You can have your STEAK and eat it too, with this incredibly lean, yet exceptionally tender NY Strip. Delicious grilled, sautéed or broiled! WHY PIEDMONTESE? From the Piedmont of Italy to the Piedmont of Georgia, our grass fed Piedmontese is an exceptionally rare & gourmet, heritage breed... NATURALLY LEAN & TENDER. Piedmontese is one of the only breeds known to carry a "double muscling" gene. This naturally occurring gene produces meat that contains LESS cholesterol and fat than skinless chicken breast while preserving UNSURPASSED tenderness and flavor. The American Heart Association has actually declared Piedmontese a Heart Healthy Food. It is why we like to say, "You can have your steak & eat it too!" RARE & VALUABLE. The purity of their line traces back 25,000 years to the late stone age - a time when wooly mammoths and saber toothed cats roamed. For the sake of genetic preservation, Piedmontese are still a rarity outside of Italy. In fact, there exists in the rolling hills of the Italian Piedmont, a small association of farmers who maintain tight control over what may be "the most unique gene pool of any breed of cattle in the world." HYBRID VIGOR. We are one of the only Piedmontese farmers in the Southeast. Our Piedmontese beeves are sired by our magnificent and gentle bull, Al - a certified purebred Piedmontese. We breed Al to "mom's" of various breeds who are chosen for their propensity to grass finishing and flavor. We choose to crossbreed to tailor our beef for superior qualities. The "double muscling" gene, however, is dominant and is the influencing trait in all of our Piedmontese beef. FOR THE LOVE OF COMMUNITY & ALL THINGS FARMING.. Our farming philosophy is pure and simple - respecting our animals and our pastures with no antibiotics, hormones or harmful chemicals...from birth to finish. Our Piedmontese Beef is one of the most tender, succulent pieces of beef you can find!

Delicious fresh blueberries. These fruits are excellent health boosts and can be added to nearly any dish.

Yum!

I love the blueberries of summer, but I think it's time I shared. I save the big ones for you guys, if you want to partake. Especially because of the rain, it's been a good summer for the blueberries that survived splitting from all the water. These are Rabbiteye type, Climax variety.

A GREAT hostess gift! Our rabbit-eye blueberries are a mix of at least nine different varieties including: Climax, Brightwell, Delite, Powder Blue, and Bluebell. Rabbit-eye blueberries are native to the southeastern United States and have become very popular among growers in recent years. Some of you may know these berries as 'Jim's Farm' blueberries. If so, you already know how full of flavor they are, and how much care Jim put in to them over the years. If you have never had home grown, perfectly ripe blueberries you do not really know what a blueberry tastes like. They are a gift to the South.
