Customer Spotlight :: The Odell Family of Springfield
We’d been buying craft beef back in Michigan for about 10 years. Once we moved to Springfield, finding a new meat farm was a top priority, but we had to fall back on grocery store meat for a short while. It was highly motivating…the flavor and texture of Blue Silo Beef is just so much better. I love buying from a farm I can trust to not put junk in my food.

Growing Farm-Raised Chicken, Part 2
It feels like just yesterday 100 little fluff balls arrived at the farm in a cardboard box from a local hatchery. Fast forward 51 days and those same chicks are now fully-feathered birds weighing over 6 lbs. Unlike beef and pork that we harvest year-round, our growing season for farm-raised chicken is from March through November. That means the best time to buy and stock up is when our freezers are full during the growing season.
