Atlas Hoofed It Farm

Thanks everyone for your orders and support for food pantry donations. We have to limit sales to CSA members at this time, due to the fact that Tri Town Packing (the USDA butcher we use) is also overwhelmed with customers at this time. We are unable to get extra dates for now, meaning we have a certain amount of expected inventory and butcher dates set up to provide ample meat and eggs for our CSA members. While we love to help out, we must make sure our CSA members have t...heir meat first as many of them have supported our farm for years. We do have a few CSA spots available still at this time, please email [email protected] if you would like more information and a contract. We do have a hard upper limit for CSA members to make sure our inventory is enough. If we end up with excess inventory, we will make that available as possible for non-members. Thanks again - stay safe and healthy!!! See more

Please feel free to share this post - we hope everyone is staying safe and healthy during this crazy time. To try to help out, we are making our CSA pricing (which usually includes a commitment to buy meat from us monthly for at least a year), open to anyone who would like to order meat. Below is our inventory and price list. Purchases can be paid for using cash or local check and either picked up on the farm, delivered to your house if possible based on location (we will ...coordinate a time/day and ask that you leave payment in a cooler outside to facilitate this), or a Saranac Lake pick up can be coordinated. Additionally - we have whole/half hogs available to be butchered at Tri Town Packing, please email or message for more information. All meat is USDA processed and comes to you frozen.

The hogs were butchered locally, then we had to bring the pork to MA to a USDA traditional Polish facility who will do 'small' specialty batches for farmers like us. These smoked hot dogs include our pork, maple syrup, water, salt and other spices, natural casings and non-fat dry milk. These our our favorite hot dogs from a taste aspect as well as the fact that we know exactly what is in them. Enjoy them steamed, boiled, grilled, or however else you like them. They have no preservatives, no nitrites, no nitrates or MSG.

Please help spread the word - our whole/half pig sale continues with our upcoming early Feb butcher appointment. Please message or email for details and share with your friends and fellow pork lovers. Thanks :-)

We are offering whole/half hogs right now for our lowest price ever. Our abundance of hogs is your gain. Please message or email ([email protected]) for details.

Thanks to everyone who came to see us at the Wild Center last Saturday. We had a great time!

Don't forget everyone - come see us at the Wild Center tomorrow (Jan. 6th, 2018)!!!

We're doing something new this year...as a family we are donating some meat to the St. Paul's Food pantry located near the Town of Franklin town hall in Vermontville. We like to try to make some sort of donation during the holiday season, and this year wanted to keep it extremely local. I have spoken with the women running this food pantry and they are happy to accept any size of meat donation as they always have need for this kind of thing and are excited to be able to hav...e grass fed, locally raised meat to offer our neighbors in need. If anyone would be interested in helping us increase the amount we are able to donate, please let me know....we can accept any amount of money donated which will go in the form of beef from our farm directly to the food pantry (100% of the money donated will be donated as meat). If you cannot or do not want to donate, please know I am not trying to add any pressure to anyone this season or at any time, I just wanted to put this information out there for anyone looking for options. If you would like to make a donation in someone's name, I can offer a card stating the information for that person to have, just let me know if you would like that. We can apparently have receipts from the food pantry if you need for tax reasons. See more

The beer 'To Russia With Love' has been extracted from it's long stay in our missile silo as it is finally ready and will be tapped this Saturday (8/20/16) in Lake Placid for the grand opening event at Big Slide Brewery and Public House. Join us there for this great family friendly event from noon-8pm. Come thirsty and hungry as you'll be able to enjoy meat raised on our farm as well as beer aged in our missile silo!

Freezers are full!!! We're all stocked up and ready to fulfill your summer grilling dreams. Newest shipment of our all natural hot dogs just in today (no nitrates, no nitrites, maple syrup is the sweetener, etc.) Give us a call or shoot us an email.

Since everyone liked the photo yesterday, feel free to check out the following links: the aerial photo was taken by the author of this website: http://atlasbases.homestead.com/ who studies missile silos like the one on our farm and he also used the drone to make a short video of our farm centered around the missile silo: https://youtu.be/mHsG6Qpjl1w It might sound corny, but our goal is to take this property, which was a farm but then was turned into a weapon of mass destruction, and revert it back to a producing farm to feed local families. Peace :-)

This is an aerial view of our farm and missile silo from this past summer. As you can see, we've been 'pioneer-farming' meaning that we have been slowly carving the farm back out of the woods. We're super proud of how far we've come, and impatient to get even further along.
