Fall is rapidly descending upon us and it’s the time of year when folks consider purchasing ¼, ½, or whole steer or hog for their freezer.  Evermore Farm products are raised, processed, and packed with the highest quality standards from birth to package.  Folks often ask us if we can sell them fresh cuts.  Due [...]

The other day I got a call from a lady looking for pig skin.  I asked what she meant by pig skin and she said, “You know. Like when you cut a pork shoulder roast…do you leave the skin on? Can I buy pig skin from you?”  I gently replied that our processor skins our [...]

With the July 4th holiday just around the corner, now is a good time to review which steak cuts you may want to serve up on your grill next week.  with so many choices, you can't go wrong, but you can select the flavor profile and costs of the cuts you select. Here’s a quick [...]

My undergraduate degree from Penn State University is in Health and Physical Education. I was good at sports but I think the real draw to that major was the experiences I had being a team member and being mentored by great coaches.  Playing on a team, working together, and not letting down your team mates [...]
