… A letter from the Orricks

We hope you have enjoyed this wonderful autumn season as much as we have.  We have made a lot of progress on our new farm, as well as on our existing property.  We are currently trying to sell our home on 5 acres so we can build on the new 40 acre farm (anyone interested in a great home in Northern Door County??!!).

The fall growing season has been great.  Our cattle enjoyed 40 acres of new lush pasture to graze and fatten up on.  We have cattle ready for market and will be offering a few quarters and halves from these grass finished steers, as well as plenty of steaks, roasts and ground beef.  If you are interested in a quarter or half, contact us right away.

The holidays are just around the corner, and now is the time to reserve your roasts, steaks, and stews for family gatherings. Please see our special Holiday Packages and list of available cuts here.

We hope to hear from you soon!

God’s blessings from our family to yours.

As my son Carson and I walked among the herd the other day during morning chores, I was reminded once again how perfectly planned cattle and grass are for each other.  You see, they were eating different types of plants than they had eaten earlier in the year. Plants they had passed by two months ago, they now found delicious.  They were eating plants that were designed to give protein and energy this late in the season to help them through the winter.

In fact, they were harvesting their own food, storing it in the form of fat, and fertilizing the pasture all at the same time.

A perfect cycle, really; no noisy tractors, no smelly barns – just the cattle, the sun, the grass, the breeze… and there we were, blessed to be in the middle of it all!
