Fresh, Local, and Delicious: Middle Mountain Farmstead’s Seasonal Products

At Middle Mountain Farmstead, we believe great food starts with healthy soil, happy animals, and a deep respect for the land. Located in the heart of West Virginia, our family farm grows and raises everything with care—from crisp cauliflower in spring to pasture-raised pork in every season. When you buy directly from the farm, you’re not just choosing local food—you’re choosing better flavor, better nutrition, and a deeper connection to the land and people behind every bite.

Whether you're shopping for vegetables, fruit, or the highest quality pasture-raised pork, our offerings shift with the growing season, ensuring everything you eat is harvested at its peak. Here’s a look at what’s growing, grazing, and gracing the table throughout the year at Middle Mountain Farmstead.

What Makes Seasonal Farm Products So Special?

Seasonal farm products are harvested when they’re naturally ready—no artificial ripening, no weeks of transportation across the country. That means more vitamin content, fresher taste, and better nutrition in every dish. Plus, eating with the seasons supports sustainable agriculture, reduces the strain on the supply chain, and brings your meals in sync with your local climate—like the humid subtropical climate of West Virginia.

Our market garden thrives with changing colors, textures, and recipes as the year unfolds. From the earthy roots of carrot, turnip, and rutabaga in autumn, to the juicy burst of cherry, peach, and strawberry in early summer, each product tells a story of soil, sun, and sustainable care.

Our Specialty: Pasture-Raised Pork, Year-Round

While vegetables and fruit rise and fall with the seasons, our pasture-raised pork is a constant. Our pigs graze on rotating pasture with plenty of access to forage, sunshine, and clean water. This rotational grazing supports regenerative agriculture, improves soil health, and produces rich, flavorful meat you won’t find in stores.

We offer:

  • Pork chops, pork loin, and pork tenderloin for weekday meals

  • Flavorful cuts like pork ribs, spare ribs, and boston butt for BBQs

  • Ham, ham hock, pasture-raised bacon, and pork belly for slow roasts

  • Artisan sausages like bratwurst, chorizo, and Italian sausage

  • Pasture-raised ground pork and pulled pork for tacos, burgers, and bowls

Because we raise our pigs ethically—antibiotic-free, with humane care—you can feel confident about the nutrition, flavor, and integrity of every cut. Our pork is available year-round, but select cuts may rotate based on harvest and customer demand.

Why Buying Local Matters

When you support local food systems, you're doing more than buying a meal—you’re building community, protecting agriculture in your region, and contributing to healthy ecosystems. Every order helps sustain our family farm, supports ethical livestock practices, and invests in organic farming methods that honor both animals and the land.

It’s also about trust. Unlike anonymous grocery store labels, you know exactly where your meat, vegetables, and fruit come from. You know they’ve been handled properly, stored in clean refrigerators, and picked at the perfect moment.
