To start the New Year right, Tidal Creek has set a goal to carry as much organic, all natural and high quality products from local producers as we could find. We believe that the only way you can truly support local is to buy local products. So in an effort to achieve this goal and put our money where our mouth is, we are proud to announce the new arrival of Rainbow Meadow Farms meat products. Known for pure, wholesome, and superior tasting pasture-raised foods, their products are unadulterated, free of added chemicals, hormones and antibiotics and are minimally processed. As a family farm, they are able to individually raise and select their animals giving them complete control to ensure the highest standards of flavor and quality from their pasture to your plate.

Rainbow Meadow Farms is a multi-generational family farm in Greene County, NC that has been in operation since 1746. The farm is named after the Rainbow Run, a beautiful winding stream that borders the clover-laden meadow behind the old homestead. Comprising the Rainbow Meadow Farms family are Jeff and Sandra Garner, along with their children, Genell Pridgen and her husband John, and Lynn Weston and her husband Tim, as well as the grandchildren. Their mission at Rainbow Meadow Farms is to employ sustainable farming practices thereby producing not only superior tasting and healthy meat products but also preserving and enhancing the ecological health of their farmland, water and local wildlife. Eight generations have taken pride in producing a healthy food product for the people of eastern NC.

So look for their products on Aisle 1 and continue to buy local to support local!
