CHICKEN, BEEF and LAMB - oh my! We raise healthy animals at Bowers School Farm so buy local. There are regular specials that pop up in the store, so stop by often to take advantage of this hyper local protein source! | We have 6 beef boxes, which you can reserve now and pick up in October. Beef prices are on the rise so this is a great way to save some money. Split with a friend if you're looking to have a smaller load to take home.
RESERVE YOUR MEAT BOX HERE |

Looking for something specific - we may have it in our freezer - please email Kate Bell kbell@bloomfield.org. Keep an eye on social media for meat specials.
