Our Approach
At Heyday Farm, we focus on heritage breeds and heirloom varieties, organic practices, clean water, healthy soils and conditions that give animals optimal forage and quality of life. This leads to incredibly delicious and nutrient-rich food.
What is Community Supported Agriculture?
Farmers sell their foods in many ways. One way is through Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) where customers pay up front for a subscription. Although CSAs take many forms, all have at their center a shared commitment to building a more local and equitable agricultural system, one that allows growers to focus on land stewardship and still maintain productive and profitable small farms.
What’s available?
EGGS
About
Eggs from pasture-raised chickens have stronger shells, the yolks are firmer and the whites are tastier. This is because omnivorous chickens are healthiest when roaming freely, scratching for bugs in the soil and eating grass. We supplement this rich diet with local, soy-free organic grains.* We also raise mixed flock heritage breeds, which offer a variety of colors in the shells.
Details
Quantity: One dozen eggs per week (sign up for 1 or more subscriptions).
Subscriptions Length: 26 weeks
Cost: $6/dozen
Payment: Full subscription to be paid up front, $156
Pickup: At the Farm (5145 McDonald Ave NE). Our other pickup location in Winslow at the Berry Patch Kitchen Store, is full. We’re working on another location in Winslow but don’t have it up and running yet.
WHOLE CHICKENS
About
The chickens we raise for meat are called Freedom Rangers and are derived from American and European old heritage breeds. They are slow-growing compared to conventional production birds, and are well adapted to our pasture-based farming methods. They taste the way a good old fashioned chicken should, moist and full of succulent flavor and texture. These birds’ diets are also supplemented with local soy-free, organic grains.*
Details
Quantity: One whole broiler chicken per month (sign up for 1 or more subscriptions).
Subscription Length: 6 months
Cost: $6/lb (approximate, average chicken weighs 4 lbs)
Payment: Full subscription to be paid up front, $144.
Pickup: On the farm pickup each month. See calendar for future pickup dates.
PORK
About
Every season (four times a year) we offer half pigs–so clear your freezer and/or find a friend to go in on this with you. You will end up with about 50-60 lbs of incredible pork–ham, chops, bacon, ribs, roasts, sausage–all sorts of serving size cuts for your freezer. Unlike a factory farmed pig, Heyday pigs are given free reign to express their complete “piggyness” during the course of their lives. They are raised on-pasture and in a barn and loafing yard in the winter with plenty of clean bedding, receive supplemental soy-free whole grains and tasty treats from the garden. They are slaughtered off-farm at the Puget Sound Meat Producer Cooperative mobile processing unit, of which we are members and then Heritage Meats takes care of cut, wrap and curing.Details
Our pork is $5.50 per pound carcass weight, which includes processing, cutting and wrapping. A typical break down is something like this: a 250 pound pig would yield around 184 pound carcass weight and 140 pounds of pork. You can expect the cost of a half a pig to be about $5.50 x 184/2 = $506.00. Keep in mind, that is just an estimate! A $100 deposit reserves a half share and is applied to the final purchase price. We have final prices once your meat has been delivered to Heritage Meats and we get the carcass weights. Cuts and cured frozen meats are ready for pick-up on a set day and time frame–we let you know the date as soon as we do. We do not have room to store any pork, so you or a friend must pick up at the time we specify. Orders must be paid for either prior to or at pick up and can be picked up on the farm. Next pickup will be sometime between mid-March to early April.
