Green Eggs & Ham
|
The "Green Egg" Part...
There are approximately 100 laying chickens at the ranch. Chickens free range during the day and are kept in the coop at night. We feed a non GMO soy free feed as well as clabber. Eggs are available @ the ranch by appointment. $6 per dozen. In addition to "green" eggs, your dozen may also have white, chocolate colored, and light brown eggs. We will let ya know when we find a hen that can lay golden eggs. :) The "Ham" Part... Pastured, organic feed and milk fed, heritage breed (Berkshire) pigs. NO GMOs, NO added hormones, NO antibiotic feed, NO small confinement. How does it work? Your $100 non- refundable deposit allows us to purchase a pig just for you. We then raise the pig on our ranch until it is time to take it to the butcher. At that time we will collect our final payment from you and transport your pig to the processor in Muenster, Texas. You will work directly with the butcher to select the cuts and packaging for your pig. You will be financially responsible for your processing expenses. You pay us for the pig and the processor for the processing. Costs and Cuts- Costs vary season to season. Below is our estimated cost/ expenses-
