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 Grassfed 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% grassfed 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 grainfed meat.
