Sean and I bought a grocery store!


We are now the new owners of Cliff's Country Market in Caldwell, Idaho. 


Since the shutdowns in 2020, we have felt called to help be a part of food security and provide local, quality food for the community. Cliff's Country Market focuses on sourcing local, organic, non-GMO, and gluten-free products. Owning a grocery store fits perfectly into our future goals. 


Cliff has done a fantastic job serving Canyon County and has been sourcing quality produce and food products for over 25 years before organic was cool and popular! Marilyn and Cliff have been a great team in building this business, but as they approach their 80th birthday, it is time to find a new owner who will continue the vision of their store.


We officially take over the store on October 1st!


We will have a soft opening on Saturday, October 1st, to celebrate the transition. 


What does this mean for Cunningham Pastured Meats?


The first exciting thing about acquiring Cliff's Country Market is that we now have a retail location for our meat! So, if you missed placing your order or need some last-minute meat, you can come into the store to purchase our meat right off the shelf.


Secondly, we will have Cliff's Country Market as a pickup location for orders. Right now, the only pickup location we have is at Boise Cold storage, so we are excited to be able to offer another pickup location for those who want to order a smaller order or live outside of our delivery location. (This pickup location will open the first week of October). 


In due time we plan to offer more quality products through our home delivery services, so keep an eye on our emails in the future! We also plan to bring all our cold storage and packing to the store, but for right now, we will continue our meat delivery out of Boise Cold storage. 


If you have never been to Cliff's Country Market in Caldwell, Idaho, we highly recommend driving to the store to check it out! (Here's the Google Map Location).

Here's a short list of products that the store carries:

  • Cunningham Pastured Meats
  • Raw Milk! 
  • Pasture-raised eggs
  • All types of quality dairy products
  • Organic, local, and low-spray produce
  • A wide variety of gluten-free products, including baked goods made right in the store (a separate bakery for gluten-free products)
  • Large selection of flours and cooking supplies (hard-to-find, gluten-free, cooking flours)
  • And many more products!

Please join us on October 1st for our soft opening of Cliff's Country Market. We will be grilling up and sampling our meat!

We are thrilled to have a new avenue to serve you and your family on a new level.

When Disaster Strikes

When Disaster Strikes

Even in this modern day and age... Farming is hard. Farmers and ranchers frequently encounter a variety of stress-related challenges. These include significant financial burdens resulting from high levels of debt, fluctuations in market prices for their agricultural products, social isolation, pressures of keeping the family farming legacy running, stigma associated with mental health issues, and reliance on uncontrollable factors such as weather conditions. Due to this extreme stress, farmers and ranchers experience depression and suicide rates that are double those of the average person. Every season, those in agriculture face new uncertainties and challenges. Will it be a mild or rough winter? Will we have a storm that wipes out my crops? Did that hot, dry summer last year cause my cattle to not get bred? There was a fire on the range where I run my cattle, and now I don't have enough feed for all my cows. What will commodity prices be when I'm ready to sell? Unfortunately, our pasture-raised chicken provider, Brian, recently experienced a disaster. When chicks first arrive on the farm, they are too fragile to be put directly on pasture. Therefore, they spend their initial weeks inside a brooder, where the temperature is consistently maintained until they are old enough to tolerate outdoor living conditions. These cozy houses are typically heated with propane heaters or heat lamps. However, a downside to this heating method is that it can pose a fire hazard. A good friend's shed burned down because a heat lamp fell during the night and ignited a fire. Unfortunately, Brian experienced a fire incident. Fortunately, none of his other brooders caught fire, and the local fire department was able to contain the blaze quickly. It's truly heartbreaking to lose an entire batch of chickens; the stress and weight of that loss can be incredibly overwhelming. Though Brian is good at persevering, it doesn't lessen the financial impact that this type of event can cause.  Brian works hard through the hottest summer months to provide us with the highest quality chickens you can find in the area. Despite this setback, his first batch of chickens was already out of the brooders on pasture, so we will be receiving our first batch of fresh chickens the second week of June.  Brian is best supported by your loyal purchases of his delicious chicken. Season after season, he dedicates himself to raising chickens on pasture, ensuring that you receive the highest quality chicken for your family.  Your continued support of our business is what keeps us going, helping us navigate both emotionally and financially challenging times. Thank you for your continued support! ❤️

Puppies & Lambs

Puppies & Lambs

I can't think of anything cuter than a baby surrounded by a bunch of puppies. Here’s a photo of my daughter with our latest litter of Jack Russell Terrier puppies, and I must say... she's absolutely adorable. My daughter spent nearly 30 minutes sitting on the floor as these tiny puppies cuddled up to her as closely as they could. Our children adore caring for puppies. They eagerly anticipate the arrival of the puppies when they are born, and they play and cuddle with the puppies nearly every day! Just look at this adorable little puppy, sound asleep 😴 If you are interested in our Jack Russell's you can Check out our website here <<<< Spring is incredibly enjoyable as we often see baby animals all around! Recently, my daughter also assisted a baby lamb that needed extra care. We will walk through the field where our sheep give birth and look for lambs that are not pairing up with their moms and appear skinny. We then take them into our house and give them a bottle of milk. In this particular situation, we were able to determine which mother sheep this lamb belonged to. We put them in a pen together for a few days, and then the mom finally learned how to take care of her baby, and she's doing great now! Spring brings such a delightful sense of renewal as we see new life springing up all around us!
