Start Fresh With Acorn Acres Farm in the New Year š„āØ
Kick off 2025 with a fresh start!
Shopping locally for fresh produce, meats, and dairy encourages you to eat better, high-quality, nutrient-dense food that is in tune with the seasons.
Our produce is grown naturally and harvested fresh from our small family farm. Our grass-fed, pasture-raised meats are humanely produced without harmful additives. We like to say you'll taste the difference! šš±
While we still carry fresh produce throughout the winter, growing slows down quite a bit due to the colder weather and shorter days. We always encourage our customers to preserve what you can and utilize all scraps (even veggies) to make things like nutritious bone broth. š²š
Letās make this a year of flourishing together!
