Do you scratch your head which it comes to deciding which roast would be most appropriate? Have you stuck to the same familiar roast - reluctant to adventured into an unknown, mystery cut? If so, we put together our Roast Guide to help put your mind at ease as to which cuts will best suit your family’s needs and pallets.
December 24th, the eve of the Sacred Birth, kicked off the beginning of an ancient tradition. This was the time in the course of the annual cycle to drop into deep contemplation and meditation on our soul’s journey to the earthly plane. Humans would ask questions like:
We’ve spent this year sharing with you about our farms and our farming practices. We have spotlighted our 100% Grass Fed Beef, our Pastured Pigs, Chickens, and Turkeys. We have toured our Pastures and brought you with us through our Haylage-Making process where we grow our grasses, herbs, and clovers to feed and raise our clean and healthy animals. We shared with you the rich health benefits of our Organ Meats. We've answered many questions about our protocols and processes and created our FAQ page to capture these Q&A's for others to read. We cut the ribbons on two new farm stores in 2023.We will finish out the year, highlighting our star player, our heavy-weight champion, our team anchor, and very popular product...
What do we do when it's deer hunting season? When hunting local, we wake up real early, usually around 3 am. We do the milking. We feed the calves, pigs, horses, and dogs. We move the portable fence, so the cows and heifers have fresh pasture for the day and try to be in the woods before dawn. Although it can be challenging to find the time to hunt, it is very relaxing to sit out in God’s creation and watch nature.
I hope you got what you needed, turkeys and all for your Thanksgiving meal. We will not be shipping next week to avoid any delivery overwhelm or challenges and give UPS and ourselves a break. Any orders placed this week or next week will be packaged and shipped on November 27th.
First, and for most, I want to thank you for your patience and understanding while Simply Grassfed focused our energy on sponsoring the 2023 Weston A. Price Wise Traditions Conference.
Our Simply Grassfed farm store is open for business in Paradise, PA 10 miles east of Lancaster, just an hour from Philly, and an hour and a half from Baltimore. Get away to the country for an afternoon, avoid shipping costs, and pick up your meats and cheeses at the store for less.
At Burke’s Garden Farm, we have worked hard to pasture raise some of the finest quality birds for your holiday feast. And, we have Soy-Free options too!! Our turkeys are a traditional "white" breed not the brown ones you see grazing on your front lawn. We raise ours to mimic their wild habitat with 10-acres of lush high-altitude chemical free grasses and legumes to munch as they run wild, pecking at bugs, grubs, and seeds.
One of the best ways to prepare for your family's meat needs is to stock up in the fall when there is an abundance of meat and freeze it for your meals for the year to come. For those that are doing this for the first time, you will have some questions to ask. We will walk you through the process here, so it will be simple. What is the best type of freezer?
All of our pigs are free of antibiotics, hormones, vaccines, and GMOs. We don’t buy in pigs as we breed them ourselves on the farm so we have several generations of chemical free, GMO-free pig stock and we keep getting cleaner each generation. We’ve created our own Burke’s Garden Farm breed from a variety of standard breeds that have adapted to our pastures and feeding routines. They are hardy, fat and happy!

It’s harvest time in Paradise. Last week we began picking tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet corn, pickle cukes, zucchini, red beets, and carrots. Watermelon will be ready soon. It’s time for the last planting of green beans and cold weather crops - cabbage, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and brussels sprouts. We are also planting some diverse cover crops soon- oats, Sudan grass, daikon radish, and turnips.
