This is a special Summer Retail "POP UP" from a Baldy Beef named "Garden Call" 210H.
** Please read ADDITIONAL INFO SECTIONS, to understand More**
This Cow, "Garden Call" 210H is here 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 another 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 "Garden Call" will still have a designated on farm pick up time and you will be sure to receive the needed informative emails and texts to confirm your On Farm Pick Up.
We plan on starting the first round of on farm pick ups for "Garden Call" orders on Sunday August 26th and will go through Sunday August 2nd.
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 ground beef 1 pound 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

Often, a few of these will be met, but it is unique to find a farm offering a live animal custom beef with all 11.
Foothill Frolic Farm does not farm the way we do to be able to offer a high end niche product.
We set out to farm custom beefs the way we farm because we know ecosystems: (a community of living organisms and their physical environment that interact with each other.) need to be resilient and to be resilient all parts of the ecosystem need to be able to be pure as possible. We want the best for all parts of ecosystems and farming the way we do is the only way we can foresee farming!!
We have always been inspired by the environmental pioneer, Aldo Leopold's Land Ethic and I like to think that Foothill Frolic Farm embodies the Land Ethic principles.....
Aldo Leopold's environmental stance, known as the land ethic, is a philosophy that prioritizes the well-being of the Earth's biotic community. It encourages people to care for the land as much as they care for people.
Key tenets of the land ethic:
-
Respect the community: Humans are part of the biotic community, not its conqueror.
-
Consider the whole: The land ethic considers the relationships between soil, water, plants, animals, and people.
-
Limit actions: To achieve an ecological ethic, people must limit their actions to benefit coexistence between humans and the natural world.
-
Use the land responsibly: Use the land with love and respect.
