Brian and Angela who do the pork operation here are leaving us for higher ground. They inherited 50 acres of land in North Carolina and will be moving
there sometime in spring. We need someone to step into those shoes here at Full Circle Farm, a good solid growing forest-raised pork business waiting for the right person/couple/family to take over. We do not need someone with farming experience as Brian and Angela will spend 3-4 months training the right person and ensuring a successful hand off of the business. If interested email them directly at angelabowen@gmail.com. There are different options for taking over the business which can be discussed with the right person and that include varying levels of starting capital.This is not a job but a business/partnership of your own. We have loved the time we had with Brian and Angela as they had become a part of our family. We are sad to see them move on but excited for their new opportunity and the impact they will make in North Carolina.
Please see our Products page at https://fullcirclerealfoods.com/store to view the many new products we have to offer such as: Wild Caught Florida Gator, Muscadine Grapes, Perssimons and Organic/Soy Free Stewing Hens. A note about the persimmons: Little River Organics is picking them now! Sweet, ripe, juicy and bursting with flavor and zero chemicals in the growing process, these can be frozen for eating as pop sickles later, our kids love them that way. Saijo, smaller egg sized fruits are available shortly and larger heart shape Tannenashi will come towards Oct into Nov...Since the fruits mature gradually.. order early and orders will be filled as they become available...Frozen persimmons are available for sale, now, for local customers.
Barn apartment available temporarily. We are not presently using our barn apartment here on the farm so want to make this available to visitors. If you have ever wanted to come and spend a few days this is your chance, email thisisdennis@windstream.net for details. This is a rough apartment, slightly better than camping, nothing fancy.

Here is a picture of our happy pigs out foraging in the woods. We believe this is what creates a superior taste and quality for our pork as the pigs are rotated to fresh land every 3-7 days and never return to the same piece of land they were on throughout their life. Also, we take it a step further and let the land rest for 6 months so that it can regenerate and regrow for the next group of pigs to pass through. Our pigs get 50% of their feed from the land and the other 50% is supplemented with Non-GMO feed. We never use any growth hormones, antibiotics or de-wormers. Instead we use natural options such as charcoal, apple cider vinegar, etc. and we have seen great results with this process. We encourage you to try one of our pork options with your next order and believe you will be very satisfied.

Dennis and Alicia
