MEET SHORT CREEK FARM'S CO-OWNERS, DAVE AND JEFF
Dating back to the 1930s and spreading over 200 acres, Short Creek Farm is the real deal. Meet Jeff, old-school and knowledgeable about farming, while Dave, the farm’s chief sausage maker, portrays the image of a weathered and educated frontiersman. He is the alchemist, taking what ingredients he can get and transforming all of what is produced into improbably high-end meats. The ingredients get driven out to Dave's kitchen in Dover for cooking. From there the essences of the farm rush out like a swarm of militant bees. The hemlock originating and flourishing in Short Creek’s woods become hemlock sausage. “We like flavors that are specific to Short Creek Farm,” says Dave. “Part of a broader goal is to have the character of the place reflected in the product.”
