Poultry 2008

Its that time of year where we gear up for our busy season. We will begin our 2008 meat production in the next couple of weeks. We will be going tomorrow to pick up our first round of birds. 50 chickens and 10 turkeys. The chickens will be ready to dress in 6 weeks. We will be concentrating our effort due to the cold weather to make sure our turkeys are ready for Thanksgiving this year, so for the next few weeks we will be focusing on those the most. We raise heritage breeds mainly, but will have bronze breasted turkeys available for those who are interested in having a naturally raise turkey. We will post later in the week and show our set up. We will also post weekly on the growth of the birds to show you how truly amazing God's design is in providing for his children. We will have chickens available once a month, the first round will be ready May 30th for on the farm pick up. You can chose a live bird or we will dress it for you here on the farm as a courtesy. Our desire is to provide a resource for fresh, natural meats, therefore our price are not reflective of the normal specialty poultry market. We do not sell by the pound, we sell by the bird. Each of our birds are 4-6Lbs+ and are $6 each. Please send in your orders now, so that we are sure to have the stock, and to get the order filled in a timely manner.

Cameron Farms

Cameron Farms has been a five year adventure for our family. We moved here only with the desire for the peace and quiet the the trees,grass, dirt roads, and the near by lake could offer us. Along the way we have truly seen this develope into a fun filled and exciting adventure that takes us down several interesting paths and directions to find our one true calling in life. This blog will hopeful allow you to see some insite to some of the off the wall, crazy ideas that we have had and participated in and how some of them played out to be profitable and some not so much. If there is one thing we have harvest a lot of it is true laughter. We have had to laugh at ourselves daily in this adventure if we could sell it we would be rich. A little about us and out reasoning. We are a family of four we have two children we homeschool and utilize this farm for their classroom. We wanted our children to not only have the classroom education but also be wise in aspects of survival as well as self sufficiency. Some of these things cannot be taught in the class room and we feel a strong conviction to teach our children to take care of themselves and provide for their families in good times and in tough ones alike. We teach them to grow and raise their own foods and how to do minor home repairs to cook, clean and budget. I want these things to come naturally to them as adults so life is as realistic as it can be. Our goal as a family is to eventually have our modest farm paid off and bring my husband home to help on the farm full time. Cameron Farms is focused on providing our family along with others in the community with fresh pasture raised poultry and vegetables from our family farm. We will have areas of opportunity on purchasing meat and vegetable products straight from our farm on our blog and give and area of resource for those who would like to do the same for their family. Thanks for joining us on the farm and check back daily for updates in our journey.
