Happy
New Year’s greetings from Greg and Laurie Newhall of Windy N Ranch in
Ellensburg. This is our first of the year update on our upcoming
products. We have some nice changes going on here. Our son and
daughter-in-law, Bradley and Lisha Newhall, have recently moved to the area and
will become involved in the ranch operations, which we couldn’t be happier
with. They are needed in the expansion we are going through.

Product
Availability:
We will have a limited amount of Certified Organic pastured pork available this
spring followed by a sizeable increase in availability this fall. Our
grassfed beef, grassfed lamb and grassfed goat will be available this
fall. Free range Freedom Ranger meat chickens are available now and
throughout the year as well as our delicious chicken eggs. For those of
you who don’t want to trek out to our ranch we have recently begun selling our
eggs at Better Life Natural Foods at 111 West 6th Avenue here in
Ellensburg.

Orders: I encourage you to
get your orders in by this spring, as I expect to sell out of some of our
products by April. You can place your reservation online at http://www.shop.windynranch.com/
with a credit card or print the order form at http://www.windynranch.com/Order_Form.html,
fill it out and mail in a check. We still working on altering the web
page to make it possible to fill the form out online then print it. A
$100 deposit is all we need to secure your order in each category; turkey,
chicken and eggs are less.

Tours: As most all of you
know, I am a big proponent of tours of our ranch so you can see how we operate
and treat our animals. This allows a connection with your food source
that you simply cannot get any other way and gives you the confidence in
sourcing clean food.

Clean:
No feeding of antibiotics, no growth hormones,
no ionophores, no meat glue (yes, they are gluing meat), no herbicides, no
pesticides, just the grass we grow and certified organic feed for the
non-ruminants (pigs and chickens). We are headed toward a Certified
Organic designation for our entire ranch.

Books: Joel Salatin’s new book, Folks This Ain't Normal is an interesting read.
Questions, Suggestions, Complaints: Ordering in quantity may be new for some of you. We are
happy to assist with any questions, suggestions, and requests you might
have. If you think we can improve a service for you please call to
discuss. We strive the do the best job we can in producing the highest
caliber food for you and your family and appreciate your support.

name on to your family, friends and food enthusiasts.
