4th of July SALE!




It's BBQ Time!



Whether you'll be smoking or straight up grilling dinner, if it's just you or you and twenty of your closest buddies, Omache Farm has the pork you'll need for your 4th of July Barbecue!


You can bet it'll be for the delicious pork loin chops you're grilling up!  Who needs fireworks anyways?


This is a great chance to try out some chops on the grill with your family and friends!  Stock up while they're on sale so you can try them with sage, with Paprika, with a ginger marinade, with a hot and spicy rub...

Drop by any of the Farmer's Markets between now and the 4th of July to pick up some chops for your dinner.  

You may also email us to reserve an order for pickup: tell us approximately how much (packages/pounds, whatever you measure by) of each type of cut you'd like along with your best contact info and we'll set it aside, ready for you to pay at pickup at the market you specify.

Transplanting Party!



Transplanting party!

Sunday June 21st!


We are having a Transplanting work party BBQ on Sunday, June 21st and would love it if you and your family could make it!

We'll be working hard all morning to bust through hundreds of transplants as a crew and then enjoy some delicious Omache Farm Pork and potluck dishes.

Jake Cho of WSU Dining has volunteered to prepare some of our leg roasts for lunch.  We'll be harvesting some fresh greens for a super-fresh salad to go along with a few other dishes.  Bring along something to share and be ready to meet some new and old friends as we all pitch in to get things growing!

What to bring:


A hat, sunscreen and a water bottle are all that are required.  There will be plenty of water to refill your bottle as needed.

We recommend that you wear closed toe shoes and pants that cover your knees as transplanting does involve moving along the ground.

If crawling along a row is a bit much for you, we always have some folks sitting around pulling plugs for those that are transplanting also.

Families with children are welcome as well!  There are plenty of jobs available for children if they would like to help or they are welcome to just hang out or play.

Updates Updates Updates



Tons of updates all around!

Our newsletter page here has all of our newsletters in PDF format available whenever you wish to view them.

We have some new videos available on our You Tube channel as well: one watching just how quickly our shearer, Martin Dibble, can shear a ewe.  One watching him shear our largest ram-takes a wee bit longer, especially since I think the ram outweighs Martin by a good bit.  The last one is much longer: Martin helped Ryan, our Intern (who you will have a change to meet more in depth at a later date) shear a yearling ewe.  It takes about 15 minutes or so but it's quite educational and very cool to watch.  Ryan did a fantastic job!

There are also plenty of photos from shearing available on our flicker photo page which should have it's own tab up above here as well.  Take a look and see what fun you missed!

See you at the markets!
