Meats

Tasty, Healthy and Organically Raised

Incorporating animals into our farm completes our whole farm organic approach to farming and fertility. The result is high quality healthy meat packed with flavor. We use their manure to make our compost, this is a large source of fertility for our fields, especially our vegetable gardens. Also, fields we have in hay and pasture to feed the animals, enables those fields to be rested (not tilled). This helps the soil structure to grow and builds fertility, it also helps break pest, disease, and weed cycles.

All the animals raised on the farm are raised in a humane sustainable way with high standards of animal husbandry. We believe that all the animals should be treated as the living beings they are, and not just as units of production. And that animals should have the ability to live in a way that enables them to do the things required of their species. Chickens are able to run, eat bugs, scratch soil, have dust baths, Pigs are able to root and wallow, Sheep are able to roam and graze etc. Animals on the farm are only treated with antibiotics or any other unnatural medicine if we feel their life and well being is at risk. Those animals would also not be sold for slaughter.

To supply our animals who also need a large amount of grain like the poultry and pigs. We currently purchase a NON GMO Organic/conventional grain mix with no added hormones or antibiotics from a local feed supplier. We currently are working towards having all our animals on 100% Local organic grain at a fair price. We believe by growing our own grains and working with other local farms and the local feed mill this is possible.
