Local Farms

Many farms in Catawba and the neighboring counties welcome visitors to their farms with tours or special events. Plan an outing to u-pick berries in the summer, or in the fall choose your perfect pumpkin right out of the patch. Farm stores and stands are open in season with meat, produce, and artisan products for sale. Purchasing a CSA share of a farm’s harvest is another way to connect with a farm. On-farm pickup is usually available so you can visit and get to know more about the farm.

Buying Local Meats

Picture
There are many reasons to buy local meats. Farmers want to make you happy by providing a fresh, quality product, they want to make their animals happy by providing a good life of clean water, food, and shelter, and meat production helps families  keep land in agricultural use.

​To source local  meat, you can visit your farmers market, local  farm stores or stands or contact nearby farmers  to place an order or to buy a  quarter, half or  full animal. Many types of meat are available,  such as pastured chicken, eggs and  pork, grass-fed/pastured beef, lamb,  and mutton, and value-added meat  products such as sausage, cured meats,  and beef jerky.
