For Iron Farm Meat Market, "farm fresh" is not the gold standard.  On the contrary, it is merely the minimum basic requirement for meat producers seeking to provide high-quality meat. The company prides itself on raising cattle, pigs, and chickens in the best possible environment. The result: good quality meat worthy of the consumer's trust. Update: Their retail store has closed. They are now only selling beef by whole, half,  or quarter and by appointment only.

The family farm sells blueberries fresh from the bush. Like most berry farms, Henderson Blueberry Farm also offers 'pick-your-own berries. The farm started in 1991 when Bob Henderson decided to plant blueberries in the property. Then, in 1995, he decided to sell them. With a steady stream of people, friends, and word of mouth, the farm became victorious over the years. In 2007, the founder of the farm passed away. Today, Bob's Son cares for the farm and continues his father's legacy. He continues to plan and sell blueberries that are free from pesticides and chemicals. They have three different kinds of berries: Tif blue, Brightwell, and Premier. Be sure to mark your calendar for a visit between early June to mid-July to get the freshest berries!
