We are proud to be a supplier of locally grown, top quality, USDA processed Boer goat meat for Harbour Public House.
Not only do they serve incredibly scrumptious meals; they support the sustainability movement by serving locally grown products.
At Harbour Public House, you get fresher, more nutritious and delicious food,
with surroundings and service every bit as delightful as the ingredients they use!
At Richard and Sandy's Boer Goat farm, we believe locally grown produce and meat is better for everyone.
We encourage you to support farmers and butchers in your community by purchasing your meat and produce locally. Purchasing locally keeps food dollars where they do the most good. Small farms provide healthy, well fed and well cared for animals and nutritious produce. Local items are fresher and have that natural flavor you just don't get from out of state, or worse yet, out of country items.
By buying locally grown, you get fresh food instead of items that have been frozen for extended periods of time and shipped long distances. The local living concept has the added benefit of saving fuel and saving costs. By not shipping long distances, fuel consumption is lower and by using less fossil fuels our air is just a little cleaner.
Small farmers eat what they grow. They put a lot of time and energy into putting a prime product on their table, and they sell those same items to you. If you were raising food for your family's table, would you risk your family's health by practicing unsafe feeding and production habits? Probably not. You would do what local farmers do, you would grow the healthiest, most nutritious items possible.
In addition to buying locally, try growing a few of your own vegetables and herbs. Container gardening is beautiful and can produce fresh, delicious food for your family. You get a premium product at a fraction of the cost. If you have a little extra room, try raising part of your meat supply and have it processed and ready to prepare for that special family occasion. Home grown food is fresh, has better flavor, provides maximum nutrition, saves money and is an excellent family project to teach kids where their food comes from.
Buying ‘in season’ and learning techniques to preserve the bounty of that season allows you to enjoy the riches of the food you saved during non growing season.
Tips:
1)
Purchase a whole animal with friends/co workers/ family and split the cost several ways for large animals, beef, lamb, goat, pork and visit your local harbor, Indian reservation for Fresh Fish. Have it custom cut and spend a mere $150 for a small chest freezer. One small chest freezer will take up very little room in your home or apartment and will store a lot of meat. You’ll use that chest freezer for several years which will lower the cost of the freezer to just a few dollars a year over time.

Not just the stands by the road. These are sometimes vegetables and fruits from hundreds of miles away. Search the Internet for local farmer’s guides. Nearly every area has them now.

They are usually either low cost or free to use and you just have to purchase your food, or your own homegrown food, canning jars, lids and rims and any pectin or salt you might need. Also purchase an inexpensive Ball Blue Book usually where ever canning supplies are sold.
