Cordray Farms is heading into our last month of normal retail hours! Stop by soon!

Hello, Friends of Cordray Farms!
It's hard to imagine, but we are rounding the corner on 2011 with just 4 1/2 more weeks of regular hours in our on-farm store. For those of you new to us, we are open with a fully stocked meat case 9 to 9 Monday - Saturday and Sunday evenings 6 pm to 9 pm during deer season, Aug. 15 to Jan. 1.  (We'll be here Jan 2 to 7th, but by then the store is mostly done. We're just helping folks pick up their venison orders.) After that, it's by appointment only.  As we approach this last month, we've restocked and I thought I'd get you up to speed on what's available.

Cordray Farms Beef:
In the meat case, we have lots of fully cooked smoked beef items. These are our same recipes from the delicious venison products we make, but these are made of our homegrown beef.
Snack Sticks - plain, cheese or cheese and jalapeno
Summer Sausage - plain, cheese or cheese and jalapeno
Smoked Sausage - Cheddarwurst or Peppers and Cheddar
Beef jerky - pepper or teriyaki

In the freezer case, we have steaks of all kinds - T-bones, Porterhouse, Ribeyes, Bone-in Sirloins, cube steak, and a good selection of beef roasts. Hamburger is out right now, but we may make more before the end of the year, I'll let you know.
We have raw frozen ground meat for your dog and frozen dog bones, too. If you haven't tried it, you'll be surprised at the quiet time that can buy you!!

Pork: We've just made a new batch of applewood smoked bacon. This time we've sliced it a few different ways - thin or thick sliced or thick sliced with the skin still on! It freezes well, so think about stocking up!
We're taking reservations for fully cooked applewood smoked hams for Christmas now. We've got  halves and slices in the case as well. Cordray Brothers linked sausage, maple sausage links, and Italian links fill up the last available corner!

Remember, Cordray Farms Beef comes only from cows born and raised on our farm. That's why we sometimes have to disappoint you and say the next beef won't be until later in the year. We're taking reservations for the first Cordray Farms Beef harvest of 2012 which should be in February. Visit our website for more info. on reserving Shares and Sides. All the pork we sell comes from NC pork farms and we make and smoke everything right here. The only food we sell that we don't make here is that scrumptious Red Rind Cheese from Wisconsin. We sell it because we love it!   If you're looking for something specific, drop me a note and I'll check on it for you!

PS on reading this over - I need to amend. We don't make the Snickers, MoonPies or sodas here, but they're not food anyway!
Hope you'll stop by soon!

Wondering why we keep posting these missing persons lists?


If these folks don't come and pick up their orders, we can't sell them for the processing fee. The SC Rules and Regs book puts it this way...

Deer processors should recognize that it is unlawful to sell deer meat to regain the processing fee for deer deer that have not been picked- up by the owner (50-11-1910). The best practice is to take a deposit for the processing service when deer are left at the facility. If meat is not picked-up by the owner, it can be given to another individual at no charge. pg. 30 Rules and Regulations

We've never required a deposit because it would get WAY complicated to take the deposit from whoever left the deer, but credit it to whoever picked it up and paid for it. Right now, we require a deposit if you have a bad history with us, but we count on everyone else to honor their word and pick up the work they hired us to do. So if you know any of our missing persons, please contact them.It is possible that we don't have correct contact information and they don't know their order is here.  Ask them to come on by or even to give their order to you!
