Here on the farm we are well and healthy. We are doing our best to carry on with daily activities such as fixing fence and other farm duties. We’ve been packing and delivering a lot of meat orders and enjoy answering emails and phone calls so you can get what you need.



I can only imagine how the coronavirus epidemic is affecting some of you as we deal with the restrictions and not being able to go to work.

 It is neat to see how so many of you are reaching out to help others through this hard time.

Are you like me and find it is necessary to keep my mind focused on good things so I don't become fearful about the world's problems and how it may affect me?

Right before I made the video above, our neighbors came by pulling a little cart and picking up trash along the road. I thought that was pretty neat how they were using their time stuck at home to do something very useful for the community.

That inspired me to share a few thoughts on ways we can engage and be focused on helping other people.

1. Find a neighbor that might need some help with some outdoor yard chores. It would be a fun way to interact in a safer way by being outside.

I have enjoyed helping my aunt with her garden. Also, helping my grandpa work on a repair project he had.

2. Give someone a phone call just to chat and see how they're doing.

I had a fun opportunity to call and chat with an older gentleman I know in the nursing home. I think it really cheered him up just to get a phone call and have someone to talk with since they are isolated there.

3. Take a little time to Click Here and write a Google review about your experience with The Maker’s Meadow. This will really help other folks who are searching for a good source of healthy food.

We still have a good Supply of meat to deliver to folks in need, especially things like..

Ground Turkey, Turkey Drumsticks, and Turkey Wings.

Lamb Shoulder Roast, Lamb Rib Roast, and Leg of Lamb.

Beef Chuck Roast, Beef Arm Roast, and Beef Rump Roast.



Wishing you peace joy and love as we share in the name of Jesus.

Know Your Beef: Understanding the Difference Between Our Premium and Standard Offerings

If you've been following our journey, you know that transparency and trust are at the heart of everything we do here at The Maker's Meadow. As more folks look closely at where their food comes from, I want to take a moment to explain the key differences between our Premium and Standard beef offerings. While both are far removed from conventional feedlot beef, they’re not the same—and that’s intentional. Here’s what you need to know: 🥩 Premium Beef Raised Right Here on Our Farm Our Premium beef is the gold standard—regeneratively raised by our own hands, with full control over every step of the process. These animals roam freely on diverse pasture, nurtured by nature. ✅ What It’s Free From: 🌾 GMOs – No genetically modified feed or seed. 💉 Steroids & Hormones – Never used to enhance growth. 💊 Antibiotics – Absolutely none, ever. 💉 Vaccines – Not administered; we focus on natural immunity. ☠️ Chemicals – No synthetic dewormers, pesticides, or sprays once they arrive on our farm. However, they may be exposed to chemicals as calves prior to arriving. 🌍 Regenerative Practices – Always improving soil, water, and wildlife health. 🟢 Best for: Those seeking the cleanest, most natural beef available—with full transparency and minimal environmental impact. 🍔 Standard Beef Sourced from a Trusted Farming Partner Our Standard beef is still raised with integrity—on pasture, with humane care—from Marksbury Farm in Lexington, Kentucky, who shares our commitment to better meat. But since it’s not under our direct stewardship, there are a few important differences. ✅ What It’s Free From: 🌾 GMOs 💉 Steroids & Hormones 💊 Antibiotics ⚠️ What We Can’t Guarantee: ☠️ Chemicals – Possible use of synthetic dewormers or pasture treatments. 💉 Vaccines – May be used as part of herd health protocols. 🟡 Best for: Customers looking for a high-quality, pasture-raised option at a more accessible price point, but who may not require the same level of purity as our Premium line. 🤝 Why Offer Both? Raising truly regenerative beef is deeply rewarding—but also labor-intensive and limited in scale. By offering both Premium and Standard options, we’re able to: Serve more families and communities Support other responsible farmers Stay true to our values of honesty and health Whether you choose Premium or Standard, you’re rejecting factory farming and supporting a future where soil, animals, and people thrive together. 💬 Have Questions? I’m always here to talk. When you know your farmer, you know your food—and I’m grateful to walk this path with you. 📧 Reach out anytime: support@makersmeadow.com Eat well and stay grounded.
