Chicama Run Family Farm

Joe and I have been talking over the last few weeks.  We love what we do - we are amazed at how it has grown.... but then we get back to asking ourselves "Why did we start this farm?"

Answer (besides our usual "to get away from people"): To provide great products to people and for our family.

Nothing huge there - nothing profound - nothing about making a million dollars..... just to show people it can be done and to do it ourselves.

We both believe our minds have gotten away from that over the last year.  With an increase in new customers - we are always striving to please everyone.  Well, though we will always strive for that - we are getting back to basics.

Now you will see me offering classes for free (huh? what's that?)  We will work on some demonstrations for everyone to see and provide more education and hopefully talks.  I've learned a lot in 6 years - which does not make me an expert by any means - but I might know something you don't - and I'm sure you know something I don't!

Believe it or not, we might tell you we are sold out of something as we make life manageable.  We never aimed for this to be a "big business" with tons of employees - but a FAMILY FARM.  We do the work ourselves, the best we can and go from there.

We LIKE being able to offer our products as we do think they are the best out there (since we eat and drink everything we sell we have to like it - if ever in doubt, ask us about the nitrate-free hot dogs we got once and will never do again)

Our mission is not only to farm and provide food for our family (gotta say it's nice being able to walk down to the freezer because I need ground beef for tonight's dinner).... but to educate as we learn and share our experiences with you.

My garage might become more like a store front - but it's to be able to provide you with products we believe in completely and have tried ourselves.  You might get a different review from each one of us (not everyone loves everything - and all my kids will tell you their favorite steak is the Delmonico).... but with 6 of us, someone is bound not to be thrilled with something.  Yet everyone HAS to try new things :)

Keep on the look out for more down to earth business and a slower pace (at least perceived).
