Introducing the “Shady Deal” – Pasture-Raised Chicken and Pork Shoulder Roast

We thought it would be fun to start doing a monthly special. What more appropriate name than a “Shady Deal” offered by Shady Grove Ranch?

This month (February), the Shady Deal is 5% off the purchase of a soy-free pasture-raised chicken and a soy-free pasture-raised pork shoulder roast. Both of these cuts can be prepared in the crockpot, oven, or on the stove-top. They also both come from monogastric animals that are raised totally outdoors in the sunshine, meaning their body fat is laden with great nutrients such as vitamin A and D and omega-3 fatty acids. Enjoy!

Axl Graff finally arrives!

Many of you have been asking if we’ve had that baby yet, and we can finally say yes!

Axl Graff Cadman arrived on 1/25 (17 days late!), happy, healthy, and weighing 7 lbs 9 oz. He and Momma are doing great, and his big brother, Shevi, is adapting to having a fellow ranch hand around. Thanks for all your prayers. We’re excited to have another cuddly little guy on the farm!

 

Happy new year!

Here at Shady Grove Ranch, we are excited to welcome a new year! We have big plans for 2012 and hope that you will be a part of all the farm fun and good food!

We’ve got lots of exciting new ways to buy, namely 5 new samplers, and 2 new options for purchasing beef and pork in bulk. Also, our updated product and price list is ready and available for download: 2012 January On-Farm Prices and 2012 January Delivery Prices.
