National Farm Animals Day
April 10th is National Farm Animals Day1, and what better way to honor the occasion than by spotlighting our dedicated meat vendor, Deep Roots Meat? They are committed to providing high-quality, ethically raised meats, and they’ll be at the market this week on 4/10!
As sixth-generation Florida cattle ranchers, the Platt family raises livestock like nature intended—on pasture, with fresh air, sunshine, and a natural diet. Their animals, including pasture-raised poultry, heritage-breed pigs, grass-fed Katahdin-influenced lambs, and forage-fed cattle, thrive in rotational grazing systems without antibiotics, hormones, or artificial additives. Learn more about their practices here. This commitment to ethical, sustainable farming results in nutrient-rich, flavorful meats available at our market on the second Thursday of each month.2
Deep Roots Meat makes bringing their farm-fresh products to your table easy, offering convenient pre-orders to ensure availability—especially for their highly sought-after eggs. Place Your Order Here!
They also provide custom half and whole-animal harvests, processed to your preference. If you’d like to see their sustainable practices firsthand, don’t miss their Farm Tour in May!
