🌱 Sprouting through the drought + Pork Blowout continues! (Beef bundles running low)

Hey Friends,

If you’ve been stepping outside lately, you know we are deep into weathering a tough dry spell here in Chester. Around a farm, weather dictates just about everything we do, and lately, we’ve been watching the skies with a lot of anticipation.

Thankfully, the rain we received back on Thursday, May 7th gave us just the window we needed. We were able to get out into the fields and plant about 35 acres of our warm-season grass and legume mix—a combination of pearl millet and sunn hemp. If you remember from last year, this specific mix did incredibly well for us, providing deep-rooted, nutrient-dense forage for our livestock when the summer heat sets in.

The great news? It has officially sprouted! Seeing those green shoots coming up out of the soil is a huge relief, and it’s off to a great start. Now, we just keep hoping and praying for more rain to keep that momentum going.

Here is what’s happening around the farm web store this week:

⚠️ Limited Supply: Whole Animal Beef Bundles

Because we are facing a limited supply on certain cuts, we currently have a limited number of our whole animal beef bundles available. If you are looking to restock your freezer with 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef, you’ll want to grab these quickly.

We have a limited inventory remaining for:

Once these sell out, we will be waiting on our next anticipated major restock in early June.


🐖 Product Spotlight: Making Room for the June Restock!

To be completely transparent with you, our freezers are packed tight right now, and as we just mentioned, we have a massive restock of our 100% grass-fed beef coming in early June. To make sure we have the empty shelf space ready for all those incoming beef cuts, we need to move some of our premium pastured pork fast.

Because of that logistical puzzle, our Pastured Pork Blowout Event is rolling right along. We are holding the price of our Quarter Pig Bundle down to just $225, and we’ve also included our Pork and Poultry Prime Pack on sale for just $155 to help clear out those freezers.

Our pigs are raised out on healthy, vibrant pastures where they live a great life, translating into incredibly clean, nutrient-dense meat. If you have been waiting for the right time to fill your freezer with wholesome pork that is raised the right way, this is your moment. Buying in bulk like this is the absolute best way to save money while supporting our family farm.

What’s included in the Quarter Pig?

You get a fantastic variety of chops, roasts, sausage, and more, all packaged and ready for your freezer.

Check out this ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review from Emma:

“We are beyond grateful that we came across Watson Farms a couple years ago. We’ve been a loyal supporter of their fresh, grass-fed and finished beef ever since. We also enjoy ordering their pork and chicken products and stocking up on beef sticks and honey from their farm store. The transparency they provide in their process and their personal customer service is refreshing and appreciated. We will continue to be loyal customers to Watson Farms for years to come.”
