Pork Chop Samples

We will be offering pork chop samples at the Asheboro Farmer's market this Saturday morning. Enjoy your Holiday weekend with a one of a kind cook out item of pastured raised and naturally grown pork chops. Bone-in pork chops are packed 4 to a pack and are $4.50 a pound. We have boneless pork chops too and they are also packed 4 to a pack and are $6.00 a pound. For the best quality in taste, slow cooking is recommended. Hope to see you there!

Saturday Mornings for

Whipowill Hill Farm


Our new place to hang out on Saturday mornings is the Asheboro Farmers' Market on Church Street. We back into our little space and set up our table, plug in the freezer and we are set. The area is covered and even has fans that help circulate the air. It is a state of the art space.


We meet lots of different people and get to catch up with all of the other vendors set up there. Everyone is there to help the other person out and everyone is friendly. I love being able to get up and check out all the baked goods. Then I go back and check out all the vegetables and plants. Towards the end I finally make my way to Mr. Ingold and get our beef for the week. All this while giving Hugh with Uwharrie Heirlooms a hard time. It is such a great way to spend our Saturday morning!


Last week we had samples of our sausage and almost sold out. We are checking inventory and seeing if we can do samples of something else this week. We need to keep everyone guessing as to what we will have. Please come on by and see us this Saturday. We loved to show you around.

Asheboro Farmer's Market

Wake up early and come hang out with us at the Asheboro Farmer's Market tomorrow. This will be our first day set up in the Farmer's Market world so we could use all the support we can get. Going to Farmer's Markets are one of our most favorite things to do, so we hope selling at one is an enjoyable experience! Tomorrow is strawberry day so things should be hopping. Hugh with Uwharrie Heirlooms will be there with his plants as well. Start time is 7AM and things start slowing down by 1PM. Maybe we will be sold out by then.

Please help support your local farmers. Thanks!

New Sign



Check out our new sign. My grandpa made this for us. He made one for the building and one for us to place at the end of the road so people can start finding us now. We are really starting to look official around here.

Also- piggy went to market this week. We are excited to be offering some new products starting on Monday May 3rd. New next week are: country style ribs, boneless pork chops, and ground pork. All of these can be bought at our farm store or can be ordered through Anne at StarWorks Gardens. She is great to work with!!!

Turkey Poults are hatching and Donny has started calling the people on his waiting list. There are some Royal Palm, Narragnsett and Bronze turkey poults now available. Please give Donny a Call if interested, they go really fast.

Only 3 piglets left as well. We had a good sale rate on these and people have been very satisified with the ones they have.

Charlotte's Web?

Meet the runt of the group. She is so much smaller than her brothers and sisters. She has become quite the little pet for Ms. Aubrey who carries it around like a doll when she is allowed to. The mommy pig still takes good care of the lil' girl but she will never be as big as the others. It looks like Whipowill Hill Farm will have its own Wilbur (well in this case a Wilma.) Donny is so excited that we have an opportunity for another pet. Just what we need he says....

Most farms would have a livestock guardian dog or something in that line, but not us. We chose (or should I say they chose us) to have wonderful Basset Hounds that howl in the middle of the night at things. We have so enjoyed our girl Bassets, Cindy Lou and Lou Lou that we have decided to add one more. This is our new pup Charlie Brown. He is already spoiled rotten and we hope he grows up to be great friends with the ladies. I just recently purchased a new sign for the front porch that I think sums it up our house. "Dogs are like potato chips, you can't just have one!"

New Arrivals on the Farm. Our big momma sow welcomed over a dozen new little ones last week. She is a good momma and takes very good care of them. She is off limits to the kids as she can be a little over protective. She even gives Donny a hard time when he feeds her. There are also two more litters that are almost weened and their new owners will be coming soon to get them. If you think you would be interested in a new addition to your farm give us a call to come visit and pick one out.
