We welcomed the early Spring this year and have been productive on the farm for the last month and a half.
This season you can find Rainbow Farm products at the Lewisburg Farmers Market on Saturdays. We will be in the Church/Post Office parking lot until the end of April, and then hopefully relocating to the county lot on 219 and Arbuckle in May. We will keep you posted as this progresses.
You can also shop online with Turnrow (with deliveries to Lewisburg, Talcott, Union, Charleston, and Huntington every week year round). Local businesses that carry our products are; Swift Level Fine Meats, The Local Cafe & Grocer (opening in May at Montwell Commons), Edith's Store. Below is a summary of our offerings for 2019.

On the day of processing we will be selling the chickens fresh for $3.25/lb pick up on the farm. Frozen whole chickens will be for sale for $4.00-4.50/lb (depending on size). We will continue to cut-up chickens and sell pieces (breasts, thighs, wings, ect.). Chicken pieces will continue to be available frozen; prices for pieced chicken can be found on our website.
Our hens continue to be raised in the mobile coop that we pull around our fields to fertilize the grass and allow the chickens access to fresh forage. Eggs are still $4.00/dozen.
Our high tunnel will again be devoted to tomatoes and basil during the summer season. We will have an even mix of cherry and slicer type tomatoes, all delicious and all fresh! Come mid July, we will have lots of our strong and tasty garlic to offer. We should also have an abundance of blueberries for sale starting in mid-late June.
We have 5 rapidly growing pigs that will be ready to process soon. If you are interested in a half or whole pig let us know. We have piglets for sale to pick up in early June.
P.S. Our winter trip this year was to Baja, Mexico where we rode our motorcycles up and down the peninsula bouncing from one coast to the other. We made videos of our motorcycle adventure; they can be found HERE.
