How Does This Work?
Every week, we visit local farms, talk with the farmers, and purchase the freshest, yummiest food. We support farmers who nurture their soil, strive for sustainable farming practices, and don't use harmful or questionable products. Each week, you choose a la carte from the list of available food and pay for what you choose. We pack your share into reusable containers and you get your food. You, in turn, leave us the empty containers from last week's order and arrange payment. It's that simple!
To assist in your enjoyment of local produce, we will share storage information, preparation tips, recipes and ways to use new foods via this blog.
Sometimes, customers will have the option of adding eggs, honey, meat, cheese, mushrooms, bulk fruits, and other foods to their orders. Monthly, we order dry goods and food staples from Neshaminy Valley Natural Foods (based in Philidelphia, PA). These additional options are called Special Orders.
Is the food organic? Organic is such a key word these days. We go for local first, choosing farms that are as close as possible to the LaPlata area. Whenever there is an organic option, we will go with that. After that, we look for farmers who use IPM (integrated pest management), composting, and other sustainable practices. If you would like your food to be strictly organic, just let us know when you become a customer!
There are three membership options:
I) Weekly delivery to your home - cost $12/month + mileage charges
II) Weekly pickup at my home - cost $12/month
III) Special Orders Only - cost $5/order
Pasture Raised Ground Beef!
It's Only Natural Farm will be processing an entire cow as ground beef in a few weeks. This is pure grass-fed beef from a Texas Longhorn cow. It is being sold in one pound packages and has to be picked from the farm (or me) on November 28 (unless the butcher changes the pickup date by a day or two). There will be several hundred pounds of ground beef and it is being sold first come first served. To reserve your beef, go to
itsonlynaturalfarm.com, create an account if you don't already have one, and order the ground beef. You will have to mail a deposit to the farm for your beef before the deadline listed.
If you expect me to pick up your ground beef for you, you have to let me know and provide me with appropriate sized coolers!
