Josh’s Farmers Market in Mooresville

Monday, April 26th, 2010

Thanks to everyone that stopped by Josh’s Farmers Market last Saturday. It was great to meet some of the nice people that have been ordering our angus beef. We plan on being there on Saturdays at 9:00 am this summer.

Even though it was our first market, we are very pleased with the reception and results. We sold out of  T-Bone and Ribeye steaks and nearly ran out of tenderloin too. Ground beef was a big seller too, so come early next week. You can place an order in advance and pick it up from me and shop for more produce from our friends at Josh’s.

Remember, all natural beef is not injected with growth hormones or steriods, therefore naturally raised cattle are slightly smaller than injected beef and all natural beef has a much better flavor. Ask the numerous friends we made at Josh’s this past weekend, everyone agrees all natural tastes best.

What a Fence

All Natural Grass Fed Angus Beef

All Natural Grass Fed Angus Beef

Whew, what a fence! We finished the fencing project on Perry Farms last week and it was worth every drop of sweat and every single nickel. A good fence takes time, money, energy and determination to do a good job from start to finish; all that and more went into fencing our pasture. Thanks to our friends and family for all their help.

Foxes have become a recent issue on our farm; we have lost a good amount of chickens due to these predators. The new fence will not keep the foxes out, but it will keep our big dog in, along with our new chickens. Our dog does not like foxes; she does like our chickens though. We really do like the fresh eggs and the taste of Free Range Chicken, so it won’t be long before the fox issue is over and our chicken population will be back where we like it.

Lots of produce has been planted this year, more than any we have planted in the past, we anticipate enough produce to last all summer and most of next winter. Fresh produce is unbeatable, if you can’t grow your own, visit a local farmers market and buy fresh locally grown produce from your neighbors, you might even see us out there with our grass fed beef.

Perry Farms will be at Josh’s Produce Market on Williamson Rd in Mooresville, starting Saturday, April 24th. Stop by and say Hi!

Pollen

Me an "Dolly the Lama"

Me an "Dolly the Lama"

Whew! Have you been eatin as much pollen as I have??? This winter was as cold and wet as any in history, an now we got the possible worse pollen count in decades. 2 guesses as what summer is gonna be like???

Anywho…Been busy since the weather has broken. Fencing, Fencing, Fencing, seems like all I do lately, but the results are great! We decided to replace the majority of the fencing around Perry Farms, and so far I got most of it up. Big job, but well worth the sweat. This fence will not only contain our grass fed cattle, but our dog, chickens, some sheep later on and maybe a lama or two, who knows maybe more…it’s is a farm right.

Spent some time with my neighbor/webmaster on his farm recently. We removed numerous trees (good hardwood for next winter) and took the turn plow and disc to a huge knoll between his yard and field. End results were a smooth gradual grade, 50 lbs of grass seed, transforming an unmowable area into a beautiful lawn. Looking forward to seeing the new grass very soon, we know he is too.

This year, Perry Farms is participating in the farmers market in Mooresville at Josh’s Produce on Williamson Road. Josh’s Produce has long been a major supplier of quality produce, flowers, Christmas trees, and some occasional fresh seafood. Well this year they will have the finest grass fed beef available in our area. Come by and say Hi, we have new business cards, rack cards, signs and banners to announce our arrival. I look forward to meeting you at Josh’s, he opens the last weekend in April.
