Hurricane Helene Update

There are no words to describe the loss we are feeling in the aftermath of Helene. Our friends and neighbors throughout Western North Carolina are facing true devastation. Our hearts are broken, but we know about the strength and resilience of this community.

Our Farm Store is currently closed, but our warehouse and meat distribution systems are operational.
