Food Matters
Food Matters
Why are we doing this? Because we, like you, believe that food really does matter. Where it comes from, how it was raised and under what conditions is critical in the grand scheme of things and is too often lost in today’s world. Profit motive, while important to us is lower on the priority scale because we feel that we’re doing something really important. Food matters. And, really good food matters even more.
Trust Matters
Trust matters too. And, while large commercial producers are important, it is nearly impossible to know what’s in your food, how it got there or the conditions it may have endured on the way to your kitchen. Trust matters here in a really big way.
You can trust Big Mamou Farm to communicate exactly what’s in your food and how it got there. In addition, you can count on us to uphold the highest standard of animal husbandry. If our animals aren’t comfortable we do not sleep.
Animals Matter
We’re omnivores that’s true, but that doesn’t mean we take the subject lightly. Our animal’s health, well-being and comfort is the highest priority on the farm.
Environment Matters
The land on which our cows and other animals graze is Organic. We elected not to use herbicides or pesticides on our fields over 20 years before becoming certified in 2012.
Family Matters
We recognize that you have hundreds if not thousands of choices when it comes to where you buy your beef, chicken and other proteins. Educating your children by helping them connect with the farm and their food source more intimately will help them make better and more informed decisions about their diet, the environment and the welfare of animals in the future.
Economy Matters
Buying local helps improve the area in which we live. Your hard earned dollar benefits you twice or more when you buy locally. You benefit first when you exchange it for something that you need or desire, and then indirectly again as that same dollar is invested in local businesses and taxes that improve our general area.
The Farm Store is open Saturdays each week between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Our products include a variety of meats, eggs, soups and casseroles. We also carry a variety of local producer’s products for your convenience.
We hope that you stop by.
