Please note that Peeler Farms has a new email address: peelerfarms@ymail.com. Please use this email address if you are interested in pre-ordering chicken or eggs. We take pre-orders for the Saturday Pearl Farmers Market on Thursdays.
At Peeler Farms we had a very busy fall and holiday season. The biggest news is the completion and approval of our processing facility. This will be a big step for the farm! It gives us more freedom on types of birds, sizes and cuts. We are specializing in Jumbo Cornish X but will still be raising the Freedom Rangers (red birds) in smaller quantities. I have added new laying hens and will be offering stewing hens soon. These will be great for soups and stock. Please check our product and price lists with new additions and price updates. Egg production should pick up soon…springtime and longer days will help. If you are set on Peeler Farms eggs, please text or email me your order by Thursday. Also, chickens breasts and livers seem to go fast so (again) pre-order is the best way to go.
Top Chef Texas: San Antonio
It wasn’t a mistake…you did actually see several of the vendors from the Pearl Market on Top Chef Texas last week. It was a really fun experience to watch the behind the scenes of Top Chef. We filmed in the summer and have been patiently waiting for the episode to air on Bravo. Peeler Farms was represented very well with chicken and eggs. As my son put it, we came in 2nd and 3rd and 4th.
Run by L&M Beef and get some of Linda’s beef cheeks, which won the taste challenge for that episode. My vote is for Paul Qui from Austin…he did use Peeler Farms chicken!
Local Restaurants serving local foods:
We have been working very closely with many new restaurants in town. It seems the “trend” of local and humanely raised foods is becoming more standard. Please try to support these local restaurants when eating out. They work very hard to come to the farmers markets and purchase our products to serve them in the restaurants. It is more expensive and time-consuming for them to do this which really shows their dedication to supporting local farmers. Some of the restaurants include: Restaurant Gwendolyn (which now has a booth at the Pearl Farmers Market serving soups, breads..among many other things), Luke, Feast, Sustenio and The Monterey..just to name a few because there are many more….
Some of my new favorite things are: raw milk from Miller Farms in Lacoste, Texas; Butternut squash soup and the mustard seeds from Restaurant Gwendolyn..you can buy them at the markets on Saturday; the brussel sprouts at The Monterey..get them now because they will be out of season soon and Peeler Farms chicken wings…I know they are my product but I hadn’t cooked them until SuperBowl weekend and they were really good!
I will be posting more specials on Peeler Farms facebook page this week. Just like Peeler Farms and you can get the latest Saturday specials and recipes from local chefs. Please feel free to send any recipes that have turned out “fantastic” with Peeler Farms products. I will gladly post them on the facebook page and website.
See you at the market! Marianna
