‘Round the Farm
The ol’ James River broke the banks. The fence is about 5’ high for reference.
The snow started earlier than expected so Steve got a dusting, thankfully the little guy is well insulated ❄️
This poor bush is about done with this crazy weather 🥶
Mr. Feyerherd is excited to announce that pork is back in stock! 🥓 (almost, just a bit more to inventory)
Raising Prices to Keep Raising Pasture-Raised Pork
We wanted to take a moment to share an update about our pork prices and, more importantly, to say thank you for supporting our farm.
We know that price increases are never welcome news, and we usually try to give our customers a window before making any changes.
However, this time, we found ourselves in a position where we had to adjust prices immediately in order to keep the farm sustainable.
Like everyone, we’ve been feeling the strain of rising costs. I hate parroting that phrase, but it’s a reality of any business these days.
Over the last three years, our processing expenses have nearly doubled. Unfortunately, we are beholden to these processors as it’s a legal requirement in order to sell our meat.
Then there is also the cost of feed, infrastructure (and repairs), and the pigs themselves. There is also hidden costs such as insurance, electricity / freezers, credit card / payment processor fees.
I’m also partly responsible as I should have been incrementally increasing prices to keep up with the costs.
All that is to say, to keep our farm running / sustainable, we’ve had to adjust prices on some of our pork products immediately.
We’ve worked hard to keep the increases minimal on staples like sausage and roasts, while most of the larger adjustments are on more premium cuts.
Our goal is to ensure that you can continue to enjoy farm-fresh, pasture-raised meat and that we can continue to produce it.
We truly appreciate your understanding and continued support. Farming isn’t just our business—it’s our way of life. And knowing that we have a community that values what we do makes all the difference.
If you ever have any questions or thoughts, we’d love to hear from you. Thanks again for being part of our family!
With gratitude,
Jason & Lexi
