Rendered Leaf Lard and Beef Tallow
Available On-Farm
Many old-fashioned recipes require cooking with lard or tallow. Despite its demonized reputation, these fats are actually better for your health than processed vegetable oils!
Leaf lard is the highest grade of lard that comes from the area around the kidneys and loin of the pig. It has a soft, spreadable consistency at room temperature and because it's the most pure form of pork lard it's best used for baking flaky, tender pie crusts, crispy cookies and muffins when you don't want the finished product to have any pork taste at all. When you purchase lard in this form, it has already been rendered as is ready to use. If you've never eaten foods cooked with lard, you're in for a pleasant surprise! This product is sold in a 500mL tub.

Farm-Fresh Eggs
Available On-Farm, Order Online
Our chickens are free run with access to a large outdoor paddock. In addition to the worm-eating and bug-scratching that they do the chickens eat non GMO grain that we grow ourselves along with plenty of fruits, vegetables and garden scraps.
We have a mix of heritage breeds in our flock and the eggs pack a nutritional punch with less cholesterol and saturated fat but more vitamin A and E, omega 3's and beta carotene!
