Grow food. Ride bike. Eat local. Be change.

We have pigs available for March pick-up! We have 2 pick-up dates in March and a limited number of pigs, 4 pigs for each pick-up. We are harvesting 4 on 2-18 and those will be ready on 3-22. We will harvest another 4 on 3-4 and those will be ready on 3-22. We will offer a special for those that want to pre-pay for your pig. The pre-pay cost gives you a discount plus you will get free sausage! (5 lbs for a 1/2 pig order and 10lbs for a whole pig!) The cost for pre-pay is based on a 200lb pig (hanging weight) @$3.80 per pound would be a total of f $760 for a whole and $400 for a 1/2 pig @$4.00 per pound. You pay for processing at the time you pick up your pig. If you have any questions you can DM me or email me at sara@ykeracres.com. Please let me know if you want a pig-very limited quantity! Thank you for supporting local food!
Lunch for some hungry farmers! Enjoying our pork on this fabulous @ursa_minor_brewing pizza! The garlic bread pizza is SO good! Thanks Ursa Minor for supporting local farmers like us! #knowwhereyourfoodcomesfrom #knowyourfarmer #localfood #supportindependentbusinesses #shoplocal #pasturedpork #pasturedporksausage #porkwildricesausage @joseyweik braving the -16F (-39F with windchill) to feed and water our pigs & cows! Farmers never get a day off due to extreme weather...those animals depend on us! Thank you Josey & Matt for being so hardcore! 💪🏾❄️💨 #toughfarmers #minnesotacold #fluffycows The herd is doing okay during this cold snap. It’s amazing how much hair they have! #dextercows #dextercalves #grassfedcows We have a funny looking puppy in the house 😳🤭 During this cold spell I don’t think we have gone a day without a piglet or two warming up in the house for some extra love, hydration, and rest...this one is in good shape, but just needs some extra warmth. #piglets #blueheelerpuppy #mydoglovespigs When it is cold outside and your job is to be in that cold EVERYDAY-you need lots of calories! This is a typical breakfast for @joseyweik and Matt. Josey likes hashbrowns-so I make homemade hash browns every morning using @foodfarmcsa potatoes. Eggs are a staple and usually some sort of cut of pork. This time it is sliced smoked loin...YUM! Matt likes to have greens for breakfast, so after I cook the smoked loin-I use the fat from that to sauté sliced summer squash and cut up Swiss chard. I usually add a little garlic salt & honey...topped with Mexican Cheese. It’s a hearty way to start a hearty day! #feedingafarmer #breakfastofchampions
Kat is so darn FUZZY! 😍 She did great during this coldsnap. So far we have had 9 heifer calves born on the farm and 6 bull calves-that is a total of 15 calves 😳 so far since May of 2017! #happycalf #ourherd #dextercalf Happy New Year
One day old and possibly the cutest ever @joseyweik decided to name her “Kat”...she is tiny, but mighty! This little one is a heifer calf! Since her Mom is Karamel, her Grandmother is Kally-we will keep the “Ka” theme. I just dried her off a bit and it is nice to see her up and walking!
