Meet Mario, one of the first team members to join the Karl Family Farms family. With his calm and positive demeanor, he's a natural at taking care of all the animals on our farm. We applaud Mario's hard work and feel blessed to have him on our team!

If you love your beef jerky on the tender side then check out our beef bites. They're made with the same grass-fed beef as our jerky, but ground instead of strips. #GrassFedBeefJerky #BeefBites #Beef #KarlFamilyFarms

Our sustainably raised, grass-fed jerky tastes great thanks to our #HudsonValley roots! But we're not the only ones churning out good stuff around here, so let's highlight another local brand you can love: Unshattered. They make beautiful #upcycled premium #handbags, #totes, #pouches and custom bags. Also, 100% of their profits support their mission of ending the addiction relapse cycle! We are humbled by their handiwork and dedication to this important cause. #HudsonValleyArtisans #HudsonValleyFarms #RecoveryWarriors #SustainableSnacks #EcoFriendlyProducts

Hey everyone! Farmer Kris here. Spring officially started a few days ago, but sitting here on the farm in the sunshine, it finally hit me and I wanted to wish everyone a happy spring! Like each of us, spring around here isn't perfect. It's a little wet and muddy and still a bit chilly at times, but it also brings gorgeous sunny days and the birth of our spring lambs & calves. Fresh green foliage grows in our pastures and gardens & the flowers and so many other beautiful thin...gs come back to life. Whether your winter was mild or harsh, I hope that you each take this spring as a time to flourish and bloom just like our farm does. Better and brighter days are ahead, and we look forward to fueling your adventures and hearing all about them. We can't wait for the warmer weather, but we wanted to say a proper farewell to the winter. Check out our favorite frosty flashbacks!

Today we celebrate the Irish Heritage of the Karl Family, with a round of local stout from our friends Gardiner Brewing Company and the sweet and spicy flavor of our Jalapeño Pork Sticks. Happy St. Patrick's Day to all! #StPatricksDay #PorkSticks #HudsonValley

Longer days are on the way! Don't forget to set your clocks ahead on Sunday, March 14th at 2am! It's Daylight Saving Time! Fun Fact: Even though many people think farming is the reason we have DLS, it was actually implemented during World War One in order to conserve energy. #DayLightSavingTime #GrassFedBeefJerky #JerkyAnyTime
