Icelandic Lamb
Our lamb is 100% grass-fed, grass-finished, and free of antibiotics and growth hormones. The Icelandic breed is a heritage breed, one of the oldest in the world. Our method of rotational grazing and the natural weaning of our lambs keeps our flock healthy and produces a wonderfully mild, tender and tasty product.
Our lambs go to market at approximately 6-7 months of age and are sold as whole animal or half-animal to individuals who appreciate a higher quality lamb meat product that is locally and humanely raised. Hanging weight price is $10/lb and the average animal carcass weighs 40# with 25-30# of take-home meat. In simpler terms, 30# of take-home meat costs about $420.

Grass-Finished Beef
We raise several grass-fed and grass-finished steers each year and sell the quarters in the autumn. They are hormone-free and antibiotic-free. We also feed them a small amount of transitional organic grains and lots of certified organic produce (e.g., pumpkins, cucumbers, corn, and squash) to make them happy! Please contact us to get on our email list for when we send out ordering information.

Meat birds are available for pre-order.
To order:
Please send us an email at info@bakersacresfarm.com with how many you’d like to reserve, and a check written to Bakers’ Acres, LLC (36861 Co. Rd. 9, Avon, MN 56310) for $10 per chicken. The final balance will be due at pick-up at the farm. Most customers reserve about 5 chickens. We sell out every time, so be sure to get on the list asap!
We plan to raise two flocks of chickens this season, with the first ready approximately June 20 and the second Sep 1.
- They are large, juicy and delicious!
- The birds are free to run, fly, stretch their wings, escape a bully, chase bugs, fluff in the dust, etc. They are not caged or raised inside an enclosed barn.
- They roam on our certified organic farm, on pasture (mixed hay, grass, clover – never sprayed with herbicides or pesticides), with their mobile chicken wagon. They can freely move from sun to shade or go inside or outside.
- They’re fed certified organic and transitional organic feed, which is the non-soy version, using peas instead of soy for protein.
- We do not add any of the optional medications as chicks, nor antibiotics or hormones – the birds are raised as simply as we can possibly raise them.
- The birds are processed at Nelson Shine in Brainerd so we can legally sell them to customers like you!
- Each chicken costs us on average $25 to raise, including feed, processing, buying the bird as a chick, calculating loss (there's always a few that don't make it to term), and transportation to the processor. We share these details so you can really know your food and farmers! We produce the birds for our family, and since we do the work for us anyway, we’re happy to raise birds for our community at the same time. They are large, juicy and delicious!
- Birds are processed at approximately 8-9 weeks old.

Farm-Fresh Eggs
We sell farm-fresh eggs from pasture-raised hens for $5/dozen. Their feed is certified and transitional organic – they receive no conventional feed – and they eat lots of discarded produce from the fields.
During the winter, they are often available at the Minnesota Street Market in St. Joe. During the CSA season, we typically pre-sell them to our CSA customers and deliver them with the produce boxes. If you’re interested in being one of our Egg-Share customers, let us know!
