Our Organic, Pastured, AWA Pork Sampler is back!

This was a hit last year. One of each of our favorite pork items, approximately 15 lbs of prime cuts which makes it freezer friendly too. Organic, pastured raised, Animal Welfare Approved pork, you can not beat the flavor, it is absolutely amazing. If you are not sure, try our pork at the Foundry Restaurant or at Frank's Place. At $9.00 a pound that is a great savings, a $3.00 savings on the bacon alone! Here are just a few items included in the sampler. Supplies are limited to order soon!

What to get the person who has everything?

A Gift Card from Templeton Family Organics! Just in time for the Holiday season. These can be used on any of our products - veggies, honey, pork, maple syrup, chicken or how about a laying hen or two? Or maybe a whole freezer full of meat? Who can't use food?  Isn't it even more special that you are supporting a local family farm AND its organic. Its healthy, meaningful and environmentally friendly. So get your shopping done early and in peace (no crazy stores to go through!) and come on down, pick up some gift cards, cross off a few people off your shopping list, and while you are here, visit our baby chicks that just came in today!

Big announcement! We are now Certified Animal Welfare Approved (AWA)!

We had decided that just because we say we are organic doesn't mean that our animals see the light of day, which can and does happen in the organic world (shocking I know!). We decided to take this one step further so you, the consumer, can be assured of the wonderful, happy and humane treatment of our pigs. If you have ever been here, you would have seen the happy pigs frolicking around in the pasture and playing in the mud. One of the biggest thing people say - besides how cute they are, is "I can't believe how friendly they are". So for those of you who haven't been here yet and haven't seen for yourself, you can be assured that our pork lived a very happy and natural life here which, by the way, comes out in the flavor!

Certified Organic* Pasture Raised Chickens
A limited number of chickens for meat will be raised during the growing season. You can read about the quality of our chickens from reviews on Facebook and Yelp. We have decided to lower our price, not because we need to sell but because we are striving to make Organic meat more affordable for everyone.  Whole chickens $5.00/lb. averaging between 3 and 5 pounds will require a deposit of $10.00 each with the remaining due at pick up. Pre packaged chickens $6.00/lb must be purchased in 6 chicken increments and you will receive 6 packages of breasts (2 in each), and 2 packages of thighs, drumsticks, and wings (6 in each). Deposit for pre packaged chickens is $60.00 with the remaining due at pick up. Order now for June delivery.

*Our chickens are certified organic up until butchering. This means that they are pastured outdoors in the natural sunlight and moved daily. They are fed certified organic grain along with what they forage naturally. There are no certified organic butchers in all of New England (if you find one for poultry - let us know).Certified Organic butchering is required to ensure that there is no co-mingling of conventional meat with the organic meat. Since we are unable to secure a certified organic butcher, we use our tried and true butcher who has been putting our birds first on the line to also ensure no co-mingling however we can not call them "certified organic" on the label.

Certified Organic* - Side of pork 
1/2 of a pig will yield about 70 pounds of actual cuts. There are other wonderful pieces of pork such as ham hocks or fat that are available in addition to the cuts which is included in the hanging weight. Our pigs are certified organic up until the point of butchering. Certified Organic butchering is available for an additional $75.00 charge. Smoking bacon and hams along with sausage will incur additional charges. The base price without any add-ons is $5.50 lb hanging weight and most sides will be around 100 lbs.

Available in the farmstand

We were not satisfied with our sausage and found it pretty average.  We wanted a superior product so we tapped the shoulder of one of our dear friends who happens to be a gourmet chef and after talking, experimenting and trial runs - Mrs. Moriconi's gourmet sausage was born! We are very excited about this product and we think you will be too. Made with our own organic, pasture pork right here on the farm and is naturally gluten free - you won't be disappointed! Many of our friends have caught wind of our new sausage and have been buying it up fast. Below is what is currently available and we will have more of our sold out items in a couple of weeks.

Happy Turkeys!

Our turkeys love their portable houses complete with roost. We move them every day onto fresh new grass. Its hard to tell but they are so tall we can stand upright in them giving them flying space too. Naturally now we get a LOT of requests for Thanksgiving turkeys for sale but they are SOLD OUT for 2016. Please get your turkey order in early next year - we will even reserve your turkey now.

Hardworking crew

It's a family affair...

All hands on deck - especially on a windy day. We recruited kids, neighbors, nieces and nephews to layout and shovel dirt along the entire edge of the row covers. We could get an attachment for our tractor but then everyone would miss out on the fun!
