Farm Tour: Richardson Farms
Date: October 24st 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Location:Richardson Farms
Is pastured meat different? Better? More flavorful? And if
so, why? Slow Food Austin is going to visit area expert livestock farmers Jim
and Kay Richardson to find out.
The Richardson family has been farming for generations. On
their Rockdale farm Jim and Kay Richardson raise wholesome meats in time-tested
natural ways, grinding the corn grown on-farm for their pigs, raising their
beef cattle solely on grass, pasturing chickens for eggs and broilers, and
producing all-natural turkeys for area holiday tables.
October's cooler weather is perfect for savoring
slow-roasted meats, and high time to reserve your holiday turkey! Tour
participants will redeem their $20 tickets at the farm for a selection of the
Richardson's natural pastured meats, and we'll see the farm and have plenty of
opportunity to ask our hosts about their production methods and how best to
cook their meat. Join us October 24 from 10-1.
