A Quick Reminder
Place your subscription order by the 20th for pick-up, or for shipping, for the next scheduled pick-up or shipping date.
For example: to pick up in June, or to have your box shipped in June, subscribe no later than May 20th. I print all invoices on May 21st, and we begin to process on May 22nd. Any subscription orders placed after May 20th, will automatically be projected for pick-up or shipping in the month of July, and not for June.
If you must place a late order, please contact me, and I can calculate the extra weights available, in an effort to cover your late order. Otherwise, you may come to the farm, on the scheduled pick-up date and get your orders from the A-La-Cart selections.
NOTE: Call 1-760-868-6206 to check if we have a-la-cart available throughout the month. Members are always welcome to the home-farm and pick-up A-La-Cart, as available. Please call first, to schedule an appointment; to be sure someone is at the home-farm to assist.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me 1-760-868-6206

This is an old and historic ranch, which has been offered to Rainbow Ranch Farms for farming and ranching operations, using our Terroir methods.

Meat Shrink Bags - New Packaging Soon
New and improved, poultry packaging coming soon! shrink-bags.
I have wholesale prices on my website for home poultry processors that are interested in getting shrink bags in bulk. There is a lead-time, so check the details.
Turkey bags, game bird bags, chicken & rooster bags too!
Until now, I have not found them affordable on the retail market, for the small, home-processor.
The story is..the bag will keep the bird fresh-longer, and prevent freezer-burn, the seal is very tight and it presents the bird in a fashion that is more consistent with the high quality of the bird.
These bags are great for packaging cheese, poultry, squab, poussin, beef, pork, lamb, goat, turkey, salami, jerky and so much more..
Visit our General Store
The prices will go up slighly and be adjusted to reflect the paypal charges.. sometime next week.
Until next time....

Free-Range, Heritage Thanksgiving Turkeys: 2012
Turkey poults will be hatching soon. Pre-orders are guaranteed. Please visit www.rainbowranchfarms.com and log-in to order.
This year, members can choose to select turkey by size or by breed.
Turkey are limited and sell-out very quickly!
We offer several pick-up days to select from and several shipping days too! Check out the "Heritage Turkeys" page on www.rainbowranchfarms.com
We are enlisting the help of farm-members to establish a season-long, 24hr per day turkey-sitting schedule. These beauties will be monitored from day-one till they get to the dinner table. We will also be enlisting the help of farm-members volunteering to participate in processing.
To volunteer for turkey processing, you must have completed at least two (2) on-site farm poultry processing work-shops.
Remember: If you do not pre-order your turkey, before hatch, I can not guarantee to grow it for you. Pure-breed, heritage and wild turkeys, brooding, certified organic fodder, processing supplies and packaging materials, required labeling etc.. are a super-huge expense! We are unable to grow extra turkey for the heck-of-it or just incase of late orders.
Thank you for your participation and if you have any questions, please call me 1-760-868-6206.
