise healthy and happy animals.

At least 1/2 hog will be kept for the family to eat/taste test, and we will probably have 3 halves for sale in mid to late fall. At least one person has already said that she wants to buy some so we could add you to the list and see what we have available when butcher time comes. As far as beef goes, we don't expect to have any until late spring or maybe even next fall. Even at that time we will only have one steer. Beef, especially grass fed, is a slow process and we're looking at ways to possibly have more available in the next year or two, like possibly buying a few weaned steers from another Dexter breeder. Thanks so much for your interest and if you'd like to be added to the list, send your information to steven@franciscanfamilyfarms.com Out of these 3 hogs that we currently have, we’re probably keeping the one female for breeding so we will be butchering two barrows.
