Hello Ocean Song Farm Mailing list members:

We wanted to send a hearty and Warm Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to each of you. We were hoping to get our turkeys up to market weight before the big Christmas day feast but not so. For now they wander freely amongst the cardinals at the sanctuary and are growing into what will be delicious little wintertime meal treats. We have about 13, they will dress out at about 12 lbs. if you are interested in one for your freezer let me know, I'll set one aside for you.
 
Additionally, we need to ask that people who have reserved a lamb or pig please contact us to start your cutting orders and for us to get a deposit.

Here is the general breakdown subject to specific weights from Adams Farm:

Pigs are $5.00/ lb. fresh meat hanging weight
Costs of Butchering: approx. $140.00

Smoking costs are separate: $1.45/lb

BUTCHERING AND SMOKING TO BE PAID BY BUYER

For those of you who are interested in purchasing lamb:

Lamb is 3.89/lb fresh meat hanging weight

Costs of Butchering: 25.00
Cost of Vacuum Sealing per pound: .75

BUTCHERING TO BE PAID BY BUYER

We have a few lambs left, whole or half, one pig now and one pig later in spring. All of the goats are available for sale. These are kid goats less than a year old.

If you are interested please respond ASAP- these usually go fast.

Thank you for your patronage. We wish you a very merry Christmas.

If you need to contact me send an email and I will get right back in touch with you.
