Currently, we operate as an “old fashioned” store.  Just as your grandparents would have handed the grocer their list to fill it, so you can e-mail (bakersgreenacres@yahoo.com) or phone (231-825-0293) your order to us.  We will fill it and contact you regarding pick-up/delivery.  We do offer delivery service to your door in the Cadillac area for a $5.00 fee.   

Mangalitsa Hogs

Mangalitsa Hogs are a fat-type hog prized for the premium quality of the specialty sausages and hams (prosciutto) that  it can produce.  The fat of an acorn finished hog is renowned for its low saturated fat quality and its usefulness as a food dish in itself.  Our hogs  are raised to maturity on dirt and grass to promote the best in flavor and texture in the meat.  They are finished on a small-grain diet, which creates the fat desireable in charcouterie.  We will have a small group of premium quality hogs finished on acorns, making them comparable to the Spanish Iberico hogs. Finished hogs weigh between 250 lb. and 300 lb.  Carcasses are scalded and scraped and include the head and hooves.  Prices are for carcass hanging weight and do not include delivery, please call for a quote.

Naturally raised Chickens

"Chicken Tractors": the chickens' mobile pasture home.
Chicken Tractors:” the birds’ mobile pasture home.

Our chickens are raised cage-free, fed a diet that is free of antibiotics, growth stimulants, and animal by-products.  They receive alfalfa leaf through the winter and are on pasture through the summer to add sun-based sources of Vitamins A & D and Omega-3’s into their diet.  We process them in our MDA approved on-farm facility to minimize stress on the birds.  All cuts are vacuum packed.

Smoked Chicken

(Sorry, currently out of stock.  Please let us know if you’re interested so we can plan for this fall.)

Our own tasty smoked chicken, brined in our own recipe and hardwood smoked so it’s juicy and tender.  A slightly pink color in the fully cooked meat shows that flavorful smoke.  When we tried the first one, it looked like a cartoon where all the characters descend on a beautifully roasted brown bird and when they back off nothing is left but a stripped carcass.  Whole birds make a great holiday treat.  Legs & thighs will feed your hungry hunters a tasty lunch or a healthy snack out in the stand.  Our tasters say:

“This is the best chicken I’ve ever eaten in my life!”  LaVerne Miller

“I just can’t stop eating this stuff!”  Kyle Baker

“It was fantastic.  The flavor went all the way through.  Sometimes it’s just on top in the skin, but this had flavor all the way to the bone.”    Joel Clark

“The meat was absolutely succulent.”  Mandy Clark

Chevon

(Sorry, currently out of stock.  Please let us know if you’re interested and we’ll restock as soon as possible.)

Chevon, otherwise known as goat meat,  is one of the healthiest meats from the farm.  Low in saturated fats and cholesterol, and high in iron, the meat is tasty and good for you.  Goats are browsers when given opportunity (as any owner of wayward goats and young trees can tell you), which provides them with a mineral rich diet.  Please see our article about Chevon for more information.  We can process your goat for you for a stress-free kill if you choose.  Cuts are available on a limited basis, please inquire.

Custom meat processing

We are able to process your chickens, turkeys, rabbits, goats, and sheep in our shop.  We do process venison as well.  We are MDA licensed and USDA custom exempt inspected.  We do vacuum pack larger animals. Poultry and rabbits go in 3 mil freezer bags but are not vacuum sealed.  Our mixes for smoked meats, sausage (breakfast and german), hotdogs, and brats are our own and contain NO MSG or synthetic nitrates.

Ducks: whole, skinned: $5.00

Rabbits: $5.00 each

Deer: $65.00, vac packed free

Goat and Sheep: $70.00

Eggs

Our hens are fed a wholesome diet that excludes antibiotics and animal byproducts.  The hens have full access to the outside so they can enjoy scratching in sun warmed dirt (and grass as the season permints) as they were meant to. They receive alfalfa meal or hay chaff left over from the goats during these winter months to keep their eggs full of the goodness of green.  You can see this in the orange color of the yolk.  Eggs laid by “pastured” hens such as ours have a reputation for being lower in cholesterol and higher in Omega-3 fatty acids.  Eggs are good for 100 days under refridgeration, but ours are delivered to you as fresh as possible so that they are the best quality. 

1 dozen:  $3.00

We are able to ship in Michigan, please call for a shipping quote.  We do sell from the farm, and have drop points.  We also have several retail outlets.  Currently our store is “old fashioned.”  Give us your shopping list.  We will then fill it and arrange for a pick-up.
