To all of our friends, fans, and customers - A few months ago we made the decision to stop raising pigs at Piney Woods Ranch. Though we love the pork, and everybody who has tried it agreed it was great - it just wasn't a good "match" for us.
Of course, this raised the important question "Where are we going to get our bacon and chops from now?" We knew we would never be happy with supermarket pork, so we set out to find a local pork producer that raised pigs the way we would do it.
GOOD NEWS! We have found some great pork!
Shady Grove Ranch of Jefferson Texas is a family owned and run farm that raises pastured pork, poultry, and beef - and does it in a way that makes us smile. Non-GMO, soy-free feed, pasture, fresh air and living in the great outdoors. These are the things that make for great pork, poultry, and beef.
We connected with Matt and Jerica - whom we had met and talked with a few years ago - and told them that Winnsboro Farmers' Market was now without a pork producer. Turns out that they have LOTS of pigs and would love to see their pork being sold at our market!
Long story short - We've signed Shady Grove Ranch u as a vendor for the market and will have their pastured pork and chicken at the Piney Woods Ranch booth at the Market starting on Saturday, September 16th. Stop by if you're looking for some great bacon, meaty chops, or some super chicken! We have limited quantities available now with more to come. We've also arranged for you to order ahead - including hams and turkey for the holidays!
Ahhhhh - bacon is back. Life if good again!
