Sale on Beef:  We are currently overstocked with Grass Fed Beef.  We are offering a “Make Room in the Freezer” Sale for 45 pound shares.  Instead of $6.50 per pound it will be $6.00 per pound.  This will be a total savings of over $30 per share.  This will be only while shares last.  

A 45 pound share of beef consists of a variety of cuts.  T-bone, Rib eye and Sirloin steaks, Roasts, Stew meat, and 15 - 20 pounds of prime ground beef.

We also have Grass fed beef by the cut, check out our web site for pricing.

Whole Chickens:  We have a freezer full of fresh whole chickens at only $3.50 per pound.  The chickens run around 5 pounds each.

Raw Milk:  We currently have shares available in our herd of Jersey cows which will enable you to enjoy fresh creamy milk each week.  e-mail us for details and a copy of our contract.

Eggs:  We are enlarging our flock of laying hens, but the young ones are not laying yet.  So for now we only have eggs available to our herd share customers.

Thanksgiving Turkeys:  We are taking reservations for our delicious Thanksgiving Turkeys, raised healthy and naturally right here on Our Father’s Farm pastures.  A $20 deposit will reserve you your very own bird that we will raise, process and clean so it’s all ready for cooking on Thanksgiving day, or freezing for Christmas.  orders@ourfathersfarmva.com 
Delivery:  We now provide delivery to Roanoke and Lynchburg once a week.

Farmers Notes:   We are up and running with a new e-mail news letter service.  We hope to be much more consistent on our e-mails.  Right now you can order by phone, sending us an e-mail or by stopping by the Farm Store.  We sure welcome visits on the farm, especially if you want to join in and help with all the work for a 1/2 day or so.

“Ned, Ted, red…” he recites from chalkboard, following his mother’s lead.

When it’s his sister’s turn, Timmy glances out the window. “The tractor,” a red sitting lawn mower, sits idle in the driveway. Up the hill, his older brothers and sisters are clearing dead tree branches from the cow pasture, and piling them up for a bonfire.

As the lesson winds down, Timmy can barely contain himself.

“Can I go and drive the tractor now?” he blurts out.

It’s not something you hear about everyday- people leaving the big city for the farming life. But one couple and their seven kids did it. They moved to Gretna and started “Our Father’s Farm”. They wanted to be part of the grow local movement.

The Fuhrmann family is just one of many across the US leaving a hectic life to take part in something they say is more fulfilling.

There is still time to reserve a fresh pasture raised Thanksgiving turkey.  A friend will be coming out on Monday to pick up a few for our Hampton Roads friends.  If you would like one, please call or write as soon as possible.  We will be processing them soon.

We are blessed to be here on the farm where we see the seasons change before our eyes.  Things are getting much cooler now, but we are enjoying working together, sharing the blessing with others and nice long evenings in front of the fire.

Look forward to a visit from you soon.

Pasture Raised Poultry:  Our chickens live in the fresh air and sun light.  They move to fresh pasture daily and eat a buffet of fresh grass and bugs along with their chicken feed.  The result is a delicious nourishing chicken you just can’t beat.  You can order whole chickens cleaned and ready to cook or freeze, or chicken parts and cuts.  See our Price list or write us for details.

Beautiful Brown Eggs:  Our laying hens are able to freely roam in the sun and grass eating all sorts of goodies as well as grain and fresh water.  The eggs are amazing!  The yolks stand up when you crack them– a bright dark yellow full of “Omegas” and rich vitamins.  Don’t believe the ”diet dictocrats” who say you can’t eat eggs.  These eggs are delicious and so good for you and are an essential element to a good healthy whole foods diet!   See Orders for more details.

Grass Finished Beef:  Our cattle enjoy a fresh “Salad bar” of grass and greens.  They enjoy a normal happy life on our farm.  The cattle are raised free from hormones and antibiotics.  The meat has delicious flavor and textrue and is naturally lean.  Beef will not be available before early spring, but you can put in your orders now for 1/4 or 1/2 shares, or buy by the cut.  We process them for you at approved facilities and you just come and pick up your individually wrapped cuts.

Raw Milk  Through our cow/herd share program you can purchase a share in a cow and enjoy it’s milk weekly.  The milk on our farm comes from happy cows who enjoy fresh grass and greens every day.  Their milk is rich and creamy and full of vitamins and protein which, being unprocessed, you can actually assimilate!  The milk is available on a “cow share” program.  You actually purchase and own a share in a cow which we board and care for on your behalf.  See our orders section for more details.  We would be glad to add you to our waiting list.

Thanksgiving Turkeys  Also raised on pasture.  They live in non stressful healthy conditions and are raised on fresh pasture and natural feed until ready to process for your table.  The flavor is rich and the meat is so good for you.  Our family enjoys the turkeys for holidays and also for casseroles.  The broth from the birds makes delicous soups and sauces. 

Fresh Baked Breads and Goodies:  We use whole wheat ground fresh in our own mill just minutes before baking.  You can feel the difference in the weight of the breads and the taste is wonderful.  No sugars are added, only honey, olive oil and other delicious natural ingredients.  Order your Whole Wheat Breads, Carrot cakes.  Other items will be seasonally available.  Available by pre-order only.

Vegetables and Berries:  Vegetables and Berries are available seasonaly.

Testimony:  All of our meats and foods are truly amazing with a quality you just can’t find in the store anywhere because they are raised in harmony with God’s design.  There is a natural symbiosis when you raise several different species of animals together which God created from the very beginning.  The birds go behind the cows to clean the pasture eliminating the need for medicines and antibiotics for the cows, who would otherwise be living in their own mess.  The chickens and turkeys clean the pasture behind the cows and decrease the pest population on the farm. The frequent, if not daily, moving of the animals keeps the farm from getting overloaded with “fertilizer” in any one spot which allows the sun and other species adequate opportunity to keep the  pasture clean.  The break up of the fertilizer actually allows it TO BE fertilizer and create a richer healthier greener pasture for all the animals to enjoy.  The animals lead happy ”stress free” lives and are able to express their individual “cowishness” or “Chickenness” if you will.  The farm is full of the happy sounds of happy animals and there is plenty of work for our family to do in order to manage and care for the different animals.  Our family has been eating these healthy foods, which far exceed the standards of foods in the “organically grown” movement/market.  Hey, we have been blessed with seven children and none of us has had to be on an antibiotic for over three years now.  God has shown us what our part is in fighting sickness at the source.  He is the one who gives us health and maintains it ultimately, but there is a lack of wisdom in asking “God to bless this greasy hormone filled fried chicken sandwich to nourish our bodies!”  We need to help our immune systems to fight by feeding our bodies the nourishing fuel which serves to aid the body in fighting off disease.  

We’d love for you to come out and see for yourself!   We’re happy to serve our community in this way, by providing quality, healthy, all-natural foods grown and raised naturally!  God bless you!
