WE’RE A SMALL, LOCAL, FAMILY-OWNED FARM

Our Farm is nestled along the Rio Grande Bosque in Albuquerque, NM. We're purveyors of free-range eggs, grass-fed beef, and grain-fed heritage pork. We are glad to be a part of providing whole, real, good food to our neighbors.

Eat Together

For centuries, the table has served as a place for building community among family, friends and neighbors. We hope to encourage the forgotten communion that takes place with good food & fellowship.

WHAT FOLKS ARE SAYIN’

HOW WE RAISE’EM

You are what you eat…and so are the animals. We offer only 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef. Our hogs are fed only the best grains and greens. Never ever left-overs. Does it make a difference? Oh yeah, it does. Give our meat a try and you’ll never look back.

 

Grass-fed Beef

Back to Pasture. We graze our cattle on rich, natural and drought-resistant grasses that are good for the cattle and good for the environment.

Our grasses vary, but we are currently grazing our cattle on a hardy fescue grass called Drover. The cows love it, and it’s a good grass choice for our climate.  We never treat our cattle with hormones, antibiotics or growth promoting additives; but they do enjoy the salt-lick. Our cattle enjoy low stress lives and are healthy and happy, which is good for them and good for you.

We offer full- and half-sides of beef at $7.95 / lb hanging weight. It is double wrapped, packaged for the freezer and delivered to you.

Grain-fed Heritage Pork At Sweet Mercy Farms, we raise heritage breed Yorkshire and Hampshire hogs. We feed them only grains: barley, wheat, oats and alfalfa. Because we never slop our hogs, the meat is tender, juicy, lean and delicious. We don’t use any hormones or antibiotics on our animals, nor pesticides or herbicides on our pastures.

Does it make a difference? Oh yeah…taste and see!

Free-range Eggs

It’s really amazing to have chickens and finally understand what all those idioms mean. “She rules the roost;” or “there’s a definite pecking order;” “he’s hen-pecked;”  “the children are coming home to roost;” “going to bed with the chickens;”  “don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched;” and my favorite: “running around like a chicken with its head cut off.”

Who knew where these sayings came from or what they mean? I certainly did not, but every once in a while when I’m walking amongst the chickens, one of these sayings will pop into my head…and make complete sense.

Our free-range chickens have complete rule of the roost, and live a very happy and productive life; which makes for delicious, healthy, robust eggs!
