Self Service at the Farm

Nathan Newsletters 0 Comment

Exciting news! We’re thrilled to announce a new way to shop with Drager Farms. We aim to make our 100% grassfed beef accessible to more people by offering a convenient, contactless shopping experience through new technology, including a virtual payment option.

Once you arrive at the farm, there will be signs pointing you in the right direction!

How this works

There is a cooler outside of the barn under the overhang. Inventory in this cooler can vary. If you are seeking a certain amount of product, contact Nathan ahead of time and it can be placed in the cooler for you or a pick up can be arranged.

Our current inventory as of 1/22/25 includes rib bones, knuckle bones, suet and marrow at the freezer located at 1558 Old River Road, Marietta, PA 17547.

Payment Options

We are adding a virtual payment option! Something more sophisticated may arise in the future, but for now we accept PayPal. The option to pay cash or check for items you pick from self service is still accepted. All payments will be on the honor system and an “honor box” will be on site. Drager Farms is excited to liquidate current inventory and get ready for the 2025 season!

2017 Pork Share Planned

I am excited to announce that because of your interest, I’ve decided to raise pigs again this year and do a pork share this summer. I’ll be getting piglets in March from a Niman Ranch producer and processing in July.

All Niman Ranch farmers must follow strict protocols based on sustainability and humane practices. So these piglets start out the best way possible and continue living a natural lifestyle, roaming and rooting, on my farm.

I am asking $250 down for a whole pig or $150 down for a half share. More details and payment options can be found here: https://dragerfarms.com/product/pork-share/. If you want a whole or half share but don’t have room to store it, I can keep it for you (up to 1 year) for an additional 50¢ per pound. If you’re interested in something other than a whole or half share, please let me know so I can plan accordingly. Call or text 717-951-0327, or email nathan@olddragerfarms.com to discuss.

— Drager Farms, LLC in Marietta, PA, uses sustainable agriculture methods to produce Certified Grassfed by AGW beef —

MARIETTA, PA (AUGUST 30, 2016)–Drager Farms, LLC is the first farming business in Pennsylvania to be Certified Grassfed by A Greener World (AGW). This is the only certification and logo in the U.S. and Canada that guarantees food products come from animals fed a 100 percent grass and forage diet, raised outdoors on pasture or range for their entire lives, and managed according to Certified AWA’s leading welfare and environmental standards on an independent family farm. While other grassfed labels exist, none has fully met consumer expectations when it comes to a grassfed and forage diet, environmental management, and farm animal welfare–until now.
