Choose Nutrient-Dense Meat from Bent Limb Farm

Bent Limb Farm, in Shoemakersville, has pasture-raised, nutrient-dense, non-GMO pork, lamb and chicken, as well as eggs from pasture-raised chickens. The farm store is open Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and by appointment.

“Healthy animals, raised humanely, provide the healthiest and cleanest meat,” says owner Pam Ellenberger. “You can be assured that the meat from our farm is nutritionally dense and has incredible flavor. Nutrient-dense food helps support healthy immune systems. In the arena of a mostly plant-based diet, we feel that the meat that you do eat should be the best available and are proud to offer this to you.”
