Paleo Caramel Apple Pork Chops
Untrustworthy meat…We are very fortunate to have some pretty reliable local farmers who love what they do and are very passionate about their animals. Kevin and Jen Gillis are local farmers who have beer raising pigs, cows and chickens. Located in St Andrews, Peasants’ Craft specializes in premium grass-fed Highland beef and Berkshire pork.
All of their animals are raised naturally without antibiotics, growth hormones or animal by-products. All smoking, curing, and sausage making is done without gluten and nitrites.
They sell their products directly at the farm gate by appointment, delivered to your home or dropped off at our new Caveman Strong gym in Cornwall.
