Group Buy: Carrell Farms
We only order once a month so please keep this in mind when ordering. Meats are 100% grass fed and finished. They are produced without GMOs, chemicals, hormones, nor antibiotics of any kind.
Carrell Farms is a family owned, grass-based livestock operation featuring 100% grass fed, chemical-free, USDA processed Asian water buffalo. Seasonally they offer 100% grass fed lamb and other species. They are the first alpaca farm in the Southeastern US and offer alpaca shearing and farm consulting services.
New to Alpaca meat? Carrell Farms Grass fed Alpaca is a real treat!
Alpaca is a very mild, sweet meat, similar to pork but without the pig,chop cooks up a very similar in color and texture to pork.
Our alpacas are 100% grass fed and antibiotic free. Grass Fed a species appropriate diet, No Soy, No GMOs. Raised with love and respect, not hormones and antibiotics.
Here is another gentle reminder that ''It is okay to be different''.
Why water buffalo? Well why not? Water Buffalo tastes great! It has an honest red meat flavor with no gaminess. There is no need to marinade or over season our water buffalo as the flavor is grown right in. No need to drain - any excess fat is highly nutritious! Water Buffalo ground is excellent for burgers, chili, meat loaf, sloppy joes, spaghetti sauce, etc.! Be sure to try our famous Buffalo Con Queso recipe ( recipe on Suwanee's website). Children and adults alike really love it!
Omega 3 fats have a much lower melting point than Omega 6 fats. Expect grass fed meats to cook in 1/3 less time than contemporary grain fed meat.
Grass fed beef - Double up this week!
Local produce
Organically grown cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, garlic, lambs quarters (wild spinach), spinach, and zucchini are on the market!
NEW FERMENTED ITEMS!
SALE! Dill Pickle Spears - Cultured Traditions just pickled a bunch of local cucumbers from Fry Farm and are offering to you at a discounted price. This is mainly due to their size and the pickles are packaged in quart sized plastic containers instead of glass. I had the opportunity to taste test the pickles today and they are wonderful! Perfect addition to your summer picnic or cook out! They are pre-cut into spears so great for a quick, probiotic snack as well! $6 for 32 oz. Take advantage of the reduced price while it lasts!
Kraut Kvass, often referred to as Kraut Juice is a fermented beverage made from cabbage. It is tart, tangy, and its flavor very much resembles that of sauerkraut. It provides the same benefits of regular sauerkraut, but in a convenient liquid form that is much milder on the stomach. Loaded with nutrients and naturally occurring probiotics, it acts as a natural aid to digestion and assists the body's natural ability to heal many digestive and other health issues. It is highly recommended for those on GAPS diet. Ingredients: Purified Water, Organic Green Cabbage, Organic Apples, Himalayan Pink Salt
Awesome Sauce - Kimchi Brine
We made our awesome Kimchi and had lots of beautiful brine left after we packaged it. It is a thick, spicy and very flavorful brine that still has chunks of napa cabbage in it! It is absolutely delicious on rice, meats, eggs and just as a dipping sauce. It is also a wonderful soup base. Just like our Kimchi the sauce is living and vibrant, full of naturally occurring probiotics, never heated, and as with all of our ferments, its flavor continues to evolve with time. Ingredients: Napa Cabbage, Cucumbers*, Daikon Radish*, Scallions*, Apples*, Onions*, Garlic*, Ginger*, Rice Flour*, Himalayan Pink Salt, Gochugaru Red Pepper Flakes, Sugar* (*Organic)
Kimchi - Cucumber (Kimchi Style Pickles)
Our Kimchi is living and vibrant, never heated, and as with all of our ferments, the flavor continues to evolve with time. Wonderfully delicious right out of the jar, or on your favorite sandwich, salad or soup it is a delicious, nutritious addition to any meal! Ingredients: Cucumbers*, Scallions*, Apples*, Onions*, Garlic*, Ginger*, Rice Flour*, Himalayan Pink Salt, Gochugaru Red Pepper Flakes, Sugar* (*Organic)
