Gunthorp Farms

Northeast Indiana is a fantastic place to find great local sustainably produced food, thanks in large part to the presence of the Amish and some great family-​owned farms. Amidst all these, though, Gunthorp Farms stands out as the best place in this part of the state for responsibly raised, delicious meat. They sell wonderful pork, chicken, rabbit, and duck at their store, which is located right on the farm, which is also home to their own USDA-​inspected processing facility. Gunthorp mostly sells to upper end restaurants around the Midwest, though, and retail sales are not a top priority. Fridays and Saturdays (check their website for hours — they’re not conventional) they sell what are basically the scraps that the restaurants won’t take. This is still great meat at a great price, though. Go for the pork loin ends (real tenderloin, just awkwardly cut).
If you want a whole bird, rabbit, etc. call a week ahead and order. However, the only reason I’m not giving Gunthorp five stars is that the first time I did this they forgot to do the chickens I ordered. As above, retail sales are not really their big priority, so I just wouldn’t make any big plans dependent on what you’re getting. They did have «freshly frozen» chickens available (frozen after two days rather than the two weeks factory farms often give them).
Finally, I would be remiss not to mention that Gunthorp sells rendered duck fat for the unbelievable price of $ 20/​gallon. Buy some Yukon Golds and make the best fries you’ve ever tasted!
