Bloomers Family Farm

Practices

Bloomers Family Farm raises animals from birth, focusing on hormone- and gluten-free production. They offer homegrown meat, eggs, and locally sourced products through their farm store. Prepared meals, including baked beans, beef chili, and buffalo chicken mac & cheese, are made locally by MamaSim. The farm emphasizes dry-aging beef for 21 days and provides options to swap cuts (e.g., stir-fry strips for ground beef). Customization is available for gift baskets and bulk purchases.

Offerings

The farm store sells whole, half, and quarter cows (hanging weights 680–920lbs, 340–460lbs, and 170–230lbs, respectively). Packages include steaks (2 per package), ground beef (1–2lb), and options to swap cuts. Angus Cross Beef, Open-Range Chicken, and Heritage Pork are available. Prepared meals, gift baskets (starting at $50), and pantry items are also offered. Online ordering and in-person visits are supported.
