Pasture Posts #215

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

Spring Scenes

The scenery around the farm this time of year just can’t be beat.

Take a look at these shots from around the farm this week!

We have our first set of broiler chickens out on pasture and they are really enjoying all the green grass. Moving shelters everyday is hard work, but it’s worth it in the end because as you know, life on pasture makes a huge difference compared to the industrial version of chicken.

The cattle are stuffing themselves constantly with as much forage as possible. We’ve even gone to twice-per-day moves for now as we try to control the excess grass growth!

Product Spotlight

Carving Hams are back! With Easter coming up be sure to take advantage of this limited-stock, limited-time item!

We get these from our friends at Hickory Nut Gap who have the same ideas as we do about how pigs should be raised – on pasture not in barns!

These are truly delicious! Don’t miss out.

Also, we’ve got a large number of products on sale right now with a ton in the pantry category. Be sure to check them out!

Note: pantry items cannot be shipped via UPS.

Check out this ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review from Jamie:

“We found Watson’s Farm during the pandemic. The meat tasted so much better than any meat coming from our grocery store. We have also purchased eggs and other pantry goods. Now that we have a granddaughter, it’s so important to know exactly where our food comes from. We love that they deliver too, but sometimes, we pick up because we enjoy the landscape on the drive to their farm. Thank you Watson Family. We appreciate all the hard work you do everyday.”

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

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!

Start Sharing!

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
