Hello All CSA Members,
Breakaway Farms will host their Open House on Saturday, October 17th beginning after 2pm until dark. Breakaway Farms will be serving their "beyond organic" meat products. Please bring a dish to share, come out & check out the farm. This is a great opportunity to see Breakaway Farms, the animals - cows, pigs, lambs, goats, chickens, rabbits and more. You can see and learn about the organic operation. Nate also has a contract with a major pork supplier as well and you can compare the two. It is wonderful opportunity for you & your family to see a real working farm. Breakaway is located about 60 miles away, exit 266 off the turnpike and then just a few additional miles off the turnpike. Their physical address is 1233 Mastersonville Road, Manheim, PA 17545.
Would you like a fresh turkey for the holidays? If so, you may order a fresh turkey from Breakaway Farms. The cost is $3.50 per pound and you may designate the size of turkey you prefer. The turkeys are available in the following weights:
10 lb to 15 lb
16 lb to 20 lb
21 lb to 25 lb
25 lb and up
The turkey will be available for pickup on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. A $20 deposit is required unless you are a Meat CSA participant. Forms will be available at pickup.
Availablity for the majority of beef products has been in short supply which was not anticipated by anyone including Nate, the farmer. Fortunately for Nate, he has sold the majority of his beef. For our Meat CSA people, with money remaining in your account, your funds will carry over beyond October until your money is spent. The first steer will be sent for slaughter beginning in October. By November, 15 steers are scheduled for slaughter which will allow you to order prime cuts of beef for your holidays.
Enjoy your week,
Sherri
