Duran’s Farm Fresh Products

Just a reminder to anyone that is interested in our Adopt A Pig or Adopt a Cow programs. Blaine is offering a special discount on the last few pigs we have available right now. You would save $110.00 total off the normal price. We usually get $350.00 total for raising the quality pork for your freezer, but Blaine is discounting for the month of January only. Instead of $50 for the animal and $50 a month for 6 months, you pay $40 for the animal and only $40 a month. This will be first come first serve, so if you’re interested, contact us asap. They will go quickly

The Adopt a Cow program works the same as the pigs only it takes much longer to feed out a steer rather than a pig. A pig takes 6 months where a steer takes 2 years. We do not give the animals any type of growth hormones, we leave the growing part in God’s hands.
Blaine gets $1.00 per pound live weight for the steers. If you adopt the animal, you have the opportunity to pay monthly rather than coming up with the large expense all at once.

ONLY A FEW DAYS LEFT TO ENTER TO WIN OUR $25 GIFT CERTIFICATE THAT WILL BE GIVEN AWAY FEBRUARY 1ST.
Simply request to be on our EMAIL mailing list and you are entered. If you would like to be entered additonal times, just refer someone to be added to our list and have them mention your name. For each referral, you get an additonal entry.

ALSO: WE ARE ACCEPTING BIDS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF OUR STORE AS SOON AS THE WEATHER BREAKS. If you would like to be considered for the job, contact us soon. We hope to make a decision and be ready to build as soon as weather permits.

thanks!

There are so many things here on the farm that will be growing and changing this year, it’s hard to hold back the eagerness for spring, the anticipation of the new store, and all that it holds. Right now we are full of questions and you, our loyal and supportive customers have the answers we seek.

If you would like to help us better serve you and the community, we are looking for MUCH INPUT from you. Questions you might comment on:

What plants and varieties of plants will you be shopping for?
What kind of bulk food items would you like us to carry?
We will be carrying cheese making supplies–what items would you like to see us offer?
We will reserve space in our store for workshops and classes. One of the first ones will be cheese making. We’d like to recruit someone for a canning/freezing/preserving food class….know anyone?
Ideas on other workshops you’d be interested in??

We are accepting bids for the construction of our store. If you know of a construction crew willing to put in a bid for the job, have them contact us asap. We’d like to break ground as soon as the weather permits. We would like to open the doors for business in April or May.

Other notes to be aware of:

We still have a few pigs and steers waiting to be adopted for your freezers. This will be first come, first serve. We have 9 more sows that will be delivering this month and next, for 4 H youth projects. We’ve already been contacted by several families wanting us to ‘hold’ animals for them. We look forward to traveling to the local fairs and seeing our animals all grown up, so to speak, and how well the youth have done in raising them.

We appreciate any and all comments, suggestions and questions as we take this huge step into unknown territory concerning the store opening. We will be adding and changing our inventory as time passes and we learn what products you desire and need.

JANUARY’S $25.00 CONTEST !!
Please do not forget that in about 2 weeks we will be giving away a $25 gift certificate to one lucky winner from our mailing list. If you are on our list, you are already entered.
