Watson Farms wishes you a Happy 4th of July! Our Farm Store will be closed on Monday, July 4.
We had a great month in June and we hope you did as well. Furthermore, it was actually the best month in sales that we’ve ever had. We’ve had a ton of new customers so we want to welcome you all. Our existing customers have really come through as well. We’re seeing sales increase each month on average.
We say all this in order to thank you all and to say that this is what we need to be able to continue in all the efforts that we are undertaking. There aren’t a lot of farms that take on feed grinding, chicken processing, and home delivery on top of tending to 4 different types of livestock. Nevertheless, that’s what we’re trying to do and it doesn’t come without a long list of challenges, but it also comes with great reward in knowing that we’re helping support your family with products you can have confidence in consuming.
So here’s a look back at some recent photos from the farm!
We received 30 new feeder pigs this week! 
Here you can see about 3000 laying hens making their way across the field. We move them every other day to a new spot which allows them to cover about 30 acres per year! 
Here’s a look at the cattle herd this morning right before moving them to a new pasture for the day. 
In extremely hot weather we run these sprinklers on the hens (and the guard dog) in order to keep them cool and happy. 
We’ve got about 1400 broiler chickens on pasture right now!
Product Spotlight
Another thing we’ve done recently is add some new products to our current offering. These are Hickory Smoked Bacon and Beef Sticks and both are from our partners at Hickory Nut Gap Meats so you know that they are produced under the same protocols that we use. Try them out!
-
Beef Stick$1.79 -
Hickory Smoked Bacon$12.96
Some cuts that we don’t look to run out of soon are Beef Ribs and Bones. So we’re once again putting them on sale to help us clear some much-needed freezer space.For some of our recommended products, check out our Featured Product Page. You might find something that you didn’t even know we had!

Help us spread the word!
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:
“This place is Brilliant! The best, most fresh pastured meats delivered to your door! We tried a small amount of the pork and beef a couple of weeks ago. It was outstanding! Today I received 1/4 of an entire pig! Yum! 30-40 pounds of mixed cuts and sausage, bacon, ribs and butts. Met the owner and Sam the new driver. Friendly, on time, you can’t go wrong here folks!”
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
