Cathy, owner of Silk Tree Farm in Exeter, RI( right on #165) really went above and beyond my expectations on my first visit today. I called 5 other businesses ( including a large butcher shop in Westerly)and couldn't locate the cut of pork I needed for an important dinner I'm putting on. Even though I reached her at 4:30pm, she suggested as I was local, that I come and look at her Heritage breed pork.
Unsmoked for this dish and no nitrates. One peek in her freezer and I was happy to add breakfast sausage and a special cut of bacon .
I was able to meet many of her farm animals! Beautiful and well cared for. I loved finding a local organic farm run by an enterprising friendly informative woman. What a great find in our rural community and her meats looked amazing. Topped off my order with Lavender body wash. Next time a soy candle.
I can't wait to cook up my pork shanks! read more
