I’m looking to go in and share this with a friend. Is there any way that we can get the portions split into halves?

Yes 10 lbs/month over the CSA time period. The first time period is 5 months (we got started a little late) from here on out it will be a six month commitment, which would get you 60 lbs of meat over the CSA time period. Let me know if you need other clarifications.

Does the 10lb share mean that I would receive 10 lbs. per month? Maybe I’m just beiing real dense!!

Yes we do process our poultry on farm at this point. When the new poultry plant opens we hope to bring them our business and support the growing agricultural economy of WNC. The proposed plant is in Marion and this is about a 40 minute drive for us from our farm in Fairview. We hope to be able to offer cuts of chicken and chicken sausages rather than just whole birds as we do now as a result of this change. Here is their website http://isampa.org/

We send frozen pork bellies to PA and receive them back as smoked bacon. If you know of a more local, federally inspected facility please let us know.

Yes that is accurate. We may add another location once we get this thing up and going that is closer to “town”

I assume that if we choose to pick up at West Asheville market, that we would pick up at the store location when the market is not running???

I was told at the City Mkt location last summer that your turkeys and chickens were processed right at the farm because of the small number you sell. Will this change when the processor comes to the area? If so, how will this work? How far to travel in what way etc. Thanks.

Thank you for being clear about what you do. I only wish there was a closer place for you to process your meat, and hope for the success of one coming to the area. Other then deer your meat is exclusively where I get my meat protein.
