Try locally produced Cannon Valley Butcher's Block products before they’re gone! We have Maple Blueberry Sausage Links, Pancetta Pork Belly, and Sage Pork Sausage currently in stock at our market.

We were fortunate to get to work with Sarah Scheub, the founder of Cannon Valley Butcher Block, the past few years. Sarah has years of farming experience and worked as a retail butcher in NYC and product manager at Lorentz Meats in Cannon Falls before starting her own regenerative pork production and craft butchery venture locally. She’s now moved on to work for a local foods distributor in Michigan. We wish her all the best as she continues to support independent farmers and local food systems!

Alas, This Will Really Be The Last

Thank you to all of you who made it out for our Freezer Blow Out Sale last month - it was wonderful to see you in person! We were successful in moving all remaining inventory into the 4 freezers in Lake City before the deadline!

Our Fall Pork Share pigs have all found their way to our Share Customers' freezers. Thank you Share Customers! We wouldn't have made it without you! Buying custom shares from farms is the best way to support your local farmers!

The only remaining inventory besides what you see available on the site is on the hoof. My lovely ladies Raven, Prim, and Skunky are 3 proven sows that provide high quality genetics for pastured finishing. If you are interested in purchasing one or more of my sows, please inquire. I will never be ready to let them go, but a good home is a good start.

PS. If you haven't tried caul fat we highly recommend it! Caul fat is part membrane part fat which makes it perfect for wrapping and basting other foods with. My favorite is eggplant because it soaks up the fat as it renders! but I haven't found a dish wrapped in caul fat that I didn't like yet! Try it out!

Happy Holidays!

Final Farm Update:

Well, I hate to say it but the time has come to throw in the towel. As many of you know, I lost access to the farm land I rented the last few years back in April and have searched for a new home and farm to no avail. Despite that set back, I pivoted, reduced stock, formed partnerships, and hoped a solution would appear. But instead, I took another blow that combined with the loss of land proved insurmountable.

I was informed by my cold storage facility that due to liability concerns they would no longer be renting to farmers like me who do not raise their animals at the non-profit's demonstration farm (pigs are not allowed there due to an investors religious beliefs). Without a farm to farrow & finish hogs or a large scale freezer to hold inventory for sale to folks throughout the year, there is no path forward for my pork business.

So, I take this opportunity to THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for all your support. I'll be transitioning away from farming into a new role in local food distribution. I hope and believe in the depths of my soul that I will find my way back to raising amazing high quality food for my community. I will make a home on the land again someday. Like the pastures I graze, sometimes rest and renewal is just what's needed to come back with a burst of life and productivity.

Many Thanks,
Sarah
