How We Raise Our Animals

Aside from abiding by organic regulations and standards, which require 100% organic feed, no hormones or antibiotics, etc., we give something extra to our livestock: plenty of space and access to outdoors. Only when our fields are too wet, during part of the winter, do we keep the cows off the pasture. The calves stay with their moms for two months. 

The hens, chicks, and roosters have a large yard to scratch around and greens to eat. The pigs are pastured as well. We raise almost all of our own feed, putting up hay and silage for the winter, and growing grain for the chickens, pigs, and milking cows. Our steers are raised on grass. (See www.eatwild.com for information on the benefits of grass-fed beef.) 

We think our animals have a good life here. We invite you to visit and judge for yourself.
