For the past three years, Hickory Nut Gap has been proud to provide 100% grassfed beef to schools across North Carolina, helping kids access high-quality, nutritious meals while supporting local farmers. But now, that funding has been cut.
The USDA has canceled $1 billion in programs that helped schools and food banks buy directly from local farms.
If you believe in supporting local farmers and feeding kids real, healthy food, now is the time to speak up. Watch, share, and join the conversation by reaching out to your representatives.

We’re making big strides in our hurricane restoration efforts—thanks to Mike and his impressive chainsaw skills! 🌲💪 Exciting news: we’re rebuilding the bridge that once spanned our creek before the storm washed it out. Soon, part of this massive tree will become a new footbridge! Stay tuned for the transformation. #hurricanerestoration #chainsaw #hurricanehelene #chainsawwork #hurricanerecovery

It’s that time of year again! After much planning and preparation, we have welcomed our first batch of baby chickens into the brooder house. There, they’ll spend a few weeks until they are hardy enough to go out to pasture. We’re excited to once again offer pasture raised chicken at the @hngfarmstore after April 22nd!
Many thanks to @billy_de_la_calle for giving us the inside scoop on this momentous day, as we welcome the start to a new season here at the farm!

We’re excited to announce that our butchery is now offering whole smoked brisket and pork shoulder! Smoked low and slow over local hardwoods, these pasture-raised cuts are packed with bold, smoky flavor—perfect for family feasts, backyard BBQs, or easy meal prep.
Our Smoked 100% Grassfed Beef Brisket is seasoned simply with salt, pepper, onion, and garlic, then smoked for 16 hours to achieve tender, juicy perfection. Each brisket comes whole to lock in its temperature, juiciness, and crust, ready for slicing or chopping just the way you like it. $35.99/lb (~$300/order), feeds about 16 people.
Our Smoked Pasture Raised Pork Shoulder features a flavorful blend of salt, pepper, paprika, onion, garlic, brown sugar, and spices, creating that iconic barbecue bite. Smoked until fall-apart tender, each order includes two whole butts, perfect for pulling or slicing. $18.99/lb (~$180/order), feeds about 16 people.
Both options are available for pickup Thursday–Sunday with a 3-day lead time required. Need sauce? The Farm Store carries a variety of local and regional BBQ sauces to complete your meal.
🔥 Order now and bring home the best in pasture-raised, slow-smoked goodness! 🔥 (Check out the link in our bio to order).
