Special Farmer's Market for Thanksgiving

There is one last farmer's market day of the season. It is a special one just for farm-fresh food for your Thanksgiving feast. We will be at the Sagamore West market Wednesday, November 23, 2011, from 3:00-5:30 pm. Read about it here. If you have pre-ordered turkey from us, we will have it thawed for you. For those of you who have never purchased from our farm before, we look forward to meeting you! It is always a pleasure serving friends. Just look for the booth with the Double M Farms banner on the table.

In case any are interested, we also will have pork products with us for sale. If you have any special orders for pork, call us or email, and we will make sure we have your order ready.

Remember that Thanksgiving is about giving thanks to God who has blessed us with more blessings than we can count. Let's live our lives in thankfulness every day!

Fall/Thanksgiving Special

Historically people would slaughter pigs in the fall and winter time. Now is the time to fill your freezer with winter pork. To give you added benefit in stocking your freezer, we are running a promotion for a limited time. If you purchase a half hog, we will give you a whole chicken (value approx. $20.00). Purchase a whole hog and we'll give you your choice of a turkey or 3 whole chickens (value $60.00-65.00). Click here for our price list. Consider buying a whole hog with a friend. If you do that, you can both save on price/pound. We'll leave it up to you to divide the turkey or chicken. =) Any who choose a turkey will be able to get it before Thanksgiving.

There is a limited availability of both products. This offer ends Monday, November 21, 2011. Act now to insure that you get your order in before we sell out.

What do we do?

Our homestead has evolved throughout the over years. Having both came from conventional farming operations we had a love for agriculture but was challenged by the many practices that we felt was breaking down the family farm and the food quality. We saw too much sickness in our family and others. I saw how much agriculture had become a monopoly and corrupt! Agri-business's & the USDA no longer really interested in the well-being of the people or the land. I guess you could say....we started to think and ask questions! It has been a process, we first started out with a goal of providing healthy, nutritious food for our own family. We were able to use the principles taught from our fathers and history along with new ideas that aligned with our personal family values for stewardship, accountability and personal responsibility. Along the way we have learnt so much, mostly by failing. But that is normally the most effective teacher! We continue to live on our Indiana homestead, utilizing the resources entrusted to us in the best way possible and adapting to the ever changing culture we find ourselves living in today. Our family spends most of the year teaching others about the lessons we have learned along the way. Join us on the journey, it is a thrilling adventure!
