Bringing you not only local sustainable veggies, but now meat too!
Now you can round out your weekly CSA box by adding locally grown, sustainable meat. I'm so excited that Earl from Hampton Ridge will be offering a CSA meat box each week for pickup at the Covington farmers market. Here's a little bit about our new partner.
For over 10 years now, we at Hampton Ridge Farm have been dedicated to regenerative practices of agriculture in order to provide quality food to our community. We work with the Livestock conservancy out of North Carolina in order to save the bloodlines of Heritage Breed animals, traditional livestock breeds that were raised by our forefathers. The breeds of the bygone era, before industrial agriculture became mainstream.
Our ancestors knew the importance of these animals, not only the quality of food they would produce but the purpose they served in helping to take care of the land. To protect our soil. Without good soil, we have no nutrient dense food. It has been an honor to bring these practices back to our land and help save these important creatures by giving them a purpose again.
We have been selling our meats for 7 years now at the Covington Farmers Market and we are very excited to be now offering weekly boxes through this CSA. We hope you can see the difference in what we provide vs. what the industrial market has convinced you is “good quality” all these years.
You will find in your box each week, different cuts from our Freedom Range Chickens and our Large Black Hogs, as well as possibly from time to time some specialty cuts from our spanish goats or Horned Dorset lambs. This is more than just making a buck off you to us, we want to nurture, educate, and connect folks back to where their food comes from and to feel good about it in the end.
