We hope everyone has a great Memorial Day tomorrow as we honor those who gave all for our country.

Here’s the weekly roundup from Watson Farms and your direct connection to your farmer. Enjoy the latest edition of Pasture Posts!

For several years now, we have had to partially rely on other producers to help us keep our freezer shelves stocked thanks to the astonishing growth our farm has experienced from more and more customers like yourself who have joined our land-healing ministry over the last few years. But before we partner with any other producer, we are very careful to properly examine the producer to ensure that they abide by the same protocols that you have come to expect from Watson Farms.

We know that our farm is fortunate to be one that hundreds of families across the Carolinas and beyond look to when it comes to sourcing 100% grass-fed beef. We know that they also expect our products to meet a number of other standards like:

We also feel that once a family like yours begins relying on our farm for nutrient-dense pasture based proteins that we then have a responsibility to continue to serve you to the best of our ability. We don’t take it lightly that you have chosen to source from us, and we greatly appreciate that decision. Those decisions are in fact what has kept our farm from being swallowed up by a corporation that would develop it or roll it into a monocrop mega-farm operation. Neither of those outcomes are conducive for a regenerative food system.

With all that said, we wanted to be up front and transparent with you that in the coming weeks we will be sourcing some 100% grass-fed beef from a partner producer, and the packages will have a different label than our current product. The reason for this is simply because, due to high demand, our beef supply is a little short. So rather than rushing our cattle and processing them before they have had time to finish well, we will be able to bridge the gap with some excellent beef while giving our cattle some extra time.

We have thoroughly vetted the folks we will be sourcing from and are fully satisfied that they adhere to the same protocols that we do. The cattle are raised in Georgia and the processing plant is in northern Florida. Rest assured that this beef is 100% grass fed and grass-finished and is regeneratively raised on a farm much like ours.

As always thank you for choosing to make a difference with your food dollar! We hope to see you soon.

Tell a Friend!

It’s now easier than ever to Give $15 and Get $15 through our Referral Program. We don’t spend a lot of money of advertising, but rather we focus on producing products that people love and are willing to tell others about. So we depend on word of mouth to find new customers and ultimately to heal more land.

So in an effort to streamline this process we have made it easier to tell others (via email, Facebook, or Twitter) about Watson Farms. And it’s all automated on the backend, so you don’t have to rely on us to issue the store credits manually. Just head over to our Referrals Page and start sharing!

We re-use packaging!

We’ve seen a good response to our efforts in re-using packaging! Thanks and keep it up.  

You can help us reduce our carbon footprint by returning your CLEAN egg cartons and meat boxes. 

The main reason that we switched to plastic egg cartons a while back was because they are so much more durable than paper which could only be used once.  They also protect the eggs much better!

So if you have some egg cartons or boxes to return, you can just place them on your porch on your home delivery day.  Farm pickup customers can, of course, drop them off when you come to pick up your new order.  

***We can only re-use OUR cartons or boxes. Please re-use or recycle other boxes or egg cartons elsewhere.***

We redact your personal information found on your meat boxes when we re-use them, but feel free to redact to redact it yourself without damaging the box if you would like.  

Thanks for helping us re-use our packaging!

Did you know that we have a webpage that displays all the reviews we have received?  

Check it out!

Check out this ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review:

“I ordered several different cuts of beef from them. They were all excellent. Delivery went smoothly. Everything was packaged well and cleanly. I’ll definitely be a regular customer and look forward to trying their other products like ham. It’s nice to be able to buy from a local, family farm.”

We would greatly appreciate it if you would be kind enough to leave us a review.  It helps first-time customers purchase with confidence.

Thanks again for being partners in this endeavor of local, pasture-raised proteins that has truly transformed our farm.  We look forward to continuing this transition while serving you long into the future.

Sincerely,
The Watsons
