Farmhand Foods

FARMHAND FOODS OPENS FOR BUSINESS New Company To Connect North Carolina Livestock Farmers with Consumers, Retailers and Restaurants October 18, 2010 (Durham, NC) – The Triangle food community will soon welcome an ambitious new company focused on delivering high quality local meats to area food lovers, retailers and restaurants. Farmhand Foods sources from a network of North Carolina pasture-based farms and does the legwork necessary to get fresh cuts of pork, beef and other specialty meat products to market. One aspect of their venture, a mobile Sausage Wagon serving handcrafted sausages and other specialties, makes its debut on October 28th. “We started Farmhand Foods to dramatically increase local market access for North Carolina’s pasture-based livestock farmers,” says Jennifer Curtis, Co-Founder. “Farmhand Foods is the kind of business our state needs—entrepreneurs who can tap into the excitement about local food in metropolitan areas like Durham to support farmers and other businesses in rural communities,” says Henry McKoy, NC Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Community Development. Farmhand Foods’ network of pasture-based farm suppliers initially includes Parker Farm (Orange County), Triple B Farm (Granville County), Leigh Farm (Martin County), and the NC Natural Hog Growers Association based in Duplin County. The company purchases whole animals and handles all logistics, processing, distribution, marketing, and sales necessary to provide local wholesale buyers with a consistent, hiqh-quality supply of local beef and pork. “It’s not always easy to sell all the animals I raise or to find a market for all parts of the animal,” says Bailey Newton, Triple B Farm. “That’s why I joined Farmhand Foods’ Producer Network. It lets me focus on farming but stay connected to the folks enjoying my meat.” “We are passionate about supporting family farms and building a sustainable food system in North Carolina. Farmhand Foods pays farmers fairly and conducts business with transparency so that our customers know exactly where their food comes from and how it was raised,” says Tina Prevatte, Co-Founder. Farmhand Foods will celebrate its opening and the Sausage Wagon’s first night in business with a special event on Thursday October 28th from 5:30-8:30pm at Fullsteam Brewery in Downtown Durham. The public is invited to enjoy free live music with sausages and beer available for purchase. “The Sausage Wagon is a fun and interactive way for us to introduce our brand, our products and our farmers to area food lovers,” says Curtis. The wagon plans to roam Durham and the Triangle with regular weekly stops at the Farmers’ Market, Fullsteam and other high traffic locations. The mobile eatery will serve an assortment of sausage sandwiches and other items created by local chef Drew Brown, co-founder of Durham’s Piedmont restaurant. Area diners can find the whereabouts of the wagon at www.farmhandfoods.com. While the Sausage Wagon may be the public’s first taste of Farmhand Foods, the company will soon offer fresh cuts of local, pasture-raised pork, beef and other specialty items to area retailers and restaurants. The company expects these operations to begin in early 2011. “Farmhand Foods is helping to build our state’s local food economy by opening up market opportunities for small-scale meat producers. We’re excited to be a part of launching this important new business,” says Dr. Nancy Creamer, Director, Center for Environmental Farming Systems (CEFS). In addition to support from CEFS to incubate Farmhand Foods, funding for the launch is being provided by the North Carolina Rural Center’s Economic Innovation Program, the North Carolina Tobacco Trust Fund, and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.

Explanation Of The Blue-Eyed Gene In Goats

In goats, blue eyes are a dominant trait. If a buck doesn't have blue eyes (even though his parents do), he does NOT "carry" the blue-eyed gene. He is no more likely to produce blue-eyed offspring than is a brown-eyed buck with no blue-eyed ancestor anywhere in the pedigree. One parent must have blue-eyes for the offspring to have a chance at being blue-eyed. The fact you can get brown-eyed offspring from two blue-eyed parents show that brown is recessive or the color that can be "carried". A carrier means that even though you can't see the trait, they can still produce that trait. Remember basic genetics. If the goat has two genes for the dominant trait (blue-eyes in this discussion), the goat will have the trait and all of its offspring will also have the trait. If the goat received one dominant gene and one recessive gene, it will have the dominant trait, blue-eyes, but each of its offspring will have a 50/50 shot on whether it gets the dominant (blue eyes) or recessive (brown eyes) gene. If theý get both recessive traits, brown-eyes, they will display that trait and will only pass on the recessive trait for that gene. If two blue-eyed parents produce a brown-eyed kid, you know both fall into the middle type (1 dominant and 1 recessive). Because to be brown-eyed you had to get that from each parent, all you have is the brown-eyed gene so despite the parents, the goat can only pass on what it has which is brown eye genes. Tom E. Rucker
