Our egg layers and meat chickens are raised on pasture as soon as they can be, and supplemented with plenty of garden scraps and milk or whey from our family milk cow. All our birds are fed a freshly ground NON-GMO/organic grain ration to support their health. Our two Herford cross mama sows raise our piglets until they are ready to be turned out to graze. In addition to all the garden scraps, fresh milk/whey, and foraging, they do get a ration of traditional corn and soy to maintain their condition. Each season a large outdoor garden and 3 high tunnels are managed by our family and the help of friends! Our weeds are managed by hand and fire, as well as pests. This offers a premium product, without the use of any chemicals or sprays. Beekeeping is a small part of what we do, but we believe bees are essential to pollinating our garden. The honey sold is just a bonus (and often in small supply)! Our hives never leave the radius of of our farm, meaning all the allergen benefits of local honey are truly local! If all that wasn’t enough, we have a program for YOU to help our family continue our farm during the slower months.
