Meats

Pork, rabbits, lamb and quail

Pork

Our pork is available as suckling pigs, roaster pigs, and full sized market hogs, year-round with sufficient notice (2-4 weeks). Our sows are Yorkshire crosses bred to either a Chester White or Berkshire boar. The sows are pastured along with their piglets until the piglets are weaned. The weaned piglets are then finished with whole milk, whole grain breads, brewer’s grain, and tortillas, producing what we believe to be a superior product.

 

Salvaging waste foods from the human food industry reduces negative impact on the local environment. Pigs are very effective at converting these products into high quality, flavorful proteins for human consumption while also fertilizing the fields.

Rabbits

Rabbits raised free of hormones or antibiotics

 

Our rabbits are fed a pelleted feed along with grass and hay to ensure complete nutrition. We work with a local feed mill to produce the pelleted feed to our specifications. It is free from corn, hormones, or antibiotics; however, the feed cannot be certified organic at this time, due to certain components being unavailable as organically certified.

 

Our rabbits are selectively bred to be of excellent quality, large-framed and meaty. They are a combination of three breeds: Rex, New Zealand and Californian. Californian and New Zealand breeds are related and currently are the most popular commercial meat breeds due to their fast growth. The Rex breed, while being an excellent meat breed, is particularly known for its fine fur. Our Rex rabbits have a very mellow temperament. This is useful in their mothering and nurturing their young and in handling in general. While they grow somewhat less quickly than the New Zealand and Californian breeds, we use the Rex to add hybrid vigor and positive temperament characteristics. Additionally, some feel that the meat from Rex rabbits is firmer and better flavored than that of the other meat breeds, which could be due to the Rex's slower growth.

 

We produce all of our breeding Does ourselves. Bucks are occasionally purchased from high-quality breeders to increase genetic diversity, and we occasionally supply other producers with breeding stock. The rabbits are produced all year, and are in high demand from restaurants. They are available for retail sale at the Saturday SF Ferry Plaza Farmer’s Market and the Sunday Marin County Civic Center Farmers Market.
 
Superior quality pelts, hats, blankets, rabbit’s feet keychains and catnip cat toys are currently available until the California state fur ban takes effect. We believe that if we take a life for our sustenance, we should not waste any part of the animal.

Lamb

100% Grass-fed Lambs

 

Our 100% grass-fed lambs are seasonally available and in very short supply. During the dormant season, the sheep are free to graze in the vineyards, reducing our need to mow or use herbicides. The sheep must be removed to other pastures when the vines start to grow in spring. These hardy sheep are Katahdin ewes crossed on Dorset rams and produce wonderful meat and hides.

 

Pictured above is Archie, our pet wether, who was orphaned during the firestorms of 2017 and bottle raised in Mill Valley. Archie thinks he is a dog and has a fixation for Doritos. He sometimes goes on tour, to help educate people about farm animals and how to tell the difference between a sheep and an Airdale terrier.

Quail

Delicious, bone sucking, morsels. Always an easy pleaser with a touch of a gamey flavor and elegance. They are rich in protein and a good source of iron, vitamin B6, zinc, and vitamin B3. These quail come whole, bone-in, and 4 to a package. They are raised by a co-producer near our processing facility.

French Heritage Bresse Chicken

This 500 year old breed is renowned for its juicy and tasty meat. Throughout France, the Bresse chicken is considered a holiday delicacy, a cherished family holiday tradition. It is also called “The tastiest chicken in the world”.

 

While we don’t follow the strict French protocol for raising these Bresse chickens, they are being fed grain and dairy products adding to the tasty flavors. These blue legged chickens are packaged Bodhi style, with the head and feet on. This is a perfect product to explore creative recipes, soups and healthy bone broth. After all, it does not taste ”just like any chicken”.

Poussin

28 day old Cornish cross chicks. They are raised cage-free and fed organic grains. The result is a super tender and juicy butterball of a chicken that melts in your mouth. They come in three sizes: Small (1.0-1.2 lbs); Medium (1.2-1.79 lbs); Large (1.8+ lbs) 10.00/lb.

Silkie

Looking for something exotic or maybe medicinal. This Asian black chicken is one of the oldest chicken breeds.  The skin, bones and meat surface are black due to the presence of melanin. This is known as fibromelanosis. Soups, broth and curries made with Silkie is believed to be curative for the common cold, anemia and other ailments.

 

Silkies are a flightless chicken with soft fluffy feathers.  We raise them in our rabbitry and allow them to roam the barnyard to help control the insects.  Since they do not fly and are gentle, they don’t make a mess or act aggressively.

 

These chickens are packaged bodhi style (Head and feet on), giving you lots of opportunity to make soups and bone broth. While the color is unusual, the flavor does taste like chicken.

Squab

Squab is a tender, moist and richly flavored delicacy cherished in almost every culture. It is primarily a dark meat while the skin is fatty, like that of duck. The meat is very lean, easily digestible, and rich in proteins, minerals, and vitamins. 
 

Pigeon is believed to be a medicinal meat used to treat headaches and anemia. Pigeons only lay two eggs at a time and must raise their own young, making supply very limited.
