As we have finished up on our 4 week Jonesborough Farmer's Market run, and have entered into our 26/27 Custom Beef Season, any of the retail beef cuts from both "Garden Call" and Magic Mamma" that did not completely sell out at the Jonesborough Market has now been added to Foothill Frolic Farm's Online Beef Shop for convenient pre-order and evening on-farm pick up.
We very much enjoyed the four Saturday's we had at the Jonesborough Farmer's Market. We met a lot of new families and faces and very much enjoyed getting to visit with friends and folks we already knew. The dynamic of selling our retail Beef and talking about our specific farming practices along with the new talks of our Farm and Forest School kept us bright and always engaged. We made some good connections and are so excited to continue weaving all the materials and landscapes and energies together from the land base of what we know of Foothill Frolic Farm. We do hope that all of you continue to stay in touch by either being custom beef customers, mailing list readers, school founding community building year families, or Summer retail beef on farm pick up customers.
We love all the connections that have been made and the connections that continue to be made because MOST IMPORTANTLY all these connections are grounded in the support of....
LOCAL Farming
Local Community
LOCAL (organically raised & grown) FOODS
Local Farmland Preservation
AND this is why we are here doing what we are doing!!
FOOTHILL FROLIC FARMING IN THE PRESS
A lot of you might have already seen, but we had some great press releases over the last weeks.
Both in the Johnson City Press and the Kingsport Times News.
One article was on the Farm and Forest School....the other was on the topic of local farming and local farmland staying farmland...

HOW SUMMER RETAIL BEEF ON FARM PICK UP WORKS
"Magic Mamma" L24 and "Garden Call" 210H are available NOW for our SUMMER Harvest Season by the CUT-POUND-RETAIL.
This Beef Product Offering will allow customers to PreOrder Foothill Frolic Farm Beef Products singly-by the PACKAGE/POUND and not as a PreOrder Live Animal Custom Beef.
We are using the New Appalachian Producers Cooperative just outside of Jonesborough, because our much loved and always used Family owned Processor/Butcher, Rusell Meat, is only a 100% VDACS certified custom beef facility. Nonetheless, and on a bright note, we have really appreciated and enjoyed working with APC and their crew and the state of the art, new processing equipment and their humane cattle handling practices!! This is the second time we have used them and each and every time they are working to make the butchering experience better.
When we offer our beef in this format, processing services from APC, USDA inspected beefs are higher and our prices are higher, so in turn overall costs of beef cuts by the pound are higher. For demonstration purposes, these price differences effectively show the comparative prices in between Foothill Frolic Farm's beef sold by the pound and our live animal custom beef shares.
These Pre-Orders from "Magic Mamma" and "Garden Call" will still have a designated on farm pick up time as you will be able to enter in when you place your order what date within the following dates your chosen pick up day will be.
We plan on starting the first round of on farm pick ups for orders on Sunday July 26th and will go through Friday July 31st.
Pick Up Time Daily during this time runs from 6:30pm - 7:30pm.
The Second Round of Pick Ups will start on August 28th and run through September 6th (Labor Day Weekend).
Pick Up time Daily during this time runs form 6:30 pm- 7:30 pm.
Final Cost of Beef Cuts that ARE NOT the straight forward 1 pound ground beef packages, like Soup Bones for Example, will be determined by Weight, so all prices on PreOrders are estimated by approximate poundage of the certain beef cut.
Customers final end price will be determined at Pick Up.
CASH or CHECK accepted manually at OnFarm Pick Up
CHECKS payable to Foothill Frolic Farm
